The schemies are ail similar in nature, targeting women from ail walks of life, with sep- arated, divorced and widowed women being recruited in the workplace, or by friends, rela- tives, and even through the Initemnet. Maniy schemecs operate under such names as "Womien Helping Womnen", "Ladies Helping Ladies", "The Cookie Club", "The Muffini Club",, "The Women's Support Group" and "The Business 'Womien's Investmient Group". In mnany cases, mnarried women are advised not to tel their husbands they are involved, and transactions are donc in cash on-ly, with promis- es of $40,000 return on a $5000 investment. Not only is this scheme illegal under the Criminal Code, with a maxi- mum penalty of up to 2 years in prison, but it is also not fea- sible to provide this return to everyone who becomes involved. Unfortunately some- one has to lose when the Pyramid expands, and collaps- es because of lack of numbers.
