Detective Assistant Inspector Tom Muleya, a member of the CID Commercial Crimes Division and the National Cyber Security Awareness Taskforce in Zimbabwe, has expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of pyramid scams despite repeated warnings from law enforcement and regulatory authorities. In July 2023, the country witnessed one of the largest pyramid scams in history, known as E-Creator, which resulted in substantial financial losses for numerous participants.
Muleya emphasises that pyramid scams are being presented in various attractive and deceptive forms, making them all the more enticing. Despite the proactive measures taken by the police to alert the public earlier in the year, many individuals have chosen to disregard these warnings, leading to a rising number of victims. More than 550 people have already fallen prey to the scam, with additional reports still coming in.
According to Muleya, the question that arises is: why do people continue to fall for pyramid scams despite being educated and warned about their dangers? He says the persistence of pyramid scams stems from a combination of factors, including misconceptions about law enforcement’s intentions, gullibility, greediness, ignorance, deliberate violation of the law, the influence of social media, and the exploitation of individuals benefiting from the fraud. He says:
<blockquote>
One of reason is that people think the police does not want them to make money and realise profits.
In other ways people give a deaf ear to the free education and warning on crime awareness because they view and think the police are interfering with their opportunity to make huge profits .
The other reason is gullibility or greediness. Elwyn Brooks White once said, “People are very gullible. They will believe anything they see in print.”
Let me also try to go biblical because I believe everything that happens under the sun is already in the Bible.
It said in the book of 1Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil [crime]: which while some coveted after [gullibility], they have erred from faith [business principles], and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” [became victims due to own actions], emphasis in brackets mine.
So you see, gullibility which is that oversized ego or desire for money is reason victims abound.
Some people become victims due to ignorance, which may be ignorance to law, or ignorance as to nature of business. People then take chances even though they may be evident manifestation of risk or danger of losing out, in the purported “make quick money investment”.
On another hand, it is not even ignorance but deliberate violation of law. People know the scheme is illegally yet they continue to take part.
Social media evades people’s reasoning. The fact that something is advertised on social media, people fall for it. Even the smallest lie is greatly valued on social media.
The other reason is due to the fact that certain individuals who are used as bait in pyramid fraud actually get some benefits. So their testimony is used to convince more others who are then scammed.
</blockquote>
Muleya says to combat these scams effectively, it is crucial for individuals to actively participate in the fight against fraud and cybercrimes, creating a safe and crime-free environment in Zimbabwe.

Detective Muleya Concerned About Increasing Pyramid Scams Despite Repeated Warnings

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has warned members of the public against investing in Ponzi and Pyramid schemes.
This follows the arrest of a Chinese national, Zhao Jiaotong, believed to be the brains behind E-Creator, a Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of Zimbabweans of their hard-earned cash.
On Thursday, 13 July, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Senior Staff Officer (Press and Public Relations), Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed Zhao’s arrest on fraud allegations.
In a statement issued on Friday, 14 July, FIU said it had noted with concern the proliferation of Ponzi and Pyramid schemes in Zimbabwe. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) notes with concern the proliferation of Ponzi and Pyramid schemes in the country.
These schemes come in various forms and guises, designed to mask their fraudulent nature and lure people into parting with their hard-earned money.
The schemes share certain common characteristics which members of the public are advised to look out for.
Under such schemes, people are typically asked to invest a sum of money and are promised unrealistic returns/profits, either without being asked to do anything else (Ponzi schemes) or being required to actively recruit new members/investors (pyramid schemes).
In either case, funds from new investors/recruits are used to pay the earlier investors as well as the originators of the scheme.
Sooner or later, the scheme will run out of new investors/recruits and inevitably collapses, with the majority of the investors unable to recover their funds.
As such schemes are illegal and unregulated, it is usually difficult for victims to get satisfactory recourse to recover their money.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has in the past issued warnings to the public against investing in such schemes.
In light of a recent surge in the activities of such schemes, the FIU wishes to reiterate the warnings.
Members of the public are urged to be wary of such fraudulent schemes and, in particular, to look out for the following red flags:
<ul>
<li>Any entity inviting investments when they are not a registered or regulated financial service provider; or</li>
<li>Promises of super profits/returns that cannot conceivably be earned through known legitimate economic activities; or</li>
<li>Investment schemes that predominately exist on WhatsApp groups and similar social media platforms but have little or no physical visibility in the form of permanent offices.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator pays returns to its investors from their own money or from the money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned.
The scheme relies on attracting new investors and using their investments to provide returns to earlier investors.
The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi, an Italian-born swindler who became notorious in the early 20th century for running such a scheme.
Ponzi promised investors high returns on investments in international postal reply coupons, but he was actually using the money from new investors to pay off earlier investors.
In a pyramid scheme, participants make money primarily by recruiting new members who make payments to those above them in the pyramid structure.
The structure of a pyramid scheme resembles a pyramid, where the initial recruiter sits at the top and recruits a level of individuals below them.
Each person recruited is then encouraged to recruit more people, forming subsequent levels beneath them.
As the pyramid grows, each level becomes larger, and participants are promised increasing rewards as they move up the pyramid.
However, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and eventually collapse. The recruitment of new members becomes difficult, and those at the bottom of the pyramid are unable to find enough recruits to recover their initial investment.
Only a small number of people at the top benefit from the scheme, while the majority of participants lose their money.
