How to spot a pyramid scheme - Stacie Bosley
Learn the techniques and tricks that pyramid schemes use to recruit new members and how to avoid being fooled yourself.
--
In 2004, a nutrition company offered a life-changing opportunity to earn a full-time income for part-time work. There were only two steps to get started: purchase a $500 kit and recruit two more members. By 2013, the company was making $200 million. There was just one problem -- the vast majority of members earned less than they paid in. Stacie Bosley explains what a pyramid scheme is and how to spot one.
