Its Network time now:
As it is said that every one gets a chance in life, all the network companies got a chance. A Chance to attract people with some solid membership funda, but here now comes the collapse of entire Network system.
With Police announcing and starting catching of these Networkwalas, people have now begun realizing the mistake they have made. Each and every network operator had a very standard style of business. Firstly register a Pvt. Ltd. Firm and get a registration number from the competent authority. Once registered they announced fascinating plans to make people as member of their network system.
Once you become a member you were supposed to make 3/4/5 members more in order to get your chain earn for you. So if your chain has say 30 members you get your profit stake in form of Car/ Bike etc. What you conclude is that "I have just made 3/4/5 members and invested just Rs. 5000/ 7000/ 8000 and got a CAR… what more attraction or profit you will expect?
But here resides the main key of boom of this business. When you made 3/4/5 members to your chain, ultimately you enrolled/ forced them to be part of this network. The same cycle repeated with them also and this entire flow resulted a huge financial transaction.
Police announcement of getting root of entire case is adding to people's worry. Those who got benefit will also be enquired and so on.
