Gifting circle a scam.

People are so stupid to get involved in these things, and are so confident that they can induct 8 people each with 5 k into their little scam. If they don't get all 8, they lose their 5 grand.
If I was to involve myself in a pathetic mess like that, I'd start at the top, pay nobody, mooch 5 grand off anyone I could, even if it's only 1 person.
I win.
And it didn't cost a dime.
Suckers.

Goodness people are stupid.

Back in the 80's I know a few that "went over the top" in
Pyramid schemes.
Also several more that got hauled away in 'cuffs"

Greed and desperation make people do the stupidest things.

What's really funny is the amount of people who kick in 5 grand to someone and they haven't a clue if they can scam 8 of their friends for 5 k each or not.

Lol.
Peeps are so stupid.
And they have babies.

I am just hoping the story isn't about a friend of mine :135:

Your right about the victoms being desprate Bman.
This friend of mine has always been desperate to get ahead and because of that has been taken advantage of more often than I could count.
Too bad, she is one of the nicest people I know.

If your friends fall for this kinda thing, you need to get new friends.
