Call for more action over pyramid schemes

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 25 January 2021

A not-for-profit group is calling for the Commerce Comission to get tougher on those promoting pyramid schemes in Aotearoa.

That comes after the Commission issued a 'Stop Now' letter to Shelly Cullen, a promoter of Lion's Share - a suspected pyramid scheme.

The Commission says that investigation is ongoing.

The general manager of Ngā Tāngata Microfinance, Natalie Vincent, speaks to Jesse about her concerns over pyramid schemes.
