My family used to do that pirámide thing with neighbors and stuff and they always made money but mainly because it was done with people they knew and trusted. I'm not into that since you never 100% who you're dealing with.

Now, is that the same thing as "natilleras"?

Increible, la gente no aprende. En los últimos meses en Colombia varios de esos negocios han desaparecido de repente dejando a una cantidad de personas con su dinero perdido y los responsables no aperecen por ningún lado. Eso ha salido en todos los noticieros y la gente sigue dando papaya!.

A los colombianos les encanta el riesgo, será que lo llevamos en la sangre?

---

Well, it is "easy" money and they don't have to do anything for it... that is why so many people do it... EVERY single day, at ANY hour I see so many people outside of that "office", just waiting to be able to deposit money there... I think many know there are risks, but believe they will get money...

But I think that at some point, the office will disappear as suddenly as it opened...

These scams go from place to place in Colombia. They will pop up in small towns every once in a while. The first people to invest always get their big payment. Then everyone else in the town wants their easy money and invests their money. At that point, the scammers skip town. It is sad that people are so stupod as to invest what little money they have in these schemes.

However, they are seem everywhere. There was one that just got shut down in Texas that required people to invest $10,000.

Regardless of where it happens, it boils to down to people allowing greed, laziness and stupidity to overcome what little sense they might have had to begin with.

I had been invited. Not thanks. They say If I "invest" lets say USD 5000 I would get every month at least 10% and I could not retired my money after 6 months.

Fact is many people are making money and not only those recolecting but "investors".

There are to things to take into account when risking,

fear
greed

I have a hard time feeling sorry for these people. Like I said, they bring this on themselves as a result of their own greed and laziness.
