			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I normally don&#8217;t warn people about what should be obvious scams, but our neighborhood has been hit hard with &#8220;iJango! iJango! iJango!&#8221;. Basically, it&#8217;s another multi-level marketing scam.</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span>If you get queried by friends or family, visit one of the various <a href="http://www.goinango.com/">iJango sites</a> then take a look at <a href="http://www.clicksniper.com/ijango-scam-cameron-sharpe/">this article</a> that exposes one of the main people behind this scheme. Make sure you visit a couple other sites on both sides before making any decision.</p>
<p>From what I see in the <a href="http://www.registerijango.com/portals/1/ijangocompplan070109.pdf">compensation plan</a>, this isn&#8217;t even the typical pyramid scheme. To make money, you have to generate 3 leads. So instead of the typical 2*n growth curve, you need to see a 3*n curve. To get your original $150 back, you need to sign up 21 people (assuming a 1 level deep return).</p>
<p>Google &#8220;pyramid scheme&#8221; and ijango. Grain of salt&#8230;.</p>
