Beware of what scam

Beware of what scam

As a reader of The Jakarta Post, I have noticed that Mr. Bill
Guerin's letters have frequently appeared in the "Your Letters"
column. At times, the contents gave me cause to become amazed at
the poor logic presented.

In his letter Beware of the old scam he has done it again. It
is very obvious he does not really know what he was writing
about. Yes, Future Strategies offers a money making scheme that
works. Just ask all these fortunate people who decided to
participate and patiently waited to reach the top position. That
bank account in Kelapa Gading must have belonged to a fortunate
person at the top position of the pyramid who should by now be in
a financially comfortable position.

Yes, they first spent US$120 (not $80) but within a week or so
were safely reimbursed by three clever (not silly) other people.

So, in fact, they did not have to invest a single dollar at
all. A great way to get rich? Yes, Mr. Guerin, a great way
indeed. Devastating for anyone in Indonesia investing in it? Not
at all. Obviously only those who can come up with $120 for a week
or so will take part. How does Mr. Guerin know that the number of
people likely to pay $120 (not $80) for this kind of certificate
is extremely low? Based on which of his surveys?

No, this is not a scam Mr. Guerin. Furthermore, to compare the
introduction of this scheme with flooding Indonesia with
pornography goes beyond my comprehension. It is such an absurd
statement. We don't need the scam you so often present through
this newspaper.
