How "Living Forever" Fooled Us

In my town "Living Forever" became famous for tricking people into giving them money with promises of making it grow fast. Its sad to say but many of my friends and evens some of my student got caughted up in it. They thought they were going to get rich quick but they ended up losing everything they put in.

How Ponzi Schemes Work

Ponzi schemes like "Living Forever" follow a sneaky pattern. At first they pay out big return to make it seem like they are legit. This convinces more people to join in and invest. But really the money they use to pay those returns comes from new people joining not from any real business. So when there are not enough new investors the whole thing collapses and lots of people lose their money.

How to Spot Ponzi Schemes

Its important to know how to recognize Ponzi schemes so you don't get tricked. some signs to watch out for are promises of guaranteed high returns not being clear about how they make money and relying too much on getting more people to join.

Ponzi Schemes and Cryptocurrency

Nowaday Ponzi scheme are getting into cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. They try to make it seem like new and exciting way to make Money fast but its just the same old scam in new package. We need to be careful especially when it come to invested in cryptocurrencie.
