I've read and read and read about ways to make money online - and a lot of them seem to be multi-level-marketing sites and they all seem geared to get folks that are relatively new to the net and perhaps looking for a way out of their day jobs... I think they have almost become predatory

You could have made a profit, if you're early in the game. As long as you don't mind that people signing up after you lose their hard earned money, almost certainly. This program is a pyramidal scheme, a ponzi. It's not a flat out lie, so in other words it's not a scam of the worst kind.

If you think about it most major companies are set up like this also. there is a big company that makes product X, they sell to a distributor, who sells to their network of distributors, who sell to stores, who sell to customers, etc. - all one big pyramid. also, there are some "classic pyramid" sales companies out there, that are legit, where the person "above you" gets a cut of what you sell - like Mary Kay cosmetics and others. Insurance sales are like this also.

The one I'm referring to is hot air and illegal, like the website in the initial post.
