  Hey, there are other scams. Now the most common scams are mlm & pyramid selling scams. Some of the pyramid scams companies are:
  1) Avita
  2)Bel'air
  3)DW(dolpines Warrior)
  4)NTI( new trend int)
  
  Sometimes, cashflow workshop & financial workshop are held by Pyramid scams to brainwash ppl's mindset. When any friend of yours invite you for such workshop,pls reject. Pls go sg forums, them click on multi level marketing & read on the following scam companies which i mention. Almost everyone joining such companies lose $$$. I be happy for saving more souls from being victimise by mlm.
