Gold coins weighing 71 kg worth over Rs.215 million ($5.37 million) were seized and five employees of a multinational multi-level marketing (MLM) company Quest Net were arrested for cheating, the police said Saturday.
The arrests and seizures were the follow-up of a complaint by an investor, Dinesh Kumar, based here who said the company cheated him of his investment of Rs.62,000 and threatened him with dire consequences if he persisted with his allegations.
Quest Net’s international parent company Gold Quest, however, denied the charges late evening and assured its investors in a press release that it was operating legally.
Quest Net’s director Pushpam Apala Naidu (45) and four employees were arrested for criminal breach of trust, cheating, wrongful restraint, conspiracy and criminal intimidation under the Prevention of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme Banning Act. They were remanded to police custody.
MATHEMATICS behind GOLDQUEST……..
The SCAM Revealed….Pure money laundering
1st step- U register and Buy --
U have coin only company- 30000
2nd step- U bring two direct referrals-- You have coin only-Company has 90000
3rd step- they bring two referrals each--- U have coin and 1st cheque of 10,000 and company has 2,10,000
4th step- they bring two refferals each---U have Coin and 2nd Cheque of 10000 so total you have 20,000, persons who joined at step 2 have coin and 1st cheque of 10000, so total money in incentives paid is 40000 total and company has 4,50,000
5th step-they also bring two refferrals each--- U have coin and cheques which when added to all U have already earned come to 40,000, persons joined at second step have coin and 20,000 each and people at step 3 get their first cheque of 10,000 and people at step 4 have coin only and company has 9,30,000
And here 7 members who have atleast some cheques but 24 people have nothing but just the coin
6th step 15 are earning but 48 have nothing
7th step 31 are earning but 96 have nothing but just coin
8th step 63 are earning but 192 have nothing.
9th step 31 have recovered money, 96 get little and 384 have nothing
And so on…
But always the no. Who have only the coin is always much much more than the who have earned atleast some money.
And the people who have recovered money is just 31 when 384 have still to do it but to do that no. Of those who have nothing will become 1286 people...
So always the ones at the bottom of the pyramid are the losers… And the only way left for them to move upwards in the pyramid(i.e.: earn money) is to lure others into the last layer. This is done after realizing that the last layer is always the losers. It is a sad fact that in the frenzy to get back the lost money relationships are often forgotten. It is often your close friends or family members who occupy the layer under you. Even then the chances that you will make money is very remote.
It is clear that the company, including the few people at the very top layer are making huge profits. The sad fact is that the money thus generated is not even being used in INDIA. It is flowing out of India. This is the same money that could very well be spent in strengthening our economy. If you buy a kg of rice not only are you investing in something that is useful to you, but also, you are indirectly supporting the family of some poor farmer somewhere.
STOP THIS SCAM…
BE THE CHANGE… .
