Swetha, if you don't mind can you tell me what's Ponzi scheme

Meera sandhu
it is nothing but a fraudulent investment scheme

The investors are not paid the profit, but paid back their own money

it happens most of the time in chit funds or with friends

if i give u 5 rs and i expect you to give me rs 10, i get only 5 Rs or less

ha!

I am least interested in such investment schemes. Thus I have never involved in any Ponzi Scheme.

Swetha, good to see you after a long time!! Yes, that's true, most of us have been involved in such Ponzi schemes at one or the other time!

These schemes are also known as 'changing caps'. We get many schemes of this kind from time to time. Actually these are chain schemes. You give some money and will recoup your investment and earn more by recruiting or rather enticing more members to scheme. Those last in the chain are losers to those who entered first.

Or Better known as MLM (multilevel marketing) one has to keep the chain going and as soon as the chain breaks you are left high and dry. The most profit goes to the promoter of the scheme. You are lucky if you got your money back.

I am not interested in such scheme. Garuented return may be less but no tension. Ponzi scheme has some risk to get back your original principle.

You may be cheated even when small return is offered. It is necessary to see where from returns will be paid to you. It is better to invest in banks, post office or with well known listed profit making companies.
