Fraud Advisory

The Bermuda Police Service and the Department of Consumer Affairs are aware of a number of multi-level marketing schemes (also known as Pyramid schemes) currently being operated in Bermuda and advise caution to those considering participation.

Pyramid schemes are typically advertised as having the potential to make large amounts of money within a short time period, requiring little effort from the participant. The investor is usually required to pay an introductory or training fee and occasionally a product or service may be offered as a means to legitimize the operation.

Despite often giving the impression of legality, those involved may be committing offences under the Criminal Code and / or the Consumer Protection Act which is punishable with a maximum of 7 years imprisonment.

If you are aware of a pyramid scheme currently in operation, please contact the Financial Crime Unit on 295-0011 or Crime Stoppers on 800-8477.
