Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

One of the biggest telltale signs of a pyramid scheme is the emphasis on recruitment rather than the sale of products or services. In a pyramid scheme, the primary focus is on recruiting new participants who pay fees to join and are encouraged to recruit others to do the same. These schemes typically promise high returns or profits based solely on the recruitment effort, rather than the legitimate sale of products or services. The earnings for participants usually come from the fees paid by the new recruits, rather than from the actual sale of products or services to customers.
