Pyramid Schemes are illegal, they were very popular in the 70's and early 80's. You simply get invited into one usually by someone you know for $100 and money keeps working it's way to the top people. Then you invite people in for the same amount, the more people under you the more money you made. Illegal Pyramids only exchange money and do not offer any products or services. Some people today call MLM's pyramids but there are uneducated and usually are the broke people that live paycheck to paycheck and always will. Back in the late 80's the The Supreme Court of the United State ruled that MLM's are legal and must follow strict guidelines. If you want more info on the legit ones or have anymore questions email me direct anytime at fortunehtm@hotmail.com , Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Robert Kiyosaki all agree it's the only way in today's business world that the average joe can play on the same field as the big boys.
