Newpro

A distinctive feature of this pyramid is legal thoughtfulness:

• The organizers remain completely anonymous. It is impossible to bring them to material or criminal liability for the organization of the financial pyramid. ^[one]
• NewPRO itself does not contain spamming features and therefore cannot be considered illegal or malicious. At the same time, curators will always recommend or provide additional software for automatic search of mail addresses and mailing to found addresses (or already prepared lists) of advertising letters with a call to join. In fact, these additional programs organize spam mailings, without which the active distribution of the program would be impossible. Letters come in from a few kilobytes to 5 megabytes in size (with an attached Word- format file, sometimes an audio presentation of 6 megabytes in mp3 format is added). It is easy to calculate that the total volume of emails sent for advertising this program is measured in terabytes . ^[2] The cost of pumping this traffic exceeds potential revenue. Active distributors may be held liable for this (spamming is a violation of the Russian Federal Law “On Advertising”, Article 18, Clause 1).
• The participants in the pyramid are not legally contributors . They are customers , customers of a software product with specified functionality. This makes it impossible to use state financial supervision mechanisms or to make any financial claims, since the program really has the agreed capabilities for generating keys and automatically searching for a higher level curator.
• It is strongly emphasized that the NewPRO program is a modernized and improved multi - level network marketing system for the distribution of a specific product - the NewPRO software product. However, this “product” cannot independently satisfy any human need. His only purpose is to build and control a pyramid to sell himself. Outside the pyramid, NewPRO is completely useless. In addition, the whole system theoretically cannot “work” without the constant attraction of new “buyers”. After all, only the money of beginners (first level) creates the opportunity to generate income at all subsequent levels. This is the fundamental difference between the NewPRO program and real network marketing systems that offer goods that have independent value for the consumer (cosmetics, insurance, household chemicals) and whose sales network can theoretically exist without attracting new customers (only through the sale of new batches of goods within the existing network structure).
• In the text of the advertising letter there is a phrase that " part of the customers, for various reasons, will leave this business " and this can significantly reduce the income of the promised millions of " You most likely will not earn ." The presence of this phrase allows us to consider that a potential participant in the pyramid was warned about the possibility of not receiving the expected income, which makes it impossible to qualify this proposal as fraud . It will always be possible to say that the losers simply incorrectly assessed their strength or did not know how to work, and they were warned about the possibility of not receiving income.

The standard text of the letter promises many times with little time and with Internet access the opportunity to get a lot of money. It is indicated that the NewPRO program is the latest information technology and takes into account the experience of the best projects of multilevel network marketing and electronic commerce. The autonomy of the program, the exclusion of the human factor and the possibility of manipulation are noted. It is indicated that this is a "legal opportunity to make money." This gives the impression that we are talking about one of the areas of business , with the usual business opportunity for profit.

Despite assurances of legality, the letter does not mention taxation anywhere. The given examples, recommendations, calculations, taxation do not show and do not provide.

Further in the letter the algorithm of actions of the potential participant is revealed.

For advertising, programs from various addresses send letters with offers of quick money to their mailboxes . The number of incoming messages is directly dependent on the number of participants involved. ^[3]

1. To activate the program, an individual key is required, which can be obtained for 99 rubles from your “curator”. The most important help from the curator is additional software to automatically search for mailing addresses and send them to them or by already prepared lists of advertising letters with a call to join. There are sites where the program and the first key can be obtained for free. But to obtain subsequent keys, you must definitely sell at least three individual first-level keys. This trick allows owners of a key of the second and higher levels to involve additional participants in their pyramid branch, increasing their income from subsequent sales.
2. It is necessary to attract at least three new participants for whom the program generates individual keys. It is assumed that for this it is enough to send out 20 thousand letters.
3. After attracting newcomers, the program will offer to purchase the second part for 199 rubles, and indicate the address of the “curator” of level 2. For payment it is supposed to use the funds received from the sale of individual keys of the first level.
4. After entering new keys, it becomes possible to generate your own keys of the second level. Their customers should be 9 customers (your first three customers will be attracted by three new customers each, who, after attracting their own three, will become buyers of second-level keys). Expected income 9 * 199 = 1791 rubles.
5. The cost of the third level is 499 rubles (27 orders), the fourth - 1099 (81), the fifth - 2499 (243), the sixth - 5299 (729), the seventh - 11 599 rubles. The seventh level is expected to provide 2187 orders.

It is assured that the secret formula is the guarantee of success, the essence of which is not explained.

The program independently monitors the chain of participants. If the “curator” does not respond to letters for several days, then the program will offer the address of another curator.

Quickly enough descriptions of the key structure appeared on the Internet that allow you to independently generate any number of keys of any level. ^[four]

A sales letter usually has the phrase:

You probably think: “Where will so many customers come from?” - Don’t worry. Every day in Russia at least 1000 new users are connected to the Internet !!! Enough for everyone!

When you get acquainted with the mechanism of the program, it seems that not many participants are required. When calculating the number of participants in the network, where one participant is ready to buy a third-level key (he sold 9 keys of the second level), at the lowest level there should be 27 participants, and the total number of the network reaches 40 people. ^[2] In order for one person to really receive the planned number of orders at the seventh level at the base of the network (at the first level) they must pay 2187 * 729 * 243 * 81 * 27 * 9 * 3 = 22 876 792 454 961 (almost 23 trillion ) person. The total number of the pyramid, taking into account all intermediate levels, should be even greater - over 30 trillion people. For comparison: the world's population is about 6.8 billion (6,790,062,216) people. ^[5]

There is a slightly simpler explanation for counting the number of participants. ^[6] . If a participant sells a key of the fourth level, then below it is a grid of four levels, and the lowest level buys the keys. But the participants of this lower level need to sell the keys of the third level to buy the key, that is, build a pyramid of three levels under themselves, where the keys will also be bought by the lower level, which needs its own two-level grid to buy, in which, in turn, the lower level need to sell the keys of the first level. As a result, instead of the four levels under consideration, the pyramid has 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 levels. Since at each level there is a tripling of participants, then to calculate the number of participants at the lowest level, you need to raise 3 to the power of the total number of levels. Here is a table of the total number of pyramid levels needed to sell the corresponding key:

• Fraud
• Financial pyramid
• Multilevel marketing
