Share: About Pyramid Scheme

Pyramid Schemes: How to Recognize and Avoid Them A pyramid scheme is an illegal and deceptive business model that relies primarily on recruiting new participants, rather than selling actual products or services. While these schemes may look like legitimate businesses at first glance, they are designed to collapse, often leaving the majority of participants with financial losses. Warning Signs of a Pyramid Scheme Be cautious if you notice any of the following red flags: Income is tied to recruitment, not product sales - You're told that your main earnings come from bringing in new members, not from selling products or services.

How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...
