I GOT YOU EXACTLY WHERE I WANTED YOU TO BE - Quick Note about Get Rich Quick Scheme - by Nik Zafri

I GOT YOU EXACTLY WHERE I WANTED YOU TO BE!


(PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES - HOW THEY BRAINWASH VICTIMS ESPECIALLY WHEN A BIG CELEBRATION IS AROUND THE CORNER)
Everytime a big celebration is around the corner - Hari Raya (Eidulfitr especially), Deepavali, CNY and Christmas, suddenly the Get Rich Quick (GRQ) /Ponzi schemes (PS) will also make their appearances 'big time'. 

Those days - GRQ disguised as MLM, nowadays it's common to see the big words such as "FOREX", "Stock Market" etc. being used to entice potential victims.

The targets are the medium and low income groups who almost have similar thinking patterns.



"I've not enough money or I don't have much money or I don't have any money"

"I prayed or wish to become rich so that I can help others in need, buy new clothes for my family, return to my hometown in nice cars, have so much cash in my pocket, settle all outstanding debts (overheads, bills etc)"

These kind of thinking patterns are exactly what the GRQ/PS is looking for and many of these poor victims started thinking :

a) Wow, I think "my prayers have been answered"

b) Now I am going to be rich

c) Thank you so much Mr. GRQ/PS for helping me, bless you
d) Mr. GRQ/PS, you've made my life happy

Then, the poor victims started to invest money/savings into the GRQ/PS accounts. They get their 'minimal return' after a week or so (which is actually taken from their own money), and they start to invest more.

What surprises me most is that, people can be blinded easily - many purposely ignore to check the validity of such schemes even if they feel "something is not right", they purposely do not want to read other people's experience being swindled. (positive thinking in the wrong way)

All they say is "I want to be rich....I don't care how...I'm desperate...who are you to tell me?"
