Money Cloud scam perpetrated in southern Alberta

The Taber/Vauxhall RCMP are continuing to received complaints of a Pyramid Scheme that is taking place in the area and would like to remind the public to be careful when giving money in hopes of receiving more in return. The Pyramid Scheme is called Money Cloud and the money back return is at the expense of others.

• 1. If you are told you are give someone money in hopes of getting money back think of where that money is coming from and know that it is just a Hope of getting it back you may not get the money back you maybe actually loosing.
• 2. Just because your told that something is legal it doesn't always mean that it is.
• 3. If someone is avoiding your questions then there probably hiding something.
• 4. Don't always believe everything that is told to you because everything is not always what it seems.
• 5. Eventually the money is going to run out somewhere and there is going to be more people at the bottom then there are at the Top.

The best rule of thumb is that no one wants to give you something for nothing, and there is never a big easy pay out the money is always coming from somewhere else. IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT MOST LIKELY IS.
