Unless it is a very large scheme, the FBI is not going to bother with it. You can try your local police first. I got one shut down that was using Pay Pal once after reporting it to their fraud team.
Law Enforcement usually only gets involved with they have victims and to have a victim you have to lose money. It is part of the reason that they things continue to thrive.
Your state attorney general's office may also be able to help.

Yes. Local Police Department or County Sheriff. If it's a wide-spread scheme that the F.B.I. would have an interest in, your local agency will know. Start with the locals.

Tell your local cops. If they need to bring in the FBI, they will.

I would be on the phone to the police. These scams rob thousands of dollars from people.

If it is an actual pyramid scheme, yes.
Call your police department, give them the info you were given.
If it is illegal, they'll take care of it.
If it's not illegal, there's nothing they can do. All you can do is tell your friend (or whomever) "no thanks"...

Yes it is illegal and the only person who makes money is the person at the top.
