Need money? Free scam idea, ready to use.

A French woman has gone on trial for allegedly conning thousands of Chileans into buying a kit to make “magic cheese” they could sell to French cosmetics companies for use in luxury beauty products.

Gilberte Van Erpe, 74, allegedly told her victims the prized ingredient was used in creams favoured by celebrities such as Michael Jackson, but the goop is actually worthless and the scam became one of the biggest pyramid schemes ever seen in South America.

The “case of the magic cheese”, as it is known in France, began in 2005 when the businesswoman dubbed “Madame Gil” began holding conferences around Chile urging people to become home producers of the fermented product.

For €369 ($413) they could buy a kit containing filters and a special powder, which when mixed with milk and fermented, produced a sort of cheese they were told was highly sought after by the cosmetics industry.

To entice the initial victims, the kits were given away for free, and people were paid for their first batches of exported “magic cheese”, convincing them to reinvest their earnings.

some years ago there was a tokay lizard speculative bubble in the region when rumour held that there was an anti HIV compound in them.
Individuals over 1 kg routinely fetched tens of thousands of dollars at the height of the frenzy.

Possibly some pseudoscience behind this - before coming to Cambodia I was on a T2D injectible refined from the toxins of a gila monster, a type of mexican lizard...

Tokay lizards cure for everything? I'd be willing to take a gekko at that.

Magic cheese? Jesus, the world is full of retards, bring on Armageddon, and let the chickens take over.

so, SC really is a reptilian who has had the alien genetic enhancements.

A French woman using the promise of cheese to con people?

It's so easy to be scammed, especially here in Cambodia. I remember last year while sitting in a bar drinking my ginger beer and telling a well known expat that I was having memory problems and maybe I was getting alcohol limers . He told me if I paid for his beer, he would tell me how to improve my memory.
He suggested I read more to exercise the brain, like reading Expat forums. Well , I paid for his beer , and have been reading &%# forums and my memory has not improved one bit.
I recon I was scammed.

Your memory has indeed improved. You can clearly recall a conversation you had in a bar last year!
