This person will be excited and will be like, if I put $2000 I will make $16,000. Once he put $2000 (basically its the last time he/she will make money, because he/she will be at the bottom of the prymid), the money in the pool will be $94,000 ($92,000+$2,000). But the number of 'beneficiaries' from $94,000 will increase by 2. (99+2= 101.) This will go on until 12pple gets their $8,000 and the 13th person will get $4,000. then the pool will dry out. Usually the first pple who benefit is the recruiter (usually he gets in twice or more), his wife and kids.

I meant to say that this person will became a victim too (he gonna fall in 87.5% catagory), and he wont make money, since he will be at the bottom of the prymid. If a recruiter is smart enough he walks away with money, but if he is greedy and 're-invest' all the money, he becomes a victim of his own game (some recruter dont see the logic amangowona ndalama).

If you dont see the logic, then go and 'invest' your money. It takes couple wks to see the logic. Good lucky. Nowa analosela za mvula anthu sanamumvele.

I was calculating how many beers I can buy from $1,000. Damn!!! If you need help kumenya ma recruiters ndilipo for a small fee.

Pyramid schemes are more of a form of gambling than investment. If you think about it, that's exactly how the lottery works; collect from the many, return to the few. If they try to sell schemes like that as "investments" it's daylight robbery. As gambling though, it actually isn't too bad. A 12.5% chance of winning anything is much more than you get for other forms of gambling e.g. the lottery.

Welcome back son, I remember you from somewhere. Last time I talked to you, I was impressed, because youre one of the few pple who could admit wrong. I thought that was cool. Most pple here they just disappear and reappear later as if nothing happened. You excepted yourself from future baptism of fire. I hope you take jokes too.

The recruiters are saying, this is investment. I might be wrong, may be they have their ways of multiplying the $1000 to make $8000 within 8wks. But from what I heard from the pple who attended the meetings, I have no doubt this is pyramid scam.

While I agree with you that 12.5% is better odd, you have to take into consideration that a good number in the 12.5% are the recruiters themself.

Lets not dwell on those minor issues, because the big issues are to come. I really dont know if these recruiters did back ground checks on some of the 'investers' because they are really dangerous. I wouldnt even invite them in a genuine business deal. Even the late Mwitha will think twice before kuwaika mu chikombole. If they manage to get into the 12.5%, I know they will still ask for more. They will probable say why only $8000 and not $8100 when you used my money to make me money. I tell you theyre bad.

These are some of the examples I met over the weekend.

1. I will call this one Matayala Nyalugwe for privancy purpose or for the same reason why you call yourself Awmygawd . As the name suggest, any time you have a scuffle with him amabowola matayala. I remember one time I didnt buy him a beer, the next morning I had two flat tyres. The other dude learned the hard way, because he could not pay back a $10 loan. He borrowed $10 from him to buy him beers (can you imagine). This one had five flat tires. You may wonder why 5 tires. Anapwetsa ndi spare tire lomwe. This guy is into tire business. He can tell you a tire brand, year of make, warranty etc even in the dark. I dont know what he is gonna do if he doesnt get his share. Probable aphulitsa 5 set of tire in advance before even these recruiters get them from the shop. Akagula obowoledwa kale. And he is good at scratching cars too. I remember he wrote on my car ' udzigula mowa.'

2. When I learned that these pple scam this young quite boy, I will call him Njoka Yofatsa, I felt bad. But my friend Kazitape told me that he is probable one of the most cruel of them all. He told me what he did back in malawi. He was en route to SA and he was spending a nite at Capital Hotel because of flight connection problems. So he decided just to walk to visit a friend at Area 11, but the hotel receptionist adviced him against the idea, because of achifwamba on the entrance. About 20 min he was back and he told the receptionist to call the cops, so that they can came and get 'their pple'. The receptionist learnt that Njoka Yofatsa met achifwamba and he beat them  up. The receptionist didnot like the idea of calling the cops, because he was pretty sure that achifwambawo athawa. But Njoka insisted on calling the cops. And he was right, because the cops found a chifwamba at the spot atagonelana gonelana akubuula. They were hurting from head to toe with broken bones. This is just one of the works of Njoka and somebody has decided to con him.

3. The third one is P. Diddy. I call him Diddy because how he gonna spend his share of the money. He told me he is gonna have 'white party' and champaign will be floating like crazy. This will be day he gonna unveil the new range rover sport he is buying and he is gonna spend alot on designers cloth. He is also gonna treat his girlfriend to a nice expensive vacation. I dont know where he is gonna get the girlfriend, because he doesnt have one at the moment. I wanted to tell him that I just broke the 'Da Vinci Code' on Malawiana and that he should forget about those dreams. But I was afraid he was gonna slap me. Anyway these recruiters have con this guy too.

4. And there is this woman wolalata mwachabe.(suggest a name pls). I hear anamulalatira wakuba to the point that wakuba anawona ngati malawulo. And true, they have con this one too.
