About This Talk
Investment scams are Singapore's costliest form of fraud, and the pyramid scheme is the most destructive variant, leaving victims with not just financial loss but potential legal liability. Yet anyone can fall for it, regardless of education, income, or experience. Scammers don't find victims. They find moments of vulnerability that every one of us can have at some point in our lives.
This talk cuts through the confusion. In two focused hours, participants will understand exactly how pyramid investment schemes work, why even smart people get drawn in, and what to do when confronted with a suspicious pitch. The session is frank, practical, and grounded in real data, including Singapore Police Force scam statistics from 2025.
Who Is This Talk For
This talk is for everyone. Scams do not discriminate by age, profession, or income level. It is equally relevant whether you are attending as part of your organisation or simply as an individual who wants to protect themselves and the people they care about.
What You Will Learn
01
A clear definition of pyramid investment scams, understand the legal definition, how they are structured, and why they are so difficult to detect in real time.
02
Spot the red flags, stop, and take control, learn to identify the psychological tactics scammers use and the pressure points they exploit, so you can spot them in real time and protect yourself.
03
The GRIT Framework, a practical four-point checklist you can apply on the spot to evaluate any investment pitch, and how to say "No" assertively, especially when the promoter is someone you know.
04
Important helplines and resources, know exactly who to call and where to go if you or someone you know has been affected by an investment scam.
Benefits to the Organisation
Protects your people and your reputation. One employee drawn into a pyramid scheme can expose an entire team, causing internal disputes, productivity loss, and reputational damage to the organisation.
Demonstrates genuine care for employee wellbeing. Financial stress from scam losses directly affects mental health, performance, and retention. This talk is a proactive investment in your people.
Strengthens your workplace culture. A scam-aware workforce is more vigilant, more discerning, and better equipped to support one another, qualities that benefit the organisation well beyond this topic.
Reduces legal and compliance risk. Employees who unwittingly participate in or recruit for pyramid schemes may face personal criminal liability, a risk that reflects on the organisation. Awareness is your first line of defence.
