If it's too good to be true, it probably ain't........... There's your guideline!

The main clue that something is a pyramid scheme is that you are paying or being paid but getting or giving nothing of value in return. The main purpose of the pyramid is to bring new members in for a fee. The legal form of pyramid, multi-level marketing, has a main point of selling something.

Not of which I am aware, but if you care to describe the scheme in this forum, I am sure many can identify one easily.
