PLEASE READ THIS B4 YOU MAKE A HUGE MISTAKE!!
The Fraud
The problem is that the scheme cannot go on forever because there is a finite number of people who can join the scheme (even if all the people in the world join). People are deceived into believing that by giving money they will make more money ("with an investment of just $100, you will receive $900 in return"). But no wealth has been created; no product has been sold; no investment has been made; and no service has been provided.

You Could Be Prosecuted

Sometimes posters claim that these schemes are completely legal, claiming they are mailing list or recipe services. These posters may even cite title 18, sections 1302, 1341, 1342, and 1343 of the "Postal Lottery Laws." These sections are part of the U.S. Code. I'm sure that none of these people have actually read them, because they do not authorize pyramid schemes. In fact, these are the very laws that make pyramid schemes illegal. (Take a minute to read 18 USC 1302, 1341, 1342, and 1343 for yourself.)

They may also claim that their e-mails are legal under "S. 1618" or "H.R. 3113." These were bills in the U.S. Congress that failed to become law. They have no legal effect.

Pyramid schemes have long been illegal when conducted by mail in the United States or Canada. The same laws apply to Internet chain letters if the mails are used at any point in the scheme.

The latest twist in these schemes is to claim to be selling something, such as reports, mailing lists, or recipes. The U.S. Postal Service warns: Do not be fooled if the chain letter is used to sell inexpensive reports on credit, mail order sales, mailing lists, or other topics. The primary purpose is to take your money, not to sell information. "Selling" a product does not ensure legality.

Legal Note

I sometimes get requests asking me to comment on the legality or repute of a suspicious-looking scheme. I am not a lawyer, so I cannot make legal conclusions about specific matters. All I can tell you is to avoid anything that looks anything like a pyramid scheme or that seems too good to be true. If you start or participate in one of these schemes, you risk jail time or large fines. It's not worth the risk.

  • That's right. read these comments with all the people swearing and making rude comments and being belligerent, because these are the people you are entrusting your money with.

  • this bitch is stupid ive reported tocs on my taxes i live in the suburbs and im from new york city. The shit changed my life and in matter of fact tocs is LEGAL!!! It changed my life im making 5 - 6 figures a month. YOu people better get with the program. MSBOKU you are an idiot it is a 1 up program so its impossible for it to be a pyramid scheme

  • You are not producing any goods or services which makes it a scheme. And if you do truly do it, why would anyone trust someone who who is being rude. I have had comments from people who have disagreed but were also polite. I find no reason for anyone to be rude and those who are shouldn't be trusted. You can get more by being nice. I hope you do well.

  • get lost i ben doing it 4 14 years

  • I sure wish that I had seen this video,prior to me sending Dan Palleschi $500.00 in T.P.P. cashgifting program. AKA Dan Palleschiscam artist................

  • I've done it before. Just need to be in a good system. Would I recommend it........all depends on the mindset of the person. But do your research for yourself and don't form your opinion from others. If it was that illegal these companies wouldn't call themselves "cash gifting companies". It would a different name. Just do your own research

  • irs.gov and search cash gifting.

  • NOY pyramid scheme it's ponzi scheme ! GO read the terms of service at every FED EX website and UPS website abouit what is allowed to be shipped and what is not allowed ! CASH in any way shape or form is NOT allowed !

    FOR gosh sakes people why pay up to 75 $ to send money to any one when all YOU need is a .45 cent stamp ! ONCE you put stamp on any thing NO one can open it but the reciver ! Also dont belive that legal BS about the IRS allows you to send cash to anyone in the usa !

  • Anyone dumb enough to believe in this cash gifting bullshit deserves to be taken. Morons.

  • Good Information  Always, If it souds too good to be true, it probably is not true3!

  • pyramid...do you know what a pyramid is? who is the ONE person at the top? the most i can criticize them with is claiming all the fees for website and other overhead.

    other than that...do you really thing that a person calls anything a 'scam' when he/she is receiving a return on time and investment-hell no.

    lol! wage workers are the worst...we don't understand shit outside of HOURLY PAY.

    a MATRIX or office gifting is a pyramid scheme...a person gets your money and gives it to ONE person.

  • This bitch would make a good toilet and that is legal...She needs to STFU and i believe she has moistened her lips with fresh bird droppings..

  • you go gurl!

    cash gifting is defined as a pyramid scheme using a varient of the 8 ball method

    and in the united states pyramid schemes are ellegal

    yup she's right!

    peace...
