When people will stop cheating Middle Class...?

I was invited for a meeting by one of my neighbours and told me that there is a surprise waiting for me. Meeting started and the people in the meeting were excited when the presenter gave a detailed speech.

The presenter was giving lecture on a "Chain System", wherein, i have to buy a particular product by paying a particular sum and i get 20% instant discount and if i introduce 3 more people, then i get 20% of the value of their purchase as well and when more and more people join this system, i being the 1st introducer gets more income without having to work.

So, he gave graphics and showed that without any efforts i will be getting Rs.55000 per month and the crowd is excited about it. A video was shown wherein one person claims that he has become a millionaire and he is only 29 and he has retired.

Seeing this some from the crowd paid Rs.4500 and applied for the product which was worth Rs.6000 and they even told me that they have saved Rs.1500 straightaway. Utter foolishness. The products contains, toothbrush, toothpaste, soaps, shaving cream, and other cosmetic items. For a normal family of 4 to 6, this will be their 1 year's consumption. I am not sure, why i have to pay Rs.4500 now for my 1 year's consumption and that too non-branded products.

Secondly, even assuming that i introduce 3 more people and i get 20% of their purchase worth, i am not sure, whether everybody will have Rs.4500 which is the minimum amount of purchase required in the scheme to pay and buy the products. How many middle class people can afford this.
Middle class normally wants to become rich and this is taken advantage by many people including fly-by-night Chitfund companies by those referred above.

Sick Mentality. People should realise that there is nothing called free meal and you can't become rich without making any efforts. Lest, GOD alone can save them.
