What is a Ponzi Scheme?

A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors, rather than from profit earned. This unsustainable model relies on constantly recruiting new investors to provide returns to earlier investors, eventually collapsing when the influx of new investors dwindles.

Why New Investors Mistake Ponzi Schemes for Superior Investments
 
New investors often fall prey to Ponzi schemes due to a lack of understanding of legitimate investment strategies and the promise of unusually high returns. These schemes are designed to deceive, using convincing marketing materials and fake testimonials to build credibility.
