I would like to bring your attention to a recently famous get-rich-quick scheme plaguing Malaysian Facebook users with the premise of ‘Login Facebook RM100 hari-hari’.

Victims of this scheme will be attracted by the using of the ‘tagging’ method and by invitations from fan pages/groups.

Facebook users are enticed by tag lines like – ‘You can make money by just logging into Facebook everyday – As easy as that’ or with a screen shot of graphics showing Maybank2U accounts with RM100 flowing in each day.

In every picture posted on Facebook, a lot of Malaysian users will be tagged with the hope that they will become the next victims.

After doing a little bit of research and investigation, I found out that the victims will have to register with a website. Users will have to create a login profile before they could view all the info regarding the scheme and should they agree with it, they will have to pay RM100 as the registration fee.

With such a low registration fee, users are said to be able to get all the ‘digital training materials’ from the website and at the same time, make money out of it.

What is weird about is that the website doesn’t focus on the digital products at all but they stress mainly on the ways of making money by using the website by showing graphs and diagrams on how the scheme works.

Based on the information that I got from the website, this scheme is actually none other than the famous type of pyramid scheme where the website/company is not really selling anything at all but merely making money straight from downliners’' registration fees.

Since such schemes similar to this one like the ancient Pakman Telo scheme, the Postal Money Order scheme or the internationally famous Bernard Madoff scheme (Ponzi scheme) were all declared illegal by a lot of governments, I highly suspect that this scheme is also illegal as there are absolutely no physical products being sold on the website.

I hope to bring the authority’s attention to this scheme as it is luring a lot more victims every single day.
