Maybe these people were probably offered a different job at first, but when they got to the actual work, it turned out to be a scam. They probably can’t leave anymore because there’s a big syndicate behind it. The pattern seems familiar, kind of like the scenario with POGO here in the Philippines.
It gives me so much concern when I find out that most people still fall victims of scams and fraudsters left alone they are mrant to understand the cunny charades they throw at then but I think they are being manipulated and lured and at the same time they either loose what they've started so it's high tine one be wise enough to take charge over such matter.
Greediness and having mind of quick to rich always create problems like this its never new because things are happening around us for years and many are victims with culprits are also moving around us but no one can do anything due to this corrupt system.
Few weeks back here few big scams happen with few big names were also victim nothing positive happen, and now they are crying because culprits were having good minds, and they have done good preparation for this which give them benefit of doubt.
Always needs to be had good investigation before doing any investment or having anything which can give your financial problems in future because once you lost your money then its never coming back to your way.
