Actor Paramvir Cheema, known for his role in ‘The Pyramid Scheme’, revealed that he once had to sell his phone to settle debts arising from a pyramid scheme he got involved in. Cheema recounted being lured into the scheme by promises of easy money by a local individual.
During a promotional event for the show, Cheema highlighted how con artists can easily find targets based on the allure of their offerings. He emphasized that the success of such schemes depends on the dreams being sold and the platform used for promotion.
Cheema also drew attention to the influence of social media in swaying people towards dubious schemes and movements. He pointed out the ease of influencing individuals in India due to a significant portion of the population seeking quick solutions, especially given the prevalent poverty levels.
‘The Pyramid Scheme’, a series produced by The Viral Fever and available on Prime Video, delves into the intricacies of such fraudulent setups.
