Despite the widespread knowledge about Ponzi scams, the number of people who still falls into such "business" can still be quite alarming and saddening. I mean conference are already held in order to raise awareness, yet a lot are still fooled by this scheme. When will people ever learn to protect themselves and believe that when something is too good to be true, the chances of it being real is so low. I just hope that people would be more vigilant in putting their money into such ventures that are shady. At the end of the day, you can be the only one to protect yourself so educate yourself and be aware before doing an action.
