World Ventures is a common pyramid scheme. World Ventures invites people to pay money to World Ventures: "members" then receive the (questionable) privilege of using World Ventures "leisure travel search engine" (it is in fact much inferior to Expedia.com); "Leisure Travel Consultants" or "Booking Travel Agents" get to divide up the membership fees of all the members they can recruit (the classic pyramid scheme).

World Ventures is acually selling nothing of any real value; any "leisure travel opportuities" avaliable thru World Ventures are easily and widely avaliable over the internet for free.

It is mathematically possible that only the people who start a pyramid scheme can actually make alot of money (they do no real work by the way).

If you want to make money in a pyramid scheme, instead of "joining" World Ventures, you would be better off starting a new one. For example: go buy a thousand golf balls and paint the words "Super Distance" on them, then find ten friends who want to both buy and sell memberships in the Super Distance Golf Ball Club: everybody who pays $500 for a membership gets one "Super Distance Golf Ball"l plus the right to sell memberships in the Super Distance Golf Ball Club; for every membership they sell, they get $100, the person who recruited them gets $100 and so on up the chain to you.

Maybe the best pyramid schme was the "Free Money" scheme that was perpetrated in Los Angeles in the 1960's: everybody who bought into the "Free Money" pyramid received the right to receive free money.
