Crime Stoppers Police Target Pyramid Schemes Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police arc asking the public to be on guard for several illegal pyramid schemes that arc operating in Durham Region and other parts of the province. The illegal pyramid schemes are all similar in nature, targeting targeting women from all walks of life. They are recruited in the work place, by friends and relatives as well as the Internet. Approximately 20 such schemes are operating under such names as "Women Helping Women", "Ladies Helping Ladies", "The Cookie Club", "The Muffin Club", "The Women's Support Group", and "The Business Women's Group". Women who become involved with a group are required to invest $5000 in cash with promises of a $40,000 return of their initial investment. Involvement is illegal under the provisions of the Criminal Code and carries a maximum penalty of up to 2 years. The pyramids quickly fall apart when there are not enough members recruited. Everyone then becomes a loser.
