Hey girl! Have you heard of the blessing loom? 💕9:41
You gift $100 to the lady in the centre by e-Transfer. Then bring in 2 friends, they bring in 2, and when you move to the centre you get $800!9:42

Always check the recruits.

You pay $100, and your $800 only comes from new people you bring in, who then need their own new people. There's nothing being sold, so almost everyone who joins loses.

Always checkThe real oneThe scam
1Where it livesIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

A friend on Messenger, inviting you to a party.

A friend on Messenger, passing on a "blessing loom".

2What it asks you to doCheck firstDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

Come try some candles. No need to buy anything.

Send $100 by e-Transfer, then bring in 2 friends.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No money up front, no pressure.

"Turn $100 into $800", "spots fill fast".

RememberIf the money only comes from bringing in new people, it's a pyramid. Someone at the bottom always pays.
