The police have not yet received any reports and have not started any preliminary investigation, but have been told through contacts that the phenomenon has been talked about for some time.
– The reason we are reacting so strongly now is because it is aimed at young people via social media, says Ulrika Helgemo, acting group manager for the fraud group.
Pyramid game
Pyramid game goes on that all participants enter with a bet and make a percentage profit by recruiting new participants. The more participants who join, the more must be recruited.
– You always have to recruit more people, if you fail, the whole pyramid collapses and then you lose all your money. But we don’t know if this is actually happening yet, says Ulrika Helgemo.
Police: be careful
The police urge young people and parents to be attentive and careful with where they choose to invest their money.
– Network selling in itself is not illegal, but if it turns into a pyramid scheme, it is illegal, plus you can lose a lot of money.
