The famous Ostap Bender at the beginning of the last century claimed to know 400 "relatively honest ways of taking money." But, against the background of the current "schemers" the literary "son of a Turkish citizen" looks like a law-abiding citizen.
Representatives of the Central Bank note that recently, fraudsters who organize various financial pyramids have become much more active. At the end of last year, a record number of such scams was recorded for the last five years - 237. Most often, scammers offer to invest in cryptocurrency. Also among the popular objects of "investment" are the construction of houses using 3D printers, vouchers for cruises around the world, various agricultural projects.
The scheme of work of all pyramids is approximately the same. Gullible investors are first shown the profits made by real people (professional participants), and then they are presented with detailed calculations (accurate to hundredths of a percent) of the growth of their welfare after making the first contribution. All communication takes place on specially designed forums and sites or social networks and looks quite realistic. The only problem is that over 90% of depositors end up with nothing, and all income is sent to the accounts of organizers and professional participants, who are the “base” of the pyramid.
According to experts, the number of gullible citizens who want to invest in projects that bring passive income is quite large. And the amount of funds raised is impressive in size. For example, about 500 million rubles were "invested" in the AirBitClub cryptocurrency pyramid.
In order not to become a victim of scammers, specialized experts recommend ignoring all offers of profitable investment that come to your email or social media account without exception. And also not to succumb to provocative messages about winning the lottery or inheriting in Africa or America. In the end, it all comes down to the fact that in order to get a huge amount, you will be offered to make a small money transfer for registration, payment of a commission or other running costs. This is, in fact, the end of the receipt of "easy" money.
