Scams? Joker 88 and the like...what is the problem?

I think there’s probably a simpler explanation for Lisa’s obviously false claim

This scheme worked for many people. I personally know of many people who received money. It was shut down because many people in Europe became financially emancipated and gave up working altogether.

This post can be interpreted as encouraging people to engage in pyramid schemes, which are illegal. Note that our registration agreement here forbids the encouragement of illegal acts. This is a bannable offense.

If you want to discuss how these sorts of schemes work (and why they can’t work, in the long run), or discuss the legality of them, that’s fine. If you want to discuss why these types of schemes are illegal, as per the OP of this thread, that’s also fine.

But what you cannot do is encourage anyone to participate in this sort of scheme.
