Investment Plans On Net Set Off Alarm
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Locals have been advised to exercise extreme care when participating in. investment plans through the Internet, especially those that promise high returns of 200 per cent within 15 months, as they look suspiciously like a pyramid scheme.

A businessman made this observation after he was introduced by his friends to the plan. "I studied the scheme and found that the plan generates return by acquiring new investors.

"It is also based on their funds to pay the earlier investors."Eventually, there will not be enough returns to go around, and the scheme would unravel," he told the Bulletin.

He said that so far and since more than a year ago, the scheme has not gone bust yet and it has been able to pay accordingly, due to the large number of participants worldwide.

"As the number of investors gets bigger, the scheme needs a much bigger draw to be able to live up, to its promise. "However, as in other pyramid schemes, it would one day go bust if it cannot recruit enough new investors to pay the old ones," he added.

Apart from enabling investors to earn 200 per cent profit within 15 months, it also has fixed monthly returns, which make the total returns add up to 300 per cent after the capital is paid back within eight months.

The amount needed for investments is between US$] 00 and US$5million.

He advised Bruneians to invest in safe investment schemes instead, so that they would not regret it later. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
