      Generally that’s they are the easiest to fall for it. Normally they are not thinking straight due to their struggles or just do not know the signs of the game being played. Most people hear massive returns and that’s it they are invested. It’s unfortunate especially when the people who are scammed generally trust the people but unfortunately they trust the wrong ones.
      I say people should always look up the thing these people pitch and look up the people who are pitching them these schemes. No way people who are rich will just give away their secrets to the common masses. Don’t fall for the picturesque life presented.

      I do not mean to be disrespectful, but I find the thought behind your sentiment to be somewhat flawed. It is similar to anyone successful in any discipline (business, sports for example) attributing their success to "god" (god in quotation marks, because people define it differently). I think people need to give themselves credit for what they have achieved, after all it is of your own volition. Would you also accredit the negative and neutral "acts" to a god ?
      A question I have for anyone I meet: Do you think yourself to be morally superior to someone of differing beliefs (bet it atheism, or of another religion) ?

      Legitimate investments grow slowly. People who work at investment companies MIGHT be another race or background than you. Years ago someone we grew up with sold a house. They rented an apartment and planed to build another house. A scammer convinced them to invest their money in a fast investment plan. It was awful because the scammer ran off with a lot of money from several people.

He really thought he was about to make tons of money lol. His proof was a fake pay stub he showed people that he made 2k in a week. I’m like bro it’s a piece of paper, anyone can print this out!

You’re less likely to be accepted by a job if you don’t have a western name for example (why do you think that is)?

Of course plenty of this is how "insert other racial group" keeps there money in the community was going on. The person that invited me, has since been exposed. Not as a bad person, but as someone falling into the entrepreneur - Tee Shirt business, Real estate agent, investor Loop.

    this almost looks like what Jamaicans call partner draw....except everyone knows exactly when they would get the draw (when it's their turn to get the total pot). I don't understand that blessing loom board at ALL but at least with partner, you throw in your money every month and you'll get the pot one month. Like a kinda savings? Idek how money works
    Eta: now that I've studied that blessing loom board it's awful
    Eta2: I'm so wrong, partner draw is nothing like this smh

      Yea it’s nothing like Jamaican partner draw. The blessing schemes are straight up scams where in order for someone to make money others have to lose money. partner draw is more like a interest free loan that you pay back over time.

      Correct if I am wrong. If you have 10 people participating and every month 1 person gets the pot, wouldn't the last person just be getting the put in the previous 10 months.

    Great video... Very detailed. I can't believe ppl do stuff like this. Them, casual laugh in front of a camera while saying, "You'll get your money back!" She was probably laughing because she knew they never would get their money back.

    A family member tried to get us involved in something similar. Glad we all knew it was a scam.

    Should have known it was a scam just on the word " blessing". They played on the black communities connection with religion.

    The fact that black people start using terms like “generational wealth” while having the lowest net worth, education, employment figures told me this was madness/scheme.

    I feel sorry for the victims, but most of all, I feel sorry for the people who let money control them just to live lavishly.
