  Introduction - From the Author.. 

     At some point in your life, you may have come across,  read about, or participated in what is usually called a "Triangle or Pyramid Scam." When I think back about my personal experience back in the late 90's (I was in 8th Grade) it went something like this. 

      It was a simple document that you downloaded from the Internet (technically an information product but definitely a scam). It was usually only about 3-5 pages with a paragraph of instructions at the top and then the rest of the document was a long list of names and their corresponding addresses from all over the United States in numerical order. 

The instructions read:

To join this "Pyramid Lottery Club" , mail $5.00 to the name at the very top of this list [number 1] and then add your full name and mailing address to the bottom of this document and upload it back to the website/s you downloaded it from, email it to every contact you have, and finally print and mail as many copies of this list/document (updated with your name and address of course) to as many of your friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and family as you have an address for.

   If everyone who receives and reads this document/list mails $5.00 in cash to the name at the top and then adds their name to the bottom and continues forwarding this document, we will all be rich and receive X amount of money for free in the mail! 

   The way it was written and the nature of this document was very intriguing and after reading and randomly finding this magical document in your hands, you wanted to believe it really worked and would really make you rich so bad you would actually of checked to see if you had a $5.00 in your possession before taking some time to debate whether this was a scam or really a scam. 

   The funny thing is, being that I was in 8th grade and it was the late nineties (and before the big public meltdown and life imprisonment of practitioners like Bernie, etc), I decided out of curiosity to try it out and see what happened.

    There was a blurb after the instructions and before the long list of names about, "Paying it Forward", "Do Good for the World", "Help Others", and "Practice Good Karma." I think that's what sold me; with my innate determination at a young age to be a good person and do good things for others, I pulled out my lunch money and followed it commands.

Thank you for reading,
