Pay $1, Refer 9 People and Earn $41,163,432.75, Can This Be?
The $1 Matix Club supposedly allows to to make $41,163,432.75 from just paying $1 and referring 9 people. Can this really be true? Well of course not! See why this system and many other similar systems always fail to deliver for the vast majority of it’s members. This particular system costs just $1, but the principle is the same as many similar systems where most members stand to lose a lot more money.
The system relies on the following actually happening to earn $41,163,432.75:
If you refer only 9 people and each of your Direct and indirect referrals also refers 9 people each, your earnings will add up to
| Level | Amount | People | Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0.25 | 9 | $2.25 |
| 2 | $0.10 | 81 | $8.10 |
| 3 | $0.05 | 729 | $36.45 |
| 4 | $0.05 | 6561 | $328.05 |
| 5 | $0.05 | 59049 | $2,952.45 |
| 6 | $0.05 | 531441 | $26,572.05 |
| 7 | $0.05 | 4782969 | $239,148.45 |
| 8 | $0.05 | 43046721 | $2,152,336.05 |
| 9 | $0.10 | 387420489 | $38,742,048.90 |
(This totals up to $41,163,432.75)
Why the system doesn’t work
The only product is the system itself:
Avoid any scheme where the main product you are selling is the scheme itself no matter what the membership price happens to be. This means that the scheme is purely an income redistribution system and the person at the very top (the owner) will make a large proportion of the money. Most people will always be at the bottom of the tree, making it a pyramid scheme and these are now illegal in most reputable countries around the world. Eventually the system will become saturated, leaving most people at the bottom permanently who will all lose. Some pyramid schemes are these days being disguised using increasingly clever techniques and sometimes underneath complex algorithms to redistribute the income which is designed to confuse, a matrix scheme is an example of a pyramid scheme in disguise, but with all schemes without a genuine product, most members ultimately lose while a few people at the top gain including the biggest winner which is always the owner of the scheme. Also watch out for pyramid schemes that pretend to have a genuine product which are sometimes Ebooks, often the product is an excuse not to be called a pyramid scheme and the main product is still the scheme itself.
Not many of your referrals will get referrals in reality:
The system quotes ridiculous referral estimates that will never ever happen in the real world. If you are lucky enough not to be in the majority at the bottom of the pyramid and you do get referrals, from my experience you will find that the majority of your referrals don’t get any referrals at all, hence stopping your earnings on the 1st level. To say that all 9 referrals will get 9 referrals and that all those will get 9 referrals and so on 9 levels deep is as unlikely as winning the main lottery jackpot 2 weeks running with exactly the same numbers, it just won’t happen and you’d have to be very high up on the pyramid too, so to use these figures as a genuine possibility is a total scam in my opinion. I have seen hundreds of schemes using similar ridiculous and damn right impossible estimates as a method to sell membership.
Why do so many people say this scheme is brilliant?
The simple answer is that members need to sell you the scheme itself in order to have a chance at being one of the lucky few that actually make money at the expense of the majority who lose. You will read good reviews all over the place saying that it’s the best scheme they ever joined, all with their affiliate link attached. The same is true of most pyramid schemes and similar, but don’t believe anyone with an affiliate link attached unless they are from a known and trusted source.
But it’s only $1, there’s nothing much to lose is there?
This is the one thing that really sells the $1 Matrix Club because most people believe that $1 isn’t much to lose and gamble. Because it’s $1, the $1 Matrix Club is likely to get more members than more expensive schemes. The owner of the scheme will probably make as much or more than more expensive schemes as a lot more members will lose less, but the principle is the same and most members will definitely always be at the bottom of the pyramid and will lose when it becomes saturated. You may only lose $1, but you still lose and pay your little bit to make the owner and the few lucky ones at the top money. You potentially also waste a lot of time and possibly money advertising the scheme to other unfortunate people who are even more likely to lose out as they are even lower on the pyramid than yourself. I personally can’t recommend or promote something that I don’t believe in myself as it would make me feel guilty, I wish more people felt this way as it would make the Internet a much better and more trusting place. Also remember if no-one joined these awful schemes they would cease to exist, please don’t support them even if it’s only $1 to join as lots of $1’s can mount up to $Thousands for the owner.
Who really wins?
The person who always wins is the owner and he/she will often run lots of similar schemes at the same time and when each one becomes saturated, they will simply replace it with a new scheme. A small minority of people will also gain varying smaller amounts at the expense of the many and they will have to sell extremely hard to achieve this. The owner sits at the top and watches all the people below advertising making him/her a potential fortune. All the owner has to do is get the system rolling with some initial advertising, then he/she can just sit and watch other people’s money come rolling in.

I choose not to link to this pyramid scheme directly from my website, if you would like to know more or if you would like to go against my advise and join, please click here to search Google. There are many duplicate websites set-up by affiliates, all desperate to sell the scheme, some appear to charge $2 including a $1 charge for Paypal.

Remember – A matrix scheme is a more complex pyramid scheme (sometimes designed to confuse) where the majority of members lose to the very few at the top of the matrix in the same way as a pyramid scheme. Avoid ALL schemes where the main income going in is from people paying for the scheme itself. Watch out of excuses for products that are designed to fool you or get around the law.
AVOID MATRIX SCHEMES & PYRAMID SCHEMES LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Another interesting so called money making opportunity is The Berry Tree, they ‘appear’ to have a product, but in my opinion it’s just an excuse to cover up the main business which is a pyramid scheme that is doomed to fail for the vast majority of people. Before joining this, please read http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/289/RipOff0289597.htm at Rip-off Report or search for “The Berry Tree scam” on Google or another major search engine. If you are unsure about any money making scheme, searching for it with the word “scam” is a good place to start your research into whether the system is genuine or works. Remember there will always be plenty of people recommending pyramid schemes or similar often saying they are amazing as they need to sell the system itself to be one of the few people who do make money at the expense of the many. These few people at the top probably are happy with the system while unfortunately most people aren’t.
