Re: Do you play Tong Tin?
Oh, and the only other thing I know is that on the two occasions that my wife has 'won' over the years, the 'leader' has disappeared with the money!
Is that normal?

Very normal, very common and this is a very very high risk saving scheme. Scroll up and read my comment again. The thing is that the money has to be on the leader hands first before presenting to you.Username Taken wrote:Oh, and the only other thing I know is that on the two occasions that my wife has 'won' over the years, the 'leader' has disappeared with the money!

Lol, she didn't won the game but that was all her saved money or shares.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Do you play Tong Tin?
Yeah, pretty much my experience too. It's a fucking lame saving scheme with too many avenues for rip-offs. The economics of it don't make any sense.Username Taken wrote:Oh, and the only other thing I know is that on the two occasions that my wife has 'won' over the years, the 'leader' has disappeared with the money!

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Do you play Tong Tin?
Took forever for me to finally understand this "game", not that my partners explanation's weren't clear, it was just that I couldn't comprehend the ridiculousness of it. The chance of getting ripped off by the "leader" is far too great, and that's exactly what happened to one of my sister-in-law's, and that finally convinced my missus to stop "investing" in this stupid "game"

Avoid it like the plague.
Long list of people absconding with the savings, that's why it is illegal, people lose fortunes to con artists

Generally, yes, avoid like the plague.
In the event that a loved one is insisting on playing please have them ensure registration with the sangat to deter running off.

Re: Do you play Tong Tin?
there was a good research paper written in one of the us unis about this phenomena. I cant seem to find it right now but it explains what it is. anybody know which 1 im talking about? The one where no interview subject wanted to talk but was keen on hearing the best strategy which the paper had in its conclusion.
i have never played but several girls have lost thousands of my dollars to it. avoid playing and anybody that does.

Re: Do you play Tong Tin?
Thanks, Samouth for explanation and everyone for sharing. If you want to play Tong Tin, you have to find a reliable leader and members. I've played it, but now I don't play it because my sister was cheated by other member and the leader not give her money back. When anyone plays Tong Tin too many heads or gives the incridible hight rate that person seems to be a scammer because when s/he collects all money, s/he might run away.
