2018 was the year of the pyramid - The Architect's Newspaper

Image
Plenty of distinctive projects were announced or completed in 2018, but at The Architect's Newspaper , no form so thoroughly captures our imagination as much as the pyramid. The primitive shape came up again and again in our reporting, and, acknowledging its (maybe Illuminati-masterminded) importance, we've collected the top pyramid stories of the year for easy consumption. January saw a clash of the titans play out on Facebook, as the Socially condensed fully-built enviromemes (SCFBE) page pitted some of history's most famous pyramids against each other for the title of world's greatest. Sixteen pyramids were paired off and users voted to eliminate one until only the strongest remained. Ever wonder if the Tyrell Corporation headquarters from Blade Runner  is superior to BIG's Via 57 West? Could the Bass Pro Shop at the Pyramid in Memphis beat the Great Pyramid of Giza in a fight? In April, the Tyrell Corporation headquarters squared off against North Kore

Illegal pyramid schemes are on the rise during the pandemic - The Washington Post

It's hard not to be sold on the altruistic and cultural backstory of the sou-sou, also known as "Susu," "blessing loom" or "gifting circle." Promoters pitch the sou-sou as a common practice among Caribbean and African immigrants as a way to help their businesses grow. Briscoe was told she would be helping other Black folks, some of whom may have lost their jobs because of the coronavirus. "It seemed like it was legal," said the Maryland resident, who reached out to me as part of her due diligence research. "I didn't want to bring anybody in unless I knew for sure, because I didn't want anybody to lose their money." For the past several weeks, members of my church, friends, neighbors and readers have asked me about the legitimacy of a "sou-sou" or similar schemes, in which they are promised that if they put up $100 in some cases, or $500 in others, in a month or two they would get a return eight times

Savings Plan or Pyramid Scheme? - Searchlight Newspaper

Image
Posted on September 4, 2020 Posted on September 4, 2020 CURTIS WILLIAMS by Bria King What if you could turn US$500 to US$4000 in four weeks? This is the promise being made by at least one "Family and Friends Saving Plan" programme currently being run in St Vincent and the Grenadines. And while some Vincentians are genuinely attracted by what appears to be an opportunity to increase their wealth in what could be considered difficult financial times, many others are questioning this plan and have termed it a pyramid scheme. Under the Family and Friends Saving Plan, an individual joins with US$500 (EC$1360) and recruits two additional persons. Using the basis of what is referred to as a "flower concept", those two additional persons also recruit two persons each, thereby expanding the flower. And all persons within the flower have the potential to receive US$4000 (EC$10,880) at the end of four weeks. "When people are running their h

Old Pyramid Schemes are Back to Take Your Money - NBC 7 San Diego

Millions of people are looking for ways to earn money, and more people are falling for pyramid schemes. These schemes usually ask you to pay a fee, but promise a big payout if you can recruit other people to pay in as well. "Con men never let a good crisis go to waste," said San Diego's Deputy District Attorney Hector Jimenez. "Nothing is more believable than what you want to hear." Pyramid schemes often gain popularity because they do work for the few people at the top. A popular one that NBC 7 Responds was told about is known as "Blessing Loom" or a "Loom Circle." Several viewers have seen their friends making social media posts asking people to join. The most common form of the "Loom Circle" scheme asks people to pay $100 to put their name on the circle, with the founding member's name in the center. Once the circle is full, the founder takes the $800 and then the other people start their own circles asking people to pa

Beware of New Pyramid Schemes on Popular Social Media Sites - NBC 10 Philadelphia

It's the latest version of an age-old scheme. One person invests $150, recruits 14 other people into the group and then walks away with $1,200. Each member of the group works their way to the big prize by recruiting more members, and so on. Sound familiar? "This is a classic pyramid scheme, and we've been seeing pyramid schemes for centuries," Rob D'Ovidio, associate professor of criminology and justice studies at Drexel University, told NBC10. The difference with this particular scheme is that it relies on social media and other popular smartphone apps. Participants are paid via Venmo or Paypal and recruit members using Instagram and Facebook. "It's a lot simpler nowadays than in the past where I had to send out physical letters to people to get involved," D'Ovidio said. A similar pyramid scheme was making the rounds on Snapchat at the end of last year. This one required participants to send a one-time joining fee using Snapcash. In

3 steps to take in your 20s to make sure you see retirement - MarketWatch

If I were Marty McFly from "Back to the Future," I would travel back and warn everyone against borrowing money from their future selves. Does that sound crazy? Well, financial companies, the Federal Reserve, banks, and brokers all claim that they act in your best interests, yet your retirement statements prove otherwise. We are seeing the deepest gap ever between the haves and have-nots with savings erosion through COVID-19, a devastating recession, and lack of government support that has left people wondering who is serving their needs. Read: This bitcoin fund just went up over 1,000%. Beware The lack of real interest in investing in the future by younger generations is due to the confusion caused in trying to put away for tomorrow by these traditional financial channels. Interest rates are near 0% from banks; there's no return to be had on bonds, all while things like rent, tuition cost keep climbing faster than the rate of inflation. There are hopeful solutio
