Pentagono
Pentagono is a money game run by Future Strategies Srl of Medona, Italy.
In reality, it is nothing more than a slightly
sophisticated chain letter, set up so that Future Strategies,
the originator of the chain, gets paid every time there's a new
participant.
Such programs are inherently fraudulent because they
falsely imply that all participants can ultimately profit.
In practice, though, law enforcement authorities have limited
resources, and such illegal schemes can operate for a long
time before the authorities take any action.
Regardless of the legal status of Pentagono, if
you decide to play Pentagono, you can expect that
your money will be gone-o!
For additional information, check the following links:
Strangely enough, a number of people will suggest that you should
participate in their program in spite of the fact that you might
be led to believe it's a scam by sites like this one.
Here are some complaints from
some of these people.
