How to prevent being cheated into pyramid schemes?

To prevent being cheated into pyramid schemes, we should put an end to "getting rich overnight" ideologically, make friends carefully, don't "pour out your heart" in everything, and be wary of companies with unknown or suspicious address information.

1, ideologically put an end to "getting rich overnight"

There is no such thing as getting rich overnight, especially for young people who have just graduated and entered the society. They have no skills and experience, can't find a job, or face ordinary jobs, and they think their wages are low. They fantasize that one day they will be lucky, make a lot of money, and have food and clothing all their lives. This idea is partly due to laziness and the desire to get something for nothing.

There is nothing so easy to get in the world. At any time, we must firmly believe that there is no reward for giving, but there is definitely no reward for not giving, and opportunistic things are not allowed.

2. Be careful when making friends

With the development of the Internet, many people can meet many strange friends online without leaving home, and various online dating platforms are increasingly rampant. It seems that you can meet friends all over the world in one day, but at the same time, this convenient way also has many potential hazards.

In this way, some criminals cheat you of the trust you deserve, or gather for two or three times to let you relax your vigilance, and then instill it in you slowly, or introduce MLM knowledge, fantasizing that you will get rich together, and you may fall into the trap step by step, and you will regret it when you find out. Some even recall that the so-called friend may not even know his real family situation.

3. Beware of unknown address information or suspicious companies.

Quite a few MLM organizations recruit members through company recruitment. However, if they are asked to come to the door for an interview, but the company address is not shown in detail, and the number is a mobile phone number, or in a relatively secret place such as a remote alley, especially if there is no company name or listing outside, they should be especially careful. They would rather give up the job than rush forward.

Some of them will make special requests, asking candidates to go to specific places and wait for their staff to pick them up. They also said that their address was not easy to find, which was also suspicious. If it is inconvenient for a company/manufacturer to give the interviewer an address, it is conceivable that they must be hiding something.

Learn to save yourself if you accidentally fall into pyramid schemes;

1. Remember the address and wait for the alarm.

When you are in a strange place, a stranger, and your family knows that you are missing, but they don't know your specific address, they must be very anxious. It's no use calling the police to save you. Therefore, we must first master our specific location, building number, house number and so on. Without these, we can see if there are any landmark buildings nearby and secretly write down the names of restaurants and shopping malls.

If you can send a text message or make a phone call, you can secretly call the police yourself, or tell your relatives or friends to help you call the police. If you can't directly tell your relatives or friends that you are in danger, you can say some secret words, such as asking friends to say hello to their deceased relatives.

2. Run away on the way to class.

Some MLM organizations have some outdoor activities every day, and there are relatively few people accompanying them in this process, which is easy to escape. And in public, it is easy to ask for help from others. After going out, you should seize the opportunity to run quickly. When passing through some organs, enterprises and institutions, you should run over to ask security guards or staff for help. Write a distress note in advance, pretend to buy something, and give it to the other party together with the money, so that the other party can help the police; Run to a crowded place and shout for help from passers-by.

3. Cheat trust and find opportunities to escape.

If you really can't leave, you should look carefully. In the case of "the enemy is strong and we are weak", we must think of soft methods, disguise, cheat their trust, let them relax their vigilance, and then look for opportunities to escape.
