Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mundial Moneybox (MMM), which collapsed months ago, has launched a weekly promotional stunt, aimed at wooing old and new members.

A letter displayed on the pages of participants of the scheme urges them to invite new members. Members must invite new participants and register them as referrals to qualify for the contest.

They have the opportunity to win cash prizes between N30,000 and N500,000, under an exercise the Ponzi scheme masterminds call, “Promo-Task Contest’

The letter reads in part: “MMM Nigeria launches Promo-Task Contest.

“Winners are selected based on the number of points received for completing promo-tasks. Whoever receives the biggest number of points becomes the winner.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) have warned Nigerians against participating in the scheme which they described as a “Ponzi” scheme.

The scheme has been mired in controversies after it placed a one-month freeze on all withdrawals from the scheme on December 13, 2016.

The scheme, however, made a comeback on January 13 and quickly placed a limit to the number of withdrawals from old-confirmed mavros (money), drawing wild condemnation from members and making many of them walk away
