Q: I wanted to earn and bear my university and other expenses on my own so I was looking for online jobs. I came across a business named Forever Living Products. They give earnings by a pyramid scheme in which you have to recommend other people to join your business and become a part of your team and you will get paid. In this way you can earn a great deal of money.

As the growth rate in this business is very high, thus I found it to be a bit doubtful and I think some sort of interest is in involved in this business. Kindly guide me so that I can take my decision accordingly.
