Rumors of my attendance at these meetings demonstrates how far these swindlers will go to pull others into their scheme. Ohio consumers should know that this scam is too good to be true. The consumer also must personally recruit two others to join. As with all pyramids, compensation is tied to others joining. In Ohio, there is an Anti-Pyramid Sales Act which prohibits operating a pyramid sales plan.
Most states have similar laws.
Montgomery wants people to know that they don't have to actually receive money directly to break the law. Anyone promoting or operating a pyramid scheme may be charged with a crime. Violators also may be subject to civil prosecution by the Attorney General's Office.
