You're wrong. It isn't illegal to be disabled and ask for help. It is illegal to ask for money and promise big dividends on return. That's what they're talking about in the video, and there's a large difference between the two situations.

There are a ton of videos all claiming different things, some true and some not. Care to make it easier on me and link to anything you think is relevant that supports your case?

+1

The video you linked to is the classic chain letter scheme. That went send $5 to the top 3 names on the list, take one off and put your name at the bottom of ten names and send it out to X people. When your name gets to the top you rake in cash.

What is the second video? The list is different for each viewer and can be localized by country. Can you link to the one you're referring to?
