> Google found articles from 2002, nothing recent. I think I already know that it's a pyramid. I'm upset that she should call me out of the blue and it turns out to be because of THIS scheme. Maybe a past friend should remain in the past :(
Ya, it's a pyramid. One of the techniques to draw in naive people is to convince them to make a list of names....all the people they've ever met. Then they're convinced to contact all these people, in hopes that they bring in the next level of participants, and thus, supposedly, to secure their own place in the pyramid. Meanwhile, those at the top are making LARGE.
Gotta love that radar thingie. Why on Earth would someone say, "It's not a pyramid", unless it was one?
