What is a pyramid scheme?
A pyramid scheme is a business model based on recruiting an ever-growing amount of new investors, versus traditional business models that are based on the exchange of goods and services.
Members are recruited using promises of payment or services if they bring other members into the scheme, those members must then recruit new members and so on.
The main focus is to recruit new participants, with fraudsters using the money paid by new recruits to pay the earlier ones.
It's illegal in the UK, the US and in many parts of the world as its considered a way for fraudsters to lure in participants with promises of large returns in a short space of time.
But eventually, the schemes collapse as the original founder doesn't have enough funds from old investors to pay the new ones.
