Probest is financial scam

I'm relieved that Probest, a money game company, has now collapsed. A self-styled company carrying on a business said to be in the category of e-commerce or e-business multilevel marketing and led by, among others, a former journalist, Probest has, since January 2003, been unable to pay a bonus from the business proceeds as previously promised because, so it has claimed, the targets could not be reached.

It is a shame that a former journalist has been promoting Probest and persuading people to join it. He must have known that this was a scam.

It is now time that the government issued a specific regulation on this kind of business carried out by, for example, Probest, Promail, Danasonic (now revived in Serang) and many others.

If you are interested in finding out about the reality, just go to Jl. Gunung Sahari No. 25, Central Jakarta, where you can see for yourself how worried Probest members are that they cannot get their money back.
