i think Gulshan ji can justify your answer
These schemes are also known as 'changing caps'. We get many schemes of this kind from time to time. Actually these are chain schemes. You give some money and will recoup your investment and earn more by recruiting or rather enticing more members to scheme. Those last in the chain are losers to those who entered first.

Or Better known as MLM (multilevel marketing) one has to keep the chain going and as soon as the chain breaks you are left high and dry. The most profit goes to the promoter of the scheme. You are lucky if you got your money back.
I am not interested in such scheme. Guaranteed return may be less but no tension. Ponzi scheme has some risk to get back your original principle.
You may be cheated even when small return is offered. It is necessary to see where from returns will be paid to you. It is better to invest in banks, post office or with well known listed profit making companies.
Couple of my friends lost around 15 lakhs (combined) in speakasia thing.
They have vowed never to invest in such schemes again. Also always look at the fundamentals. A legitimate business can only pay you if it earns money in the first place.
A ponzi scheme always depends on new members money to pay old members. Once that money stops the whole scheme falls.

Yes many a times my father has suggested me this idea. He is against investments in shares or any bond. Presently I am investing my money in banks and getting good interests. This is better option. MIS is also good investment scheme.
