An actual offer in the social networks has coming into my focus. The offer is "Make $25.00 For Every Email You Process And Get Paid INSTANTLY!". The offer has all signs of a scam from the kind "get rich fast".
A search for product, which shall get sold by this system, is completely missing. You get $25 for each member you recruit. The new members have nothing else to do then to you. The only way in which this offer differs from a standard pyramid scheme is that there is an extremely short “downline” (just you) and that the site owners are not part of the downline. The site owners are only earning $10 if one of the members order a site. Any way is it nothing than a pyramid system from which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and The FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation is warning. In some countries is such a system even illegal because nothing gets traded.
A look at the domain registration of the promoted website, which should be a "Proven System since 2010", shows that the creation date is Feburary 5, 2014. For this it can be only an affiliate.

We see in the above code that the site is only a frame and loads in reality the data from epsprosperityhotline.com for the refferal joseph82.
Scamadviser says about epsprosperityhotline.com:
Warning: Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Good Result: This website is deemed to be popular by Alexa with a ranking of 250692
Scamadviser only oversees that the domain ownership is hidden by a proxy service. Even the Alexa ranking of 250692 is not really a good sign especially if I compare it with my own site here, which has at the moment an Alexa ranking of 293180 (you can view the actual Alexa ranking of blog.wwpa.com by scrolling down to the end of the links on the right site).
The domain registration data of epsprosperityhotline.com show us that the domain got created January 28, 2013, so it cannot be a proven system since 2010.

If I try to visit the site directly, I'll get immediately a warning from Adguard:
Adguard has blocked access to this page
This web page at epsprosperityhotline.com, has been reported as a phishing page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Adguard has found that this page may be a forgery or imitation of another website, designed to trick users into sharing personal or financial information. Entering any personal information on this page may result in identity theft or other abuse.
As I know what I'm doing, I proceed and get the information that I have reached the site without a referral ID. If we add the referral id to the link, then we get like expected the same content. A view into the source code shows us, that we have reached really the parent site, which is even running in a frame by itself., because inside this frame are no other frame sets.

It is nice that epsprospertyhotline.com makes by themselves in their headline the connection to clickbank.net, which is already known from the different pyramid systems like paidsocialmediajobs.com, getcashforsurveys.com, click4surveys com, surveyspaid.com, etc. which are promoting the same get rich quick scheme.
At ScamAdviser we find about clickbank.net the complaints of two users and the following information:
Low Trust Rating. This Site May Not Be Safe to Use.
Alert Result: This website/business has been given a low reliability rating by other websites
Alert Result: This website has been reported as being untrustworthy
