As if the good name of nanotechnology was not sufficiently besmirched by nanobots, we see the emergence in Denmark of what appears to be a pyramid scheme selling a range of nano cleaning products. The deal is that you recruit additional distributors and get rich, turning your initial few hundred euro investment into fifty thousand or more. From the web site we see that the scheme is also to be launched in Germany and the UK.
Its only natural that if something attracts as much interest as nano, the fraudsters and scammers will soon be buzzing around. We know of at least two market research firms that have suffered very professional attempts at extortion, and there are plenty of pump and dump schemes popping up on investing bulletin boards.
Be careful out there.
