Now that is pretty fricken funny. Though I am not sure as to why it matters at all. Any body for a company can put up numbers and such that make themselves look better or act better then they are.
In a lot of cases Pyramid Scemes are found anywhere. You get someone to buy your product. Then get a testamonial. Then give them a special discount if they spread the word. Like say a referal Program  Instead of getting front up cast or commission they are getting a discount for refering people to your business. This is found at all levels of business accross the world. |

A pyramid scheme is not the same as a referral. In a referral one of your customers send someone to you for you to sell the product to them. It is not the same thing as one of your customers becoming a “dealer” for your product and then they get other people to become “dealers”. They tout success stories and tell people how it is soo easy to make millions and you don’t even have to do anything.
Referal programs do not cause a company to fall. All the people in the middle become broke and the people at the top live fat an happy.
Good case study of the a pyramid scheme |
