Answer 1

No. This is just pyramid selling. The theory is fine, in practice it does not work. This scheme has been going for donkeys years. There have even been tv exposure programs about it.

Answer 2

this is based on people taking part, similar schemes have been done over the years and its all based on trust, how legal it all actually is is another matter.



However I do know of people who did a similar thing with underwear, you sent out 6 letters with your name at the top of the list, those 6 letters got passed onto 6 of each of their friends who had to send you a pair of knickers (you tell them your size obviously).



This should mean you get 36 pairs for only buying a pair of knickers, now no one got 36 pairs to my knowledge but they did get quite a few and knickers back.



Always check the legality before getting involved!

Answer 3

Pros NONE

Cons Jail time for participating in an illegal pyramid scheme.
