Things you should know about pyramid schemes:
1. They are losers. Pyramiding is based on simple mathematics: many losers pay a few winners.
2. They are fraudulent. Participants in a pyramid scheme are, consciously or unconsciously, deceiving those they recruit. Few would pay to join if the diminishing odds were explained to them.
3. They are illegal. There is a real risk that a pyramid operation will be closed down by the officials and the participants subject to fines and possible arrest.
