Telex Free is an online business that was established in February 2012. The creators are three Brazilians: Carlos Roberto Costa, Carlos Nataniel Wanzeler and James Matthew Merill.

Supposedly they handled the sale of advertising packages. After the investment, there only obligation was to enter some advertising links on a computer. In doing so, the investors were ensured economic returns of up to 300% of the capital employed initially. Another way to make money with Telex Free was to pair up other people. Any expenditure made by affiliates ensured a further gain to those who presented others.

It is sad to think that such gain is considered an illegal pyramid scheme by almost all courts of the world.

It is impossible to know how many people have joined, before knowing what the real criminal purpose of the company was. There is talk of more than a million people. Even in Italy there have been cases of real recruitment conventions, so compelling as to favor the spread of the scam in our country, as elsewhere.

April 13, 2014, two years after its opening, Telex Free was declared illegal by the Court of the District of Massachusetts. Meanwhile the money of those who had bought advertising packages had gone missing.

The money is not actually invested but used to pay investors already recruited earlier to make them believe in the validity of the system and make positive publicity.
