Montana To Stop Alledged Pyramid Scheme, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing

KFBB.com:

The State is trying to stop an alleged pyramid scheme from operating here in Montana. The State Auditor has issued a Cease and Desist order against a company that has reportedly taken more than $1.8 million from participating Montanans.

After many phone calls and complaints over the last few months, Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance Monica Lindeen announced that her office has ordered Kentucky-based Fortune Hi Tech Marketing to stop operating in our state.

“What they do is convince people that it’s a great money-making venture,” Lindeen said. “Unfortunately, very few people actually make any money.”

Nearly 1,300 Montanans have been recruited to be part of the alleged pyramid scheme. Commissioner Lindeen advises those people to immediately end their involvement with Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing.

She adds that especially during difficult economic times, more schemes surface and people are more likely to look for alternative ways to generate income.

“They have more scams today than ever,” said Helena resident Bud Lee. “People have to be wise.”
