"This form of fraudulent scheme is an old favourite to which many of us may have been exposed. Recruitment usually takes place in pubs or private homes where new recruits, invited by family and friends, are told that they cn convert a sum of money, say £1,000 into £10,000 in a few days. All you have to do is to hand over(invest) your money and secure new recruits to the scheme enabling the original recruits to move up a level in the pyramid. When you reach the top of the pyramid and receive your £10,000 you leave the scheme and make away for a new intake of 'winners'.
The schemes are called pyramid scheme because the money works its way up to a few people at the top and it's only those people who receive the financial benefit. The scheme only goes on working so long as there is an inexhaustible supply of people who are prepared to join at the base of the pyramid in order to push those who joined earlier towards the top. Sooner or later, the supply of recruits (and money) dries up and those who have money in the scheme at that time won't get it back."
