 Ponzi scheme<br>
-The ponzi scheme works in the same way as a bank. You invest money, and the money you pay back returns dividends.
+The ponzi scheme works in the same way as a bank. It works under the guise that money invested is invested, and the profits are distributed to the investors via dividends. In a ponzi scheme though, the scammer running the 'investment fund' simply uses the pooled money to pay out dividends. Then when they've reached an amount of isk in the fund that they're happy with, they simply take the money and run.<br>
+With both banks and investment schemes, know that other people won't make your isk for you.

-Corp theft and roles<br>
+Corp theft<br>
+Corporate (and alliance) theft is hard to avoid, because the person who intends to steal for you, will wait as long as they need to in order to steal what they want. But simply, corporate theft can work on many levels. As roles and trust grow, the opportunities to steal increase. It can't be emphasized enough that a person who's looking to steal from the corporation will not show their intentions until things are too late. This is probably the only scam that I can't find a solution for.
