In the first half of the 90s, the MMM financial pyramid ruined millions of Russians who believed Sergei Mavrodi and invested millions of rubles in the company. In 2011, the same Mavrodi created the same MMM-2011 and began an advertising campaign to raise funds. And many again believed him …
Instructions
Step 1
In order not to fall for the bait of MMM, first of all, improve your financial literacy. Follow the activities of firms like her, compare their offers with offers on financial deposits from banks that are more or less highly reliable. Scammers usually attract attention with their high return on investment. In fact, depositors cannot get back even a small part of the money deposited.
Step 2
Remember that the average market rate of return on a bank deposit is a sensible investment. Anything above is a risky investment. The risk is that you will receive neither income nor return. And the state is unlikely to be able to give you any guarantees. Very high interest rates on deposits are pure fraud. The risk is much higher than in a casino.
Step 3
Tell your family, friends and relatives about the activities of the MMM financial pyramid. It is not necessary to conduct agitational activities, but it is worth mentioning in a conversation on occasion. It is quite possible that next time they will warn you against the actions of other scammers like MMM.
Step 4
Pay attention to the activities of MMM and Mavrodi. The Belarusian branch of the MMM was recognized as a financial pyramid and closed. In Moscow, MMM offices also have problems with law enforcement agencies. And this is only in the first year of the existence of MMM-2011.
Step 5
If you or someone you know has already invested in MMM, do not hesitate to contact law enforcement agencies and other government agencies at the first problems with the return of the money deposited. Until there are statements from the victims, the activities to suppress the work of financial pyramids for law enforcement officers is difficult.
Step 6
The peculiarity of the functioning of financial pyramids, which is MMM, is the need to attract more and more new depositors in order to be able to support the company's activities with their money, pay salaries to employees and interest to the first depositors. There is only one conclusion: the more popular the financial pyramid becomes, the more participants it has, the closer it is to collapse.
