    Send me your name, telephone number, bank account details and any other information relating to yourself and I will rip you off for everything that you have.

    ^^At least I'm telling the truth and not trying to scam you^^

    The pyramid scheme is a scam, simple as.

    The scheme you need to follow is the Trapazoid - guaranteed millions.

    i thought the jist of this was that you BOUGHT a pyramid for €100 and then had somewhere in which to entomb your dead self, your other half, your servants and hundreds of urns and gourds.

    Dammit. Best cancel that new carpet delivery from Des Kelly Cairo Ltd.

    Matt Groening gets money every time a Simpsons reference is made in a Pyramid scheme thread.

    So at least someone makes money off them.

    Myself and the EX were caught up in a pyramid scam back in 2001.

    We were in Egypt and got ripped off of $50 for a camel ride around the pyramids that lasted less than an hour. :o

    We got most of it refunded and a return night trip out of it because the hotel had a part in it.

    What made m blood boil was when we found an entrance ticked on the ground which cost about 50c, if we knew that we wouldn't have bothered with the camels.

    It's probably just the National Lottery.
    That's a state sponsored pyramid scheme.
