<prompt> Human: You invest 100 dollars into the plan and then get 8 people to also invest 100 dollars. After you recruit 8 people you are paid out 700 dollars plus your 100. A lot of my friends are doing this and they wont listen to me when saying it is a pyramid scheme in its simplest form. Is there any way this could work? If so how? Someone please explain this to me!  <response>: Is there any way this could work?No. It falls apart pretty quickly as soon as someone isnt able to find 8 more people.
