of high returns offered by entities running Multi-level Marketing/Chain Marketing/Pyramid
Structure Schemes," it said in a statement.
There have been a spurt of such schemes in the recent past while various regulators are
taking actions such entities.
Advising caution, RBI said investors should not fall prey to these kind of unscrupulous
entities as the pyramid structure mandates all members to enroll more members.
"Any break in the chain leads to the collapse of the pyramid, and the members lower down
in the pyramid are the ones that are affected the most," it added.
It said falling prey to such offers can result in direct financial losses and they, in
their own interest, should refrain from responding to such offers in any manner.
Further, RBI said that acceptance of money under Money Circulation/Multi-level
Marketing/Pyramid structures is a cognizable offence under the Prize Chit and Money

"Members of public coming across such offers should immediately lodge a complaint with
the state police," it added.
