What are Money Games

  • An illegal pyramid or ponzi investment scheme.
  • High returns of 6% or more EACH month (skim cepat kaya)
  • You make back your money after typically 6 months to a year, and beyond that would be earnings.
  • Paid to recruit people as your downline.

 

Why NOT to Invest in Money Games

  • Unsustainable and you are gambling that it will not collapse while you are in it.
  • Relationships will sour / be destroyed with friends and family you “recruit” if they lose money in the money games’ collapse.
  • You are not adding any value to the world but simply making money (stealing) from others.
  • It’s illegal: if you promote or conduct a pyramid scheme, you will be fined or jailed up to 5 years.

 

How to Know if It’s a Money Game

  • It’s blatantly introduced as a money game.
  • Excesses, riches, luxury properties, celebrities, and titles are openly flaunted, appealing to human greed.
  • Returns above 15% per annum (some as high as 20%, 30%, 40% or more).
  • “Guaranteed returns” (which are of course guaranteed by the company until it collapses. oh wait… sh%t!)

 

Common Money Game Tricks

  • Masquerades as a legitimate investment in forex (FX), commodities, shares, travel packages, real estate, virtual currency, social networks, and businesses.
  • Have some secret technology/robot/advantage that allows them to make awesome returns which they will let you in on for an “investment” as they need more “capital”.
  • Some give “points” which you can convert into spending while some pay you cash directly into your bank account.
  • Investment into “eShares” which are not actually shares. And/or conversion into worthless “shares” when the scheme is no longer sustainable.
