MATHEMATICS behind GOLDQUEST…….. Or any other pyramidal business  


1st step- U register and Buy -- U have coin only company- 30000
2nd step- u bring two direct referrals-- You have coin only-Company has 90000
3rd step- they bring two referrals each--- U have coin and 1st cheque of 10,000 and company has 2,10,000
4th step- they bring two referrals each---U have Coin and 2nd Cheque of 10000 so total you have 20,000, persons who joined at step 2 have coin and 1st cheque of 10000, so total money in incentives paid is 40000 total and company has 4,50,000
5th step-they also bring two referrals each--- U have coin and cheques which when added to all u have already earned come to 40,000, persons joined at second step have coin and 20,000 each and people at step 3 get their first cheque of 10,000 and people at step 4 have coin only and company has 9,30,000
and here 7 members who have atleast some cheques but 24 people have nothing but just the coin
6th step 15 are earning but 48 have nothing
7th step 31 are earning but 96 have nothing but just coin
8th step 63 are earning but 192 have nothing.
9th step 31 have recovered money, 96 get little and 384 have nothing
and so on…
But always the no. who have only the coin is always much much more than the who have earned atleast some money.
And the people who have recovered money is just 31 when 384 have still to do it but to do that no. of those who have nothing will become 1286 people...

good thing we didn't invest all our money...

but huge amount was lost...

what to do yani....charge to experience...

the lady from that "company" (not GOLDQUEST) was very good enough to convince us...

Last year my wife lost not just the money but also the product because they had on purpose a wrong number of their database and could never reach her when the product supposedly arrived in Doha! later on we knew for friends that it actually does nothing for you, it is your mind my dear what really makes the miracle! In any case, in order to get it she should pay about USD 100 more for re-shipment! in their dreams! not just a pitty she truly wanted the disk for her parents but she mostly because wanted to contribute to a cause! They sold her the idea of this company as a benefactor of humankind... naive her I wish she had seen this before, please click on the link (and that was 2004!!)

The point is that nowadays they keep stealing shamelessly from people, maybe in Qatar most people can afford to lose money but in countries where life is harder, people have even committed suicide... Hopefully they could be stopped someday but as you know, these sort of companies survive or change names and go ahead destroying other people's life. BEWARE!

Happy to hear that atleast some of you already lost money.

 

Don't try to make money easier!

All are here to benifit themselves.

No one will make you profit without their profit..

So be aware not only in money chain, but on any business which is a shortcut to make money.

You can invest in some Gold or buying Gold Certificates if you need some way to invest.

money chain was a big thing in india few years back but then people started understanding it, thanks to newspapers.. they played a big role...

besides , companies like amways and all, introduced products in the market which are really unwanted... like so many beauty products and dental products..
