Hi! Welcome to Pyramid Fun!"

Thanks. This should be fun.

"What is Pyramid Fun!?"

Can we all say it together? One... Two... Three... "Illegal Ponzi Scam!!!!!" Well now, you all did pretty good that time, but I really want to hear you sing it out next time. Pretend you're belting it out for a Marine Corps Drill Sergeant.

"Pyramid Fun! is a new traditional pyramid game."

New, traditional? Aren't those kinda self-contradictory?

"That means that we are original old-fashioned, serious pyramid game."

New, traditional, original old-fashioned. Wow, you are sure a lot of different things. Still a pyramid scam, though.

"You have the opportunity to earn a lot of money. The game is organized as followed:
- You have to buy a certificate. This certificate costs $250 + a administration fee of $50.
- You have to recruit two persons under you. These two persons have to recruit two persons each.
- When you have reached level ten you receive 1024 times your effort, that is $256000!! This money you will have received within 20 weeks, or 4.8 months! "

$250??? PLUS $50??? You're remarkably greedy, aren't you? I'm not even going to ask you WHO that other $50 goes to, because I think I can guess right up front.

"How is that possible?"

Well, of course, it isn't.

"When you have bought your certificate you have to find two recruits to join within to weeks. They have to find two new recruits within two weeks also. The maximum time of reaching level 10 is 20 weeks."

What if I don't? Do you come beat me up, or do you refund my money?

- "-What happens if you don't manage to recruit two persons, but only one or no one? When your two weeks period ends you loose the opportunity to recruit new persons. If you have recruited only one, you is still in the game, but you have only the opportunity to win half of the money, that is 512 times the effort = $128000. If you don't manage to recruit anyone, you won't receive any money, and loose your investment"

Oh, now I see. But you still get to keep my money, is that it? I understand. But doesn't that throw all the numbers way off, especially when I can only "recruit" half of the original binary tree you wanted me to? In other words, everything would be half of what I would have brought in to the guy above me (I mean, YOU). So your income is dependent upon MY actions, right?

"Why?
- Because time is the most important factor here. If we are strict with the two weeks limit, you have your money within 20 weeks. If we allow 6 weeks you won't get your money before 60 weeks. So it is very important to send your registration as soon as possible. Don't delay. If you want your money fast, you have to recruit fast, and tell your recruits the importance of fast action!"

Uh, wouldn't 60 weeks be an amazing time to get $256,000. I mean, that's a little over $51,000 a year, which is over 3 times the mean household income in the U.S. Shouldn't even that be a good enough goal for most?

"- How can I know which level I have reached? Send us mail or e-mail and you get free feedback regarding your status."

Uh, you mean that these people sign up without me even knowing about it or sending me the money? It all goes through you? Gosh, I hope you are trustworthy to handle all that cash. I have my own feelings on that, but I won't say anything here for fear of embarrassing your slimy, scamming, pathetic ass.

"- How can I register? Please send us a e-mail and you will receive a registration form. When we have got the registration and money, we will send you a certificate with your customer ID. It is important that your recruits put your ID on their registration forms."

Yes, just as it's important that you keep it all to yourself and only allow what information you want to give out to anyone to be released. Now, how would I know that I haven't gone and actually made that $256,000 in 10 months and you say I've only made $500? Huh? Explain that, please. You must think that I am as dumb as you are, which is pretty damn insulting, let me tell you.

"If you want to join us please ask for a registration form at getrichfast@bigfoot.com"

Figures that a scam spammer would use a dropbox email account and an anonymous remailer.
