are they trying some reverse psychology or something? because it's so funny that they are not even trying to hide it's a pyramid scheme.
Exactly my point, they are being plain simple about their scheme and hope people fall for it. The thread has been nuked. So that is a good thing for now.
the way i think of it is that scamming is a virus here on the forum. although, unfortunately, there will be some victims, but the more you are exposed to scams, the more immunity we build. (things i tell myself to cope with reality)
I think our power is limited here to building awareness about scams and actively reporting scams. It is a side effect of free speech that people can talk up any bullshit they want and it can spread like wildfire, much of the internet phenomena that happen these days - scams propagate through word of mouth similarly, specially MLM and HYIP.
But those who want to get scammed, you cannot stop them.
