Gift Of Legacy Review: Rebooted $100 gifting pyramid scheme
Gift Of Legacy fails to provide company ownership information on its website.
In fact as I write this, Gift Of Legacy’s website is nothing more than a video placeholder with a launch timer.
The company however is being actively marketed on social media.
Gift of Legacy’s official YouTube channel was created in January 2021.
Videos started to appear on the channel a month ago. Those featured in the videos mostly have South African accents.
The first webinar was streamed on Gift Of Legacy’s YouTube channel on October 12th.
Ringleaders running the show are Chris Hattingh and Candice Donadel.
Chris Hattingh is a former Mirror Trading International promoter.
Mirror Trading International was a South African Ponzi scheme that collapsed in October 2020.
South African authorities confirmed a Mirror Trading International investigation in December 2020. Almost a year later nothing has publicly come of it.
Candice Donadel used to run a hair salon. Now she thinks she’s an “earth wizard” and posts whacky conspiracy theories on social media.
In a May 2021 marketing video for Elite Inc., Donadel explains what happened;
[0:30] I went through a lot of staff because nobody got as busy as I did. And I just wasn’t in a happy space.
And then one day I slipped in the salon and completely hurt my back. I was rendered absolutely useless.
So I had three weeks off where I couldn’t do any hair … and that’s how I found out about Niel’s course – just from being flat on my back and looking on FaceBook.
Donadel fell down the Facebook boomer conspiracy rabbit hole, Elite Inc. didn’t work out and here we are with Gift Of Legacy.
Despite appearing to be in prelaunch, in a recent November 11th Gift Of Legacy webinar, presenter Petra Laranjo claims she was recruited by Angela Kilian in January 2021.
Later in the webinar Petra references a “precursor program from 2009”.
This piqued my interest but I wasn’t able to link anything conclusively.
In any event, it’s clear Gift Of Legacy has already launched and was actively recruiting as early as January 2021.
Update 17th November 2021 – Gift Of Legacy’s precursor was Kindred Hearts.
Chris Hattingh claims Kindred Hearts was being run by an anonymous eighty-three year old woman from America.
Hattingh and Donadel claim Belinda Bryandt was their contact at Kindred Hearts.
Bryandt allegedly booted Hattingh and Donadel out of Kindred Hearts because they weren’t from the US.
Gift Of Legacy’s website domain was registered in July 2021.
Chris Hattingh and Candice Donadel announced Gift Of Legacy’s launch on September 28th. /end update
Read on for a full review of Gift Of Legacy’s MLM opportunity.
Gift of Legacy’s Products
Gift of Legacy has no retailable products and services.
Affiliates are only able to market Gift of Legacy affiliate membership itself.
Gift of Legacy’s Compensation Plan
Recruited Gift of Legacy affiliates buy into a four-tier gifting scheme.
Gifting payments within Gift of Legacy are tracked via a 2×3 matrix.
A 2×3 matrix places an affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:
These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Level three of the matrix is generated in the same manner and houses 8 positions.
When a Gift of Legacy affiliates buys into one of the four tiers, they are placed at the top of a corresponding 2×3 matrix.
Positions in the matrix are filled via subsequent gifting payments. When all positions are filled a “cycle” is triggered.
The first cycle at each matrix tier triggers payments and generation of new positions as follows:
- Bronze (positions cost $100) – $300 in gifting payments, generates a new Bronze position plus entry into the Silver matrix tier
- Silver (positions cost $400) – $1200 in gifting payments, generates a new Silver position plus entry into the Gold matrix tier
- Gold (positions cost $1600) – $6200 in gifting payments, generates a new Gold position plus entry into the Platinum matrix tier
- Platinum (positions cost $5000) – $35,000 in gifting payments and generates a new Platinum matrix tier position
Subsequent cycles don’t need to generate higher cycler tier positions and so pay out more in gifting payments:
- Bronze – $700 in gifting payments and generates a new Bronze position
- Silver – $2800 in gifting payments and generates a new Silver position
- Gold – $11,200 in gifting payments and generates a new Gold position
- Platinum – $35,000 in gifting payments and generates a new Platinum position
Note that because Platinum is the highest tier, first and subsequent cycle gifting payments are the same.
Joining Gift of Legacy
Gift of Legacy affiliate membership is tied to a $100 gifting payment.
Gifting payments within Gift of Legacy are made via PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or cryptocurrency.
Gift of Legacy Conclusion
Gift Of Legacy’s marketing shtick is “an incredible algorithm”. The algorithm supposedly ensures “everyone can ride the board of abundance”.
This is of course baloney; Gift Of Legacy is a simple matrix-based gifting scheme.
Matrix-based gifting schemes are less common now (most of the scammers have moved onto crypto), but were a dime a dozen 5-10 years ago.
Constant recruitment is required to keep a gifting scheme afloat. This combines gifting with a pyramid scheme model.
When recruitment inevitably collapses, so too does the gifting scheme.
Being a matrix-based gifting scheme, Gift Of Legacy’s collapse will be preceded by its matrices stalling.
Once enough matrices have stalled, that’s the end of the scam.
On the numbers side of things you have $100 going in and $42,700 coming out. Additional cycles pull out even more funds.
Without accounting for additional cycles, the math behind Gift of Legacy is already ridiculous.
One person needs 427 $100 gifting payments to withdraw across all four tiers. Those 427 people need 427 $100 gifting payments each, they need 427 $100 gifting payments each and… pretty soon you’re looking at numbers running into the billions.
That’s obviously not going to happen, and so the stage is set for your typical MLM gifting scheme collapse.
As with all MLM gifting schemes, the primary beneficiaries are those running them.
With Gift of Legacy that’d be Chris Hattingh and friends.
This transfer of money takes place through one or more preloaded admin positions.
These positions cycle first and through these cycles, suck up the majority of gifted in funds at the higher gifting tiers.
In order for that to happen, the majority of Gift Of Legacy participants have to lose money.
And that’s exactly how every MLM gifting scheme plays out.
This is basic math. Anyone telling you otherwise is, knowingly or otherwise, lying to you.
Gift Of Legacy is currently scheduled to relaunch on November 20th:
Those promoting Gift Of Legacy are actively targeting those financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apparently further ruining them financially through a gifting scam is somehow helping.
Update 8th December 2021 – Despite promising an “official confirmed” launch in late November, Gift of Legacy still hasn’t launched.
A visit to Gift of Legacy’s website today reveals any mention of a launch date has been removed.
Instead the website now states “launch to be announced… soon”.
Videos discussing the late November launch have been deleted from Gift of Legacy’s YouTube channel.
One of those videos was cited and linked to in this review. As such I’ve had to disable the previously accessible link.
Chris Hattingh’s previous scheme they talk about is likely Kindred Hearts. Below video his testimonial for Kindred Hearts posted in May 2021
youtube.com/watch?v=0aQfgsOCSq8
Here’s a video talking about transitioning from Kindred Hearts to Gift of Legacy from GOL’s Youtube:
youtu.be/xHP3Sgo2KeY
I did a review on my YouTube Channel and came to the same conclusion as you OZ.
I have to say. The GOL Members are spitting fire at me. LOL. They just don’t get it.
They know 100% what they are doing is illegal, they just don’t want people to know
Ah so it is indeed a collapsed gifting scheme reboot.
Gift of Legacy website domain was registered in July 2021 – so they knew at least then Kindred Hearts was over.
Yup, pretty much winners rebooting for their benefit.
KH affiliates claim GOL is better than KH because KH only failed due to “technical issues”. “We have a better Dev now”.
Like really.
@Jaco
The ringleaders get it. The “kumbuya sAcReD eCoNoMiCs” act is just to lure braindead morons in.
Anyone who understands 1+1=2 steers clear of gifting schemes.
What a bunch of scamming fucks. I’ve had the video playing while I went through comments.
They onboarded their Kindred Hearts victims and “opened up to the public” on Nov 5th. Just “get two people” guyz.
Screw the new victims they create because money.
The children’s TV show presenter voices they put on really grates on me. They know they’re targeting morons and couldn’t care less.
It’s a clusterfuck of woowoos and “sacred economics” and “it’s legal just like stokvels” (Stokvel being a group saving scheme in South Africa – requires registration and obviously money in = money out).
Absolutely 0 collective braincells.
Fewer than 4 levels to reach a billion. (3.422 levels > 1 billion.)
At 427 per level, 4 levels is more than 33 billion people; more than 4x the earth’s population.
Math guarantees these things will always implode. The admins make sure they’re the only winners when it does. Just say “no”, kids, unless you like watching other people living large off of your money.
Strangely when I was researching Cfx , there was a lot of negative comments and nay sayers too.. I lost a 12 months of trade earnings because I listened to other people’s opinions about CFX, however Cfx is going strong and I’m.glad I eventually joined and wasn’t influenced by the negative remarks…
With Gift of legacy, there will be naysaying too… perhaps…one should take a risk to test it to know and understand…
You didn’t lose anything. You chose not to steal from people in a blatant Ponzi scheme. Then you signed up for a gifting scheme and proceeded to steal from people.
Math is math. Gifting schemes result in the majority of participants losing money.
CashFX is also a scam, as the numerous warnings from countries all over the world attest.
“Losing out” on 12months of stolen money sounds like a good thing, at least for honest people.
So you missed the boat on one scam, then you decide to join another. What kind of dirty human are you?
I have been asking the universe to assist me financially. Gift of Legacy shows up. I see what they say and how they roll.
So I decided to stop whining about my financial reality and give it a go. What’s the worst that can go wrong I ask myself?
I can “lose” a $100….whoopi do! I experienced far worse before.
BUT BUT BUT…I can learn something interesting things about such a community.
I can grow. Hell…I can even make more friends and build my network.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Thank you for the opportunity. I look forward to the adventure.
What utter nonsense. I do not need to jump off a cliff to see what will happen; I already know what will happen.
The same is true of a gifting scheme or any other scam.
I understand how math works and know what happens: either I steal from others or I lose my money. Neither is at all attractive to me.
@Jj: I see you only care about getting money by any means. Kindly piss off.
Clearly all of you and your negative feedback on Gift of Legacy, you are obviously inherently negative by nature!
The leaders on Gift of Legacy are the most amazing truthful people out there and have everyone’s back in this regard.
Do yourself a favor and try open up your mind just a bit to understand how everything is going to flow, in fact it is mind blowing!
Jealousy really gets you nowhere…
By the way stokvel is very legal in South Africa.
Oh Boy….there are scammers telling everyone else that they are scammers. We sure are living in trying times…
This is a legitimate platform to sincerely participate in. No trading and scamming.
This review is not accurate and I find it very unsettling the personal attacks that it contains. Candice and Chris are kind, loving people and are always putting others ahead of themselves.
I have been a part of KH for almost a year now. I have received many gifts and have seen hundreds of others receive gifts.
Unfortunately KH has some admin/IT issues (no way to reset passwords etc.) and is also only open to USA.
A very wise decision was made to create a new platform. KH members were given a chance to migrate to the new system at no charge.
The new platform is extremely professional and has amazing new algorithms that help everyone to move through the boards and to receive.
There are also fail safes written into the system to ensure everyone will benefit from this.
I cannot wait for the soft launch on 20 November, many people will be blessed by this.
This is just such a sad day, reading this review.
I lost my job 8 months ago and this has been my ONLY income, I have had absolutely no income since the pandemic started and now someone who has everything could potentially ruin what I have in this gifting activity.
KH was very good to me as well as 4 other friends who joined behind me, they also now, have some form of income….
Why does it seem to me that there are ulterior motives behind this article? I am devastated that someone – clearly someone who has a job as well as technical know-how can ruin the lively-hood of those that have not…..
this get back to the conspiracy theory of the 1% that has everything and the 99% who does not.
Shame on you for potentially ruining my ONLY form of income, you are ruining more than what you will ever conceive.
I am so grateful for the gifting community! They saved my life and that of my child’s.
Having lost everything during COVID, this magical and amazing community has become my precious family! If it weren’t for this community and sacred economy, I would be homeless.
I urge you to double check your FACTS and understand one very important aspect…..THIS IS COMMUNITY!!!
We take care of each other and NOW is the time for us to come together and respect each and every person who has joined this blessing!
This is no scam; it’s a joy! It’s about time the world shifted to this new and beautiful paradigm, which, by the way, has been around for YEARS!!! UBUNTU dear ones….UBUNTU!
We are here to serve…with positivity, ease, joy and glory! You don’t want to get on board?? that’s your choice…but I have mine and boy am I glad I made this choice to join the Sacred Economy Community 1 year ago!
I have enormous gratitude and hope you can find it in your hearts to respect and fully understand the workings of GL.
Oh dear – another uninformed post by this platform. What a pity people might read this and be dissuaded from a potential opportunity.
How you can grade a platform that has not been launched, degrade very credible people (do you know them personally? I do) and also rate something you HAVE NOT TRIED.
I know from experience Gifting economies work – because I have received abundantly before – and I started 12 years after it began.
A TRUE critique comes from being a part of the system, following the guidelines 100% and THEN commenting from a position of knowledge and not just opinion.
As for Jaco – you slated GL while promoting your own platform which is extremely unethical so your credibility is questionable based on your actions.
If you are going to be a professional group, research, interview, test….. then comment otherwise your ‘journalism’ is purely FAKE NEWS.
Pyramid schemes are where people pay money to an organisation that holds all the money, in those schemes people lose money.
You will never find a pyramid scheme that is Peer-To-Peer gifting.
Peer to peer Gifting Communities are legal and gifting a person directly is legal, therefore Gift Of Legacy is legal.
I see this review has reached the Gift of Legacy social media group.
And so we have South Africa’s dumbest trying to convince us an obvious scam isn’t a scam.
Let’s get this over with…
@Glenda
You steal a bunch of money from people. Not that you give a fuck.
@Shaz
Gift of Legacy’s leaders are dishonest scammers out to steal as much money as they can. If they were truthful they’d own that reality.
So is ice cream and the color blue. Gift Of Legacy is still an illegal gifting pyramid scam.
@Andie
Gift of Legacy is a gifting pyramid scheme. All gifting pyramid schemes are scams. By definition of being a scam, Gift Of Legacy is the opposite of legitimate.
You chucklefucks brigading here and lying through your teeth is evidence enough of that.
@Sharon
Candice and Chris are scammers running a gifting pyramid scheme. Gifting admins are out to steal as much money as they can.
That’s literally the only reason scammers launch gifting pyramid schemes.
You got in early and scammed your fellow South Africans. Here’s a Cookie.
Math is math and Kindred Hearts collapsed. All gifting schemes collapse.
Gift Of Legacy is a simple matrix gifting scheme. There are no algorithms.
@Andrea
Losing your job isn’t a license to steal money from people.
Shame about your victims though. But fuck ’em, eh.
In gifting schemes 1% of the scammers steal from the other 99% that join. Did you learn basic arithmetic in school?
Scamming people is not income.
@Deb
You joined a gifting scheme and proceeded to steal from others.
A COVID-19 sob story does not entitle you to thievery. Get it through your skulls.
The fact is Gift Of Legacy is a gifting pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants will lose money.
Your cOmMuNiTy is not above the laws of mathematics.
All gifting schemes are scams. Gift Of Legacy hasn’t even launched yet and Ubuntu? Is that code for “I’m a scumbag thief?”
Don’t know and don’t care. Gift Of Legacy is still an illegal gifting pyramid scheme.
@Tim
1. Gift Of Legacy is a gifting pyramid scheme because of its business model. Whether you and your fellow scammers have had a chance to steal from the public yet is neither here nor there.
2. People who promote Ponzi schemes and launch gifting scams are the opposite of credible. Thank fuck I don’t know any scumbags. I don’t have time for that trash.
Math is math. The majority of participants in gifting pyramid schemes are guaranteed to lose money.
a TrUe ViCtIm CoMeS fRoM gEtTiNg ShOt In ThE fAcE, nOt An OpInIoN! Get the fuck out of here.
Gift Of Legacy is a pyramid gifting scheme. That’s a fact.
@M
Wrong. A pyramid scheme compensates on recruitment of new participants.
That’s what happens in Gift Of Legacy. New victims are recruited and you steal their money.
I’ve reviewed dozens of them over the years. This crap is nothing new.
There’s nothing legal about gifting pyramid schemes.
Not one of you degenerate dumbasses addressed the impossible math behind gifting pyramid schemes.
I’ll make this easy for you: address the impossible math behind gifting pyramid schemes like Gift Of Legacy or spambin.
Oh, the tears of the butthurt… I live for this.
What a joke. You all can’t honestly believe this is legit.
When this collapses, as it certainly will, you’ll be back here crying “How do i get my money back?”
Gift of legacy raised my grandmother from the dead.
This review is obviously written by someone who doesn’t want ancestors rising from their graves and is biased.
It’s not a pyramid scheme as only ancient Egyptians were buried in pyramids and dear old grandma was not an ancient Egyptian.
Think of a gifting scheme as everyone buying the popular person super expensive gifts in the hope of getting one back when in reality you get nothing back because nobody likes you as you are too stupid to do simple maths.
These people posting negative comments about GL know absolutely nothing about GIFT OF LEGACY. They better “SHUTUP” and watch us gifting one another, changing people’s lives for the better.
GL IS DEFINITELY NOT A PONZI!!
What’s there to know? It’s a simple matrix gifting pyramid scheme.
These were a dime a dozen before MLM crypto scams took over.
Nah. Nothing beats scammer salt on my popcorn.
Stealing from people isn’t cHaNgInG tHeIr LiVeS fOr ThE bEtTeR.
No one said it was. Gift Of Legacy is a gifting pyramid scheme.
An example of a Ponzi scheme is Mirror Trading International. You can ask Gift Of Legacy owner Chris Hattingh all about that.
Still waiting on one of you chuckefucks to address Gift Of Legacy’s impossible math.
Yeah. Too bad for you this isn’t a stokvel.
Know what the difference is?
– A stokvel you pay in $100 x 12,and you get $1200 out
– GOL you pay in $100 and hope you get $700 out miraculously profiting from a bunch of people below you in the pyramid joining
A stokvel is a legal collective saving scheme. This is a pyramid scam.
Ubuntu doesn’t mean stealing from others in a pyramid you confused child.
Your SACRED ECONOMY is 7 people need to join for 1 to get paid.
There aren’t unlimited people, so what about the guys that join last? Fuck them right.
And don’t come with this bullshit about “You can put your money back in”.
Even if you did that,and you bought 6 new spots and kept $100 extra,you’re still short.
People aren’t unlimited. Money isn’t unlimited.
Thats why Pyramid scams always fail.
For those confused I looked up the Law in South Africa specifically outlawing about this type of scam:
Per the Consumer Protection Act of 2008 published in Government Gazette 29 April 2009 No. 32186
gov.za/sites/default/files/32186_467.pdf
Sounds familiar?
Gazette Notice 1135 of 1999, published In Government Gazette No 20169 of 9 June 1999.
In Notice 1 135 multiplication schemes, chain letters and pyramid schemes were declared unlawful by the Minister of Trade and Industry.
Me join by paying
Me recruit more
Me no get goods or service
Me go higher in pyramid after more join
Me get paid at top of pyramid
$42,700. That’s 427 $100 payments for everyone who joins Gift Of Legacy. Who then need 427 payments each, etc. etc.
This is the impossible math nobody in the scam wants to address.
It’s how they sell it to less intelligent victims ( It’s just $100 to get $700 ). Easier to swallow in small chunks.
I went with the “smallest board” which is likely the argument some imbecile will try to make.
Getting all the way through the numbers get obscene,needing to recruit thousands to millions of people.
Maybe…. be like the rest of the world and go find a job instead of scamming people?
It’s a frequent strategy for purveyors of Gifting scams/circles/looms to try to equate them to things like Stokvels/Susu’s(etc,there’s a stack of names in every language) which are Rotational Group Saving schemes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susu_(informal_loan_club)
Also for all your Gift of Lol victims – note that lovely addition midway to the wikipedia article
I think Spencer Cornelia also mentioned the nomenclature in his Pyramid Scheme video
youtube.com/watch?v=ITpr0kw0qmI
One news report on blessing looms: youtube.com/watch?v=9-TQilCVSxk
Thanks. Not the first time I’ve brushed up against stokvel and susu. As you say South African scammers love to equate their gifting schemes to them.
Ubuntu plays into that:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy
Kinda humanity/people helping people/community waffle. Fake spiritual nonsense explanations for pyramids.
For those wondering why scammers are shouting obscure operating systems at each other, Ubuntu is a Southern African philosophy that most closely translates into English as “No human is an island.” As a rallying cry (as in this thread) it could also be translated as “All for one and one for all”.
Taken literally the word means “humanity”. The idea behind “ubuntu” is that to be human is to help other humans. The philosophy appeals to self-interest rather than a higher power or the virtue of sacrifice; it says that if you help others, others will help you.
The scamming geniuses here are turning that on its head by claiming that to be human is to screw over and steal from other humans. Because everyone’s doing it, right, eVeRyThInG iS a PyRaMiD sChEmE.
A pyramid scheme can be thought of as a barrel of rats, with other rats on the outside looking bemusedly in. It is in the interests of the rats in the barrel to persuade the rats outside to jump in, so they have more rats to stand on.
It is also in the interest of each rat in the barrel to persuade the other rats to head to the bottom rather than the top (sUpPoRt ThE coMmUnItY!) which in a gifting scheme translates to paying more money in.
Regardless of what words you shout or philosophies you hijack, however, the fact remains that the vast majority of rats are going to die in the bottom of the barrel.
Just wanted to note that after grouping up and brigading this review, 24 hrs later not one affiliate returned to address Gift Of Legacy’s impossible math.
I know you’re reading. Shame on each and every one of you.
Probably furiously working on preparing for their “big public launch”.
Most scams have daily zoom meetings near the end of their existence,bodes well for their expected numbers.
Why is it not worth replying to “the impossible maths” (and many other pointless comments in the fake review……)
The saying that applies here is: “convince a man against his will and he will remain unconvinced still”.
If money is so tight that gifting someone else $100 means your family wont eat, then stay at your JOB.
So my last word – the proof is in the pudding!
Oh look, another non-answer.
That’s nice. Gift Of Legacy is still a gifting pyramid scam in which the majority of participants will lose money.
Whether people can afford to lose $100 to scammers such as yourself is neither here nor there. You’re not entitled to steal anyone’s money, period.
Wow you really are dumber than a brick hahaha.
Let’s make it simple for the slow people in the back of the classroom.
The only people that make money in scams are scammers. If you make money in a gifting scam – such as Gift of Legacy – you are a scammer too. Congrats for making a profit through theft. Definitely a skill to put on your CV next to “0 logical reasoning ability”
Nobody gives a flying fuck if you can afford to steal from other idiots or not. You’ve proven exactly how accurate the review and comments trying to protest it are so thanks for that.
It’s illegal you nunce.
Well…I gift people everyday! Where is the loss when you gift with no expectations of return. There is none!!!
You see there are many people of this world that move beyond the fears and limitations and take on new creations that may have hidden possibilities! I get the fears that takes place in a 3rd dimensional mindsets, belief systems can be ruthless!!!
We all are learning the truth when it comes to a larg gathering of like-minded loving beings, we change the world!!! I call it the morphic resonance, playing in the patterns of it’s energy fields. It’s genius!!!
Keep doing you! Your negativity without experience on this community (not launched yet) helps us weed out the limited mindsets of the old cycles of fear.
We thrive in darkness you know, it’s part beauty of this I’ll will post that will be demolished by light. I am grateful for this post…
The displayed fear and negativity makes me feel better about my new GIFT OF LEGACY FAMILY!!! Again, moving onward and upward.
We are hear on this planet to love one another, TO HELP EACH OTHER THRIVE!!!
Blessings to you! I’m going to continue in my gift giving and blessing as many as I can while I’m alive…unconditional love is my kind of life No loss for me sweetheart!
Much love!!! GO GIFT OF LEGACY FAMILY!!! MAY WE CONQUER AND THRIVE!!! I’M TRULY BLESSED TO EXPERIENCE THIS CREATION AND MEET LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!
As a financial advisor, this is genius!
That’s nice. But the only reason anyone gifts into gifting pyramid schemes, like Gift Of Legacy, is precisely on the expectation of a return.
That’s the scheme’s entire business model. Just watch any marketing video.
You of course already know this. I just wanted to point out when you open with a disingenuous premise, the waffle that comes after it is irrelevant.
Jen O, you come across as a complete bastard seeking to manipulate others.
This system has already been ruled illegal in dozens of nations around the globe, including ones that GoL is recruiting into.
Financial advisor, exactly what is genius about participating in an illegal gifting scam? Did you not run numbers?
I want to enter this GL.My question for all people who wrote bad comments.
Please tell me is there are anybody who enter and lost his money?
Math is math and the majority of participants in gifting schemes lose money.
By the time suckers recruited into Gift Of Legacy realize they’ve lost money, it’s too late and the gifting scheme has collapsed.
If you want to specifically find people who’ve lost money in gifting schemes and are now in Gift Of Legacy, identify those who were late recruited into Kindred Hearts.
They won’t admit they joined the bottom of a gifting scam and will come up with all sorts of excuses. At the end of the day though they lost money, because that’s what happens in gifting schemes.
Ruhroh, November 20th launch is #RIP.
Now there’s no launch date. How many delays is that now fellas?
Gift Of Legacy is a matrix script purchased from somewhere, setting it up isn’t rocket science.
Not that they won’t launch at some point, but this is more of a reflection on those running the company.
What a complete, disingenuous moron you are. JUST like the idiots that stood around watching Noah build his ark, asking why. “It’s never rained, what’s rain anyway?”
Completely made up, totally misquoting all that you have quoted, and nothing factual at all relating to Gift of Legacy.
If you want to go after anyone for MTI, go find the mastermind, Johann Steynberg and get us all our money back, we’ll give you a commission for the effort. Not Chris Hattingh.
(Ozedit: derails removed)
Lolol settle down love, it’s not my fault your gifting scam isn’t launching.
Anything quoted was taken directly from those credited. Literally from the horse’s mouth.
The fact is Gift Of Legacy is a gifting pyramid scheme. That’s based on its business model.
If you haven’t looked into the nuts and bolts of the business model because money, sit down.
BehindMLM reported on MTI being a Ponzi scheme long before it collapsed. You lost your money.
BehindMLM has reported on Gift Of Legacy being a gifting pyramid scheme long before it’s collapsed. Unless you’re one of the few scammers placed at the top, you’re going to lose your money… again.
Instead of begging others to recover your money, how about don’t be a dumb fuck with your NoAh AnD hIs ArK bullshit and stop joining scams?
Chris Hattingh very much promoted Mirror Trading International. Whether he personally stole your money is neither here nor there.
It’s Hattingh’s serial-scammer history that’s the problem. And that’s what’s brought up in the review.
This is what actual due-diligence looks like. But no, let’s all sit down and listen to the bible thumper who continues to sign up and lose money in scam after scam.
Gifting scammers SUCK!!!!!!! A bunch of lowlife losers!
Dear butthurt scammers, clutching your pearls whilst ignoring Gift Of Legacy’s fraudulent business model = spambin.
You’re not illiterate so stop pretending to be.
There is nothing wrong with gifting. The problem is people expecting others to give to them and do nothing.
The biggest problem is so call heavy hitter that put the dead relative, dogs, cats and rats in the program; take the funds, and leave the program.
However, the person who start this website is a hater, (Ozedit: derails removed)
If you want to gift little Timmy a PS5 for Christmas, have at it.
That’s not what Gift Of Legacy is though and you know it.
And what does that do? It speeds up the inevitable gifting pyramid scheme math that guaranteed the majority of participants lose money.
TL;DR: “Illegal gifting pyramid schemes are fine, so long as I’m the one doing the stealing.”
Correct me if I’ve got the maths wrong, but if an ordinary wannabe scammer signs up their dead cat under them, they may push their original position higher up the pyramid but that still leaves a new $100 payment at the bottom.
It’s the pre-loaded admin positions right at the top of the pyramid that take the lion’s share of the funds.
What Mary White is saying is that the problem with a gifting scam is the people who run the gifting scam. Nobody else gets to set up a load of positions and take all the money.
If you don’t like what the admins of a scheme are doing then maybe you shouldn’t give them your money?
But if you’re at the bottom of a barrel of rats your instinct is to blame the rat standing on your face, rather than the rats at the top, even though the rat on your face is just as screwed as you are.
1. This isn’t gifting. Gifting is giving something and not getting something back,let alone 7x or more what you put in
2. It’s also not a stovel,which is where you only get out what you put in ie $100 (whatever you deposited = what you are owed. Not a cent more)
3. Explain how them putting in $100 per dog/pet/cat/horse/uncle/sister and leaving with the money they were promised is the problem.
I’d loooove to hear you explain this magic maths. Since it’s not a pyramid scheme recruitment and dropouts shouldn’t affect it right? You’re just “gifting” so what’s the issue.
I’m still curious, but I supposeif you do the math it will collapse. But why not ride the wave while it’s moving.
Because some of us aren’t morally bankrupt?
Any money you make from a gifting scheme is stolen from someone else.
Sorry for everybody who joins after and loses their money to you then right?
@jeniferjones and @antiMLM. if everyone joins after Jenifer then the wave will keep building whooo whooo!!!
I’m trying to tell my 2 friends who want to suck me into this GOL scam that it’s not legal.
That the big launch that is promised is usually months away and they’re gonna keep promising the big launch just to buy time to suck more people in.
They think they will make $3200 by December end. Not accurate. It’s all such a con artist game they truly believe in.
It’s so sad. Because each person under them will be losing their one hundred dollars. I wouldnt want to be responsible for that.
Review updated to note Gift of Legacy’s delayed launch and YouTube video deletions.
What’s your math say about a gambling casino (Ozedit: derails removed)
My math says Gift of Legacy is still an illegal gifting scam in which the majority of participants will lose money.
Whataboutism = GTFO
@Jace Thomas – Gambling casinos are legal in many places, but have to operate within certain rules and regulations.
Gifting circles are not legal anywhere that I know of, and participants can face years in jail for promoting them in the wrong jurisdictions (see Louisiana and Michigan for some of the harshest non-theocratic examples I know of in the Western world).
Let me try to equate watermelons and horses
A typical house edge (profit margin) on a casino game is 2.7%, as on a roulette wheel.
The typical house edge in a pyramid scam is 99%. Almost everyone loses money except the people who set it up and stuff themselves into all the top positions.
Moreover, a casino game is transparent. Anyone can see how many slots there are in a roulette wheel and how likely it is that it will come up with a certain number. Even if the wheel has been rigged, a player with a good memory and grasp of maths could spot that within a few hours.
In a pyramid scheme, nobody knows what the odds are as they have all been fed bullshit about how it will pay out forever because “people are always being born”. Would you play a casino game if the owner claimed that it was guaranteed to make you rich?
How’s that for maths?
So the main monkeys have made their names known officially now as “the trust”:
Jacques Marais
Jenny Brandt
Candice Donadel
Hercules Viljoen
Chris Hattingh
Unsurprisingly Jacques Marais and Jenny Brandt’s little “Network Legacy Global” team promoted such stellar scams as Daisy, Beurax and PGI Global too.
Hercules Viljoen’s an old Crowd1 shill too.
Where are “Sharon” and “Deb” now?
Two things. A. No wonder South Africa is feeling the effects of a pass for school leaving mathematics being 35%, and B.
Who does is in a country where everyone is armed, getting poorer and bad things happen? Come on fellow South Africans, wake-up!
Pyramids need steps.
For these anti GOL guys…. First the degrading language you use . as foul language. Calling people monkeys. Dumb a..se. And whatevevet expletives you can use. Shows the integrity of such critiques.
Of course I have joined. Of course I live in a hope of paying off my R60 000.oo utilities bills and help others to get there.
Im way past retirement age and still trying to make a living in bad business times. Does that make me dumb? Or a monkey.
You not worried about those who are joining. Youre just not happy that you too have not joined. Of you have your own evil agends
No. I can’t speak for monkeys but thinking you’re above math certainly makes you dumb.
But you’re not dumb. You’re running around the internet defending math that will most certainly guarantee you lose money – unless you scam people.
That makes you a deadset fucking moron.
Here’s a virtual tissue to wipe away the tears and some pearls to clutch.
For all of you “defenders” of Gift-of-Legacy I am going to type this really slow so you get it. CASH GIFTING IS ILLEGAL in all 50 states, and in every westernized country in the world.
There are two types of defenders here: 1. This is your first time in an illegal cash gifting scheme, or 2. You have been in them before.
First-timers you are just ignorant. Category 2 you are a promoter for you know they are illegal and don’t care you are stealing from others.
Gol is NOT a scam. I personally know people who have made an income from it and they have helped others.
What scammer GIVES of their earnings to others? I myself was gifted the money to join.
When you reach your 4th board you don’t get booted off, you continue on the perpetual boards.
You’re calling people stupid when you clearly don’t understand how it works.
You have comments on here from people who have benefited from this. For some it’s their only income. If you don’t want to join then don’t, but keep your comments to yourself then.
Don’t trash something you haven’t done correct research on.
iT’s NoT a ScAm If Me AnD mY fRiEnDs ArE sTeAlInG mOnEy!
All gifting schemes are scams.
Whether you and your friends are stealing money is irrelevant to Gift of Legacy being a gifting scam.
What scammers do or don’t do is irrelevant to Gift of Legacy being a gifting scam.
Gift of Legacy is a gifting scheme in which the majority of participants are guaranteed to lose money.
Matrix gifting schemes have been around since the 2000s. Just because this is your first foray into fraud doesn’t mean you’re the only one who “gets it”.
You’re the one coming on here to defend your scam. Expect pushback.
It is, the only income it has is from suckers joining. It’s not miraculously multiplying money.
3 basic qualifying criteria for a pyramid scam:
1) requires recruitment to join
2) cycles through levels as more join
3) requires payment to join
Bankrobbers also make money, drug dealers make money. Making money only proves they make money.
The kind that expects to get 8x back what they put in, if that means giving 2 other people the starting cash they still profit.
Thats called an endless chain, literally a pyramid scam.
Okay smart lady, prove the math.
If 0 people join as of today, how many people won’t get paid?
Drug dealers and thieves also profit from crime. Their opinions on crime mean fuckall, just like yours.
You don’t even understand basic maths, or that its illegal in every country in the world. Guess who didn’t do their research correctly?
Hint: You
My fucking dad is so dumb, like he wants to enroll In this shit, Gotta love when you have a retarded parent, good thing I researched about this “Gift of Legacy”, this is INSANE!
MMM was an identical gifting scam which collapsed causing about 10 million people to lose their money.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM_(Ponzi_scheme_company)
When MMM collapsed, they balmed the negative press about them and even had the audacity to try strat it again!
businesstech.co.za/news/finance/122271/mmm-south-africa-collapses-and-starts-over/
It is too incredible that people can believe that this will not ultimately collapse!
Facts like math,legality and reality matter little to cultists like Gift of Legacy imbeciles.
I believe one of the “council” was in fact in MMM,so wouldn’t be surprised if they have no firm hold on reality.
*holds hands in a heart shape like a GL cultist*
ANTIMLM (Ozedit: derail removed)….did you really made a point to investigate Gift of Legacy??? Can you proof and bring people to the table that really lost their money in this opportunity??
As I gone through your answers in response to the reviews it stands out you don’t have facts to state your points and you don’t have any definite proof that any person lost money in The Gift of Legacy opportunity….
you repeat just over and over with the same respond..it is a scam its a pyramid but you bring no facts or proof to the table to state your point….
Do you get paid to make this negative remarks towards an opportunity to bring some kind of income to people that lost their jobs…
So stop insulting or swearing to people on this revue site and get your facts straight please.
Why does it feel like every second person in South Africa is mathematically illiterate? Or I suppose that’s not fair. At least the ones involved in MLM.
$100 in, $42,700 out. Math guarantees the majority of gifters are losing their $100.
Nothing being marketed to and/or sold to retail customers? Pyramid scheme.
Losing your job doesn’t entitle you to steal money from people through gifting scams.
Gift of Legacy scammers stealing $42,700 for every $100 gifted in: This is fine.
Insults and swearing: oH nO!
Yes.
(Illegal) pyramid schemes always collapse. Just because it’s started doesn’t mean it’s not illegal,or not going to collapse.
It’s a pyramid scam. Specifically a chain letter scam. Just because you don’t like the fact doesn’t make it not a fact.
Per South African law:
Sounds like Gift of Losing.
Proof:
Sounds like Gift of Losing.
I wish, i’d be rich, you people get scammed daily.
Frankly I don’t care what your excuse is for stealing from future victims – probably old retired people,or fellow jobless,or people with kids. Pyramid scams always end the same.
Aww.
Get fucked pretty please you imbecile? Hows that?
Done, it’s a pyramid scam. Pretty straightforward one too,at least other scams like MTI hid it better.
Disagree? Prove the math.
And yes, South Africans are pretty innummerate. That will happen when the ruling party drops the pass rate for mathematics to 30%.
Feels like the person in charge of enforcing 30% scored less than 30% and doesn’t know what they’re doing.
I have read all your comments and see that you mention you need 7 people below you, so maybe I am wrong but how does millions of people lose their money if you only need 7 people below you.
Secondly I have starting doing affiliate marketing and came across your website and thats how I happened to find you and I am really appalled at your language. (Ozedit: derails removed)
That isn’t mentioned anywhere in the review but I’ll humor you.
Gifting pyramid schemes always collapse because you need seven, they need seven, those need seven… and a few “need seven” levels later we’re talking more people than exist on Earth.
Everyone who doesn’t “have seven people under them” loses money. Math guarantees this is the majority of participants roped into the scam.
Another scammer completely fine with ripping people off in gifting schemes. But oh no, not the language.
Nobody cares.
Seeing as this is a recurring theme, is this the deflection being pushed in Gift of Legacy’s social media group?
People feigning disgust at gifting scams is a normal reaction. You all being OK with it (so long as you think there’s still money to steal) is the problem.
Gift of Legacy’s website Alexa ranking: N/A
RIP and sorry for your loss. May your butthurt be bountiful.
The longer the scam runs the more people it requires to keep feeding it – as with all pyramid scams
Let’s do some simple math with 1 board – on the left we’ll have how many people need to get paid,on the right how many are needed under them to fully pay the left side
1 to be paid + 7 needed
7 to be paid + 49 needed
49 to be paid + 343 needed
343 to be paid + 2401 needed
2401 to be paid + 16807 needed
16807 to be paid + 117 649 needed
117 649 to be paid + 823 543 needed
823 543 to be paid + 5 764 801 needed
5 764 801 to be paid + 40 353 607 needed
From here you can see there is a constant increase in how many are needed to continue paying out.
Now remember,people are not infinite, and money is not infinite,so at some point you won’t be able to recruit any more.
If you reach that point at the bottom row, then 823 543 people got paid,and another 6million did not and never will.
This number only gets worse with every level/board. For every person to get paid 7 others risk not being paid.
Do you really want on your conscience being part of a scheme that will automatically make 86% of the joiners poorer at the end? What kind of scumbag does such a thing?
(Also note this assumes boards have 0 dropouts ever, and no rebuying but even with rebuys you are only delaying the failure)
I wonder if you really do affiliate marketing, or just MLM and convinced yourself you aren’t selling pyramid schemes to assuage a guilty conscience.
How con anyone “lose” something that was given as a “gift”..?
Because an actual monetary gift has no strings attached.
People participate in gifting schemes to steal money from people who buy-in after them. Math takes care of the rest.
If it’s a gift you aren’t expecting more money back are you? That would be very pyramid-scammy.
This is one of the most entertainig threads I ever had the pleasure to read. Thank you, OZ.
For your patience and guidance wrapped in a language which is certainly not running under “non-violent”…yet done with eloquence, wit and creativity. Lots of LOL’s for me in there!
I also see clearly now what is going on with the Legacy business, I hang my head in shame admitting that I couldn’t see it before – or I could, but was hoping there might be FINALLY a twist allowing a fairer distibution of wealth.
Naive me. No twist. Just – yes indeed – good old maths.
Thank you again! Great Job. YOU SHOULD GET PAID!
Glad you found it entertaining!
Brilliant Stuff keep it up.

Hi! No jokes or debauchery, just a sincere question by someone who is really trying to understand: why people who gave money for the one in LEGEND can say that they were robbed?
Tks in advance.
Recruitment inevitably collapses, resulting in the majority of participants in a gifting scheme losing money.
Hi everyone,
read this article, and realise this is why society does not move forward.
Whoever wrote this article….Have you ever ,from your own experience, participated in any gifting economy?
Must say you ignore what collaboration,teamwork and most of all taking on your own economy freedom means.
Gift of Legacy is a platform based on ancient gift economy,where people from so many countries besides South Africa participates.
I have been long time in these economies,will soon in the gifting community, and it brings dignity and financial freedm to so many,to follow those dreams and do in life what they really want to be,and live a life accordingly to their values and dreams.
It creates ties and such an authentic community.
So if you want to set any example,set it by your own experience. Gifting is not for everyone, because it means assuming your responsability and taking on what it takes to create the life you want.
You connect with others,you support,you helps, you communicate and create something beneficial for others and yourself.
Nothing ilegal here, no transfer of money on the platform,it is all peer to peer.
So if you don’t agree with it,that’s fine and you are entitled. No need to rubbish people that like working together for better causes.
My best wishes to you 🙂
Stealing money from people through your shitty little gifting scams has nothing to do with sOcIeTy MoViNg FoRwArD.
Whether you participate in gifting scams or not, the math is the same. The majority of participants are guaranteed to lose money.
None of that bullshit waffle changes the fact the majority of participants in gifting schemes are guaranteed to lose money.
1. Thanks for confirming you’re a serial scammer.
2. However “many” earn financial freedom from gifting schemes, many more lose it because they are stolen from. Gifitng schemes are a zero-sum equation.
Gifting schemes are illegal the world over.
Nah. Fuck you and your gifting scam lies. Have a nice day.
Hi Veronica,
I can see where you are coming from and I totally share your motivation/intention. Any concept promising a fair(er) distribution of wealth is worth looking into. But a promise (which actally turns out to be a lie) is to be looked at before you blindly fall into the trap.
Obviously you haven’t done your research – I did. GL IS another scam where the founders fork in the high position money, over and over and over again.
If you can answer 2 questions for me – I was wrong and I am in:
1. How can you tell who exactly is on which position? Is there a world wide ‘Transparency List’ continously updated or …how???
2. Where is the mistake in the math AntiMLM has shown a bit further up in this thread?
Believe me, I am truly disappointed that there is NO WAY GL is what it says it is (but please convince me otherwise).
So far I only came across one brilliant ‘system’ which truly makes this a better world: Bitcoin. But I’m still searching for more!
Isn’t it interresting… Well let’s see if it really is a scam…if it is well congratulations…I will let you know…
If it’s not… I will take a trip or two to the Caribbean…… Maybe to Japan…I mean… Really… What is a $100 between friends…
Math is math. Gift of Legacy is a gifting scam, there’s no need to “let’s see”.
Irrespective of whether you personally steal money, Gift of Legacy is still a gifting scam.
You’d just go from being a majority victim to scammer yourself.
How much an individual loses in a gifting scam is irrelevant to it being a gifting scam.
Stealing from your friends just about sums up the scumbag mindset of a gifting scammer though.
Working for me! Only 15 people on each of 4 boards. Everyone gets the directed chance to get to the Legend position and receive their 8 gifts directly into their own bank acct. or wallet.
Only condition is to have 2 like minded people join them. No fees costs or anything.
Even has a ‘hold system’ for those individuals slowing down everyones progress through boards- so with patience, there’s no blockages!
Play the game respect and follow the rules and it works.
And fifteen more for another four boards. And each of those fifteen need fifteen more payments for each of their four boards and… congratulations, you and your scamming friends just financially fucked a ton of people.
Until recruitment inevitably collapses. Math is math.
Except for your victims. But hey, so long as you’re stealing money right?
So an eternal chain aka chainletter scam aka pyramid scam that is illegal in South Africa and worldwide
Thanks for confirming your participation in an illegal pyramid scheme
They have a new website … is it the beginning of the end?
Gift of Legacy’s original website is still active.
Original scammers in South Africa targeting Russia, Italy and Germany now (Alexa).
Please get all you facts together.
The Legality of GL – there is alot of negative comment on Internet..to discredit GL.
FSCA…financial sector Control Authority…GL went to see this governing body, a three hour meeting, and showed them full presentation and they will be issuing a report that GL is NOT a Ponzi scheme or a Pyramid scheme.
Gift of Legacy is a gifting scheme. Gifting schemes are illegal because they’re scams in which the majority of participants lose money.
Has nothing to do with nEgAtIvItY.
We heard this bullshit before with MTI. Unless you can produce a letter from the FSCA giving Gift of Legacy a rubber-stamp, you’re full of shit.
And even if you, Gift of Legacy is still a gifting scam in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
Uh, no.
I contacted the FSCA already to confirm that claim, there was no such meeting or report, in fact they weren’t even aware of Gift of Stupidity till I checked in. But they did thank me for making them aware.
As a sidenote for you uneducated simpletons, they’d need approval from the Reserve Bank for this scheme, which your chiefs Chris and Candace would know if they used their communal braincell to try make it look legit.
They won’t get approval from either though, FSCA doesn’t approve pyramid scams, and the SARB doesn’t approve Endless Chain scams.
Get YOUR facts straight before you claim nonsense.
Gift of legacy is helping many people. Gifts are miracles in this community.
People saying things that they think but they know nothing about gol…
Stealing money from people through gifting scams isn’t helping them. You’re helping yourself.
Yes it’s common knowledge that gifting scammers have a hard time comprehending basic math.
Nonetheless we’ll continue to beat you over the head with it in the hope 2+2=4 eventually sinks in.
You being desperate and financially uneducated is not an excuse for joining a scheme where 86% of people are guaranteed not to get pay-outs eventually ie. their money back even.
I’ve already seen the complaints in groups regarding boards dying. Thats the end-result for all of them eventually.
I’ll refer you to an earlier post on the maths of the scam,stop being delusional:
Calling it a gift is a lie you’re telling yourselves to feel better about stealing from poor people. Money is not infinite,Gift of Dumbasses does not have an endless supply of dumbasses or money.
It’s also not a Stokvel or a Communal Loan Scheme,so stop trying to equate it to such things that also require registration and auditing
Gift of Legacy is a scam and for the reasons stated above.
But the amazing thing is that comparing that 86% failure rate to some “legitimate” MLM’s income disclosures, a shabby bald faced pyramid scheme is more likely to pay you than a company like Monat.
All hail the DSA.
Many on GL gift others a place to come into GL to assist with uplifting themselves and others. So far from trying to scam others, people are trying to uplift others and themselves.
If there is any scam involved it is certainly not the intention of the majority of people in GL, who are kind, loving and giving and have sincere motives.
So where is this scam? The only place it can be, is if the algorithm to fill boards from the oldest to the newest does not work as stated and instead only fills up certain boards over and over again.
Is this possible? As some boards have been stuck for awhile, one would have to wait and see as the system is fairly new.
If this is the case, it is a tragedy for such a brilliant gifting concept and will cause irreparable damage to trust for so many people. It would be a very foolish move on behalf of the leaders who will tarnish their reputation for good.
Yourself yes, but you’re not “uplifting” others by stealing from them through gifting scams.
You can’t speak for the majority of people in Gift of Legacy.
The scam is revealed through basic math: the majority of participants in gifting schemes lose money.
Secondary to the mathematical scam are scammers such as yourself running around trying to explain away gifting fraud.
1. I wrote this review almost six months ago. Gift of Legacy isn’t new.
2. Math is math, all gifting schemes collapse when recruitment inevitably dies down.
There’s nothing brilliant about stealing from people.
Unfortunate but not inaccurate way of looking at it. But then again it’s choosing being stabbed or shot, both suck and i’d avoid them if possible.
You do that to prevent the Pyramid collapsing earlier. If it was a Gift you wouldn’t be expecting more money than you put in. Stop being disingenuous.
Standing on the backs of others might uplift you, but doesn’t help the ones you stand on.
Perhaps,but financially inept people profiting off the stupidity off their peers does not indemnify them. And they are definitely not “giving” by expecting a return.
No, for the tops of the higher boards to get filled up you need reinvestment from lower boards, it wouldn’t help to fill only a small number. You are thinking too small.
Gifting scams all end the same, boards get stuck, eventually they all do.
It’s an 80 year old scam, it’s not a new concept
Oh please, your “leaders” were in multiple other scams like MTI and MMM, you don’t give a shit. There’s almost always a bigger idiot to join next time for you to profit from.
Just be honest that you use “gifting” to quiet down your guilty conscience,and the 86% that will lose money you couldn’t care less about. So much for “giving”.
It is pretty amazing that you can set up a pyramid scheme where 90%+ of people lose money, and it’s completely legal as long as you attach some crappy product to it and get people to make pity sales to their friends and family to generate the illusion of “retail”.
However, the idea that GOL has a lower house edge than the likes of Monat is dubious. It’s 86% of *positions* that lose money, which is not necessarily the same thing as people.
Let’s take AntiMLM’s numbers and assume the scheme only reaches the second level before collapsing. It looks as if 7 people have got a payout and 49 people lost their money.
However, we all know that the admins in these schemes stuff themselves into all the top positions to maximise the amount extracted.
If those 7 winners are in reality all the same person, which they are, the failure rate increases from 86% to 49/50 = 98%.
Admins will continue rigging the pyramid for as long as new money is coming in so the same logic applies no matter how big it becomes.
This is the “sign up your dead cat” ruse that we’ve discussed earlier. Idiots figure that if they buy two positions in the matrix instead of one, they only need 6 victims rather than 7 so their chances of winning are higher.
It doesn’t change the math because it’s just as impossible for everyone to find 6 victims who also have to find 6 victims as 7. Same applies no matter what number you use.
This is the Blockchain of Gifting. Period.
You dumbass that are not even able to spend 15 minutes to understand that the system is peer to peer with no commissions to board.
For sure the inventors are in the Platinum and Gold Board, but also Bitcoin Inventors are. Stay safe. This game is not for Jellyfish.
This “game” is an illegal scam, but I suspect you know that already.
Sorry not sorry to expose your little scheme, low-life.
bLoCkChAiNnnnnnnnnnnn. Guy wouldn’t know blockchain if it hit him in the face.
How about you spend 15minutes to go through the math instead of 2seconds typing up word-vomit excuses for theft.
Only honest thing here is you admitting the tops of the pyramids are stacked with your lEaDeRps.
Anyone who claims that GoL went to the FSCA and that the FSCA said it’s not a scam is completely full of shit.
The FSCA was contacted directly recently regarding GoL as well as The Prosperity Grid. This was the FSCA’s response:
No this game is for idiots with an IQ of less than 60.
It is even worse than Malthusian stated. The top 15% of the positions are held by the perps of this illegal program, their family members and close friends. They all have multiple accounts.
The next 15% is for the top promoters of this illegal program and their family members and close friends. They too all have multiple accounts.
Less than 2% of the general members ever get any gift.
Been exposing and helping shut down these illegal gifting scams for more than 18 years. Have helped shut down more than SOTTOUNPONTE is old. But then what do I know compared to this financial genius.
I bet SOTTOUNPONTE is getting all excited that the Easter Bunny is coming soon.
Further correspondence with FSCA:
Managed to get a copy of one of the Voicenotes of Chris lying outright (this was sometime around 15 Feb):
vocaroo.com/1D2TUurGbFm9
(Auto captioned from the Audio)
Oddly no notice from the FSCA on them not being a scam a month later. Naughty naughty Chris.. FSCA are very quick to release notices when they say they will.
Didn’t Cheri Ward shovel the same shit about the FSCA? Right up until they declared MTI to be a scam. (Then she lashed out at them and claimed it was all lies)
Same vibes with Gift of Legacy’s Chris.
At least they had a meeting, even though Cheri’s grasp of English clearly caused a disconnect in understanding when somebody says A but she understood B.
Ah fair play. So we’re going with FSCA knows about Gift of Legacy but there’s been no meeting between the two?
They’ve been reported a few times, but I think claiming FSCA approval is a bit of a no-no for flying under the radar.
Personally i’m quite impressed how Chris tries to equate a bunch of Micro-pyramids stacked one on the other to “not be a ponzi or a pyramid because of the size of the boards”. The mental gymnastics is quite impressive.
Yeah that was a bit strange. It’s not a gifting scheme because x people are in our matrix!
Dunno if he’s dumb or just playing the clearly dumber Gift of Legacy participants.
Chris: You guys look busy
FSCA: You wouldn’t believe
Chris: Should I come back later?
FSCA: We’ll call you. Please take a pen and rate us on Trustpilot
Chris: We had a 3-hour long meeting and the FSCA was like “wow totally not a pyramid”. 10/10 would meet again.
Hi, can someone explain the math, or rather its absurdity, behind this type of scheme (“airplane game”) like I’m 12 years old?
I’m trying to save a friend from one and I’d like to really be able to break it down for them. Thanks!
You lose $100, people join after you, you steal their money. That’s the simple math behind every gifting scheme.
See:
https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/gift-of-legacy-review-rebooted-100-gifting-pyramid-scheme/#comment-448382
It’s also patently illegal and an obvious pyramid scheme with mandatory recruitment.
Some of the organisers have been involved in “Kindred heart” and other pyramid schemes before. They make money by positioning themselves on the high positions.
The time relevant language used is speaking to your heart but really, by participating you steal from those joining after you. The scheme has a natural ending based on simple maths and tons of people – 86% to be exact – will lose their money without any returns.
here is why:
Gift Of Legacy is a simple matrix-based gifting scheme like thousands before
The only income it has is from those joining. It’s not miraculously multiplying money.
3 basic qualifying criteria for a pyramid scam:
1) requires recruitment to join
2) cycles through levels as more
3) requires payment to join
If 0 people join as of today, how many people won’t get paid?
Matrix-based gifting schemes are less common now (most of the scammers have moved onto crypto), but were a dime a dozen 5-10 years ago.
Constant recruitment is required to keep a gifting scheme afloat. This combines gifting with a pyramid scheme model.
The longer the scam runs, the more people are needed to keep funding it – as with all pyramid scams
When recruitment inevitably collapses, so too does the gifting scheme.
Being a matrix-based gifting scheme, Gift Of Legacy’s collapse will be preceded by its matrices stalling.
Once enough matrices have stalled, that’s the end of the scam.
Gifting pyramid schemes always collapse because you need seven, they need seven, those need seven… and a few “need seven” levels later we’re talking more people than exist on Earth.
Everyone who doesn’t “have seven people under them” loses money. Math guarantees this is the majority of participants roped into the scam.
The longer the scam runs the more people it requires to keep feeding it – as with all pyramid scams
On the numbers side of things you have $100 going in and $42,700 coming out. Additional cycles pull out even more funds.
Without accounting for additional cycles, the math behind Gift of Legacy is already ridiculous.
One person needs 427 $100 gifting payments to withdraw across all four tiers. Those 427 people need 427 $100 gifting payments each, they need 427 $100 gifting payments each and… pretty soon you’re looking at numbers running into the billions.
Let’s do some simple calculations with 1 board – on the left side we see how many people need to be paid, on the right side how many among them are needed to fully pay the left side
1 person to pay + 7 people needed
7 to pay + 49 needed
49 to pay + 343 needed
343 to pay + 2401 needed
2401 to pay + 16807 needed
16807 to pay + 117 649 needed
117 649 to pay + 823 543 needed
823 543 to pay + 5 764 801 needed
5 764 801 to pay + 40 353 607 needed
From here you can see there is a constant increase in how many are needed to continue paying out.
Remember that people are not infinite and money is not infinite, so at some point you will not be able to recruit new people.
When you reach this point in the bottom line, 823 543 people have been paid out and another 6 million have not and never will.
This figure gets worse with each step/board. For every person who gets paid, 7 others risk not getting paid.
Don’t “explain” it to them. Pyramid schemes are cults, and victims perceive attacks on the scheme as an attack on them, including factual explanations.
What you see as the facts, they see as an attempt to stop them getting rich and solving all their problems.
Instead, ask them for explanations, e.g. “But how can they find eight new members for every person that gets paid?” You can’t change their mind, you can only encourage them to keep thinking until they change it themselves.
It probably still won’t work but it’s got a better shot at it.
The FSCA has released a statement.
@Oz
FSCA warns the public against Gift of Legacy
Somebody must be lying though, didn’t Chris have a meeting and get the all-clear from them? I’m flabbergasted that they would warn people against a legit scheme 🙁
Thanks. Gimme a bit, finishing off a math heavy review (illegal lottery yay). Don’t wanna mess it up.

How the board placements work as per GL 16 Feb 2022.
You go into a perpetual state basically because you are now repeating the process and you finished a first cycle on board x,y, or z and that makes you a perpetual participant rather than being on a perpetual board.
The oldest boards that are now being filled up are dated 6/1/2022 which is the date the system launched.
There is no special algorithm that is actually making a difference. With the no of perpetual users on the system if it was filling up the oldest boards, everyone from KH would have moved by now and not be stuck.
The talk that people aren’t putting in enough is simply BS or that their attitude makes a difference is BS too. They are simply disheartened at not seeing what was promised work when they have brought in their 2 people and those people are not place fillers as they suggest. What it tells you is that no-one else on their board is even trying anymore.
You can be pretty sure of whose boards are filling up beautifully.
Unless they rectify this and fast, GL will be just another one for the history books. Just another SCAM.
Mandatory recruitment…chainletter scam…aka pyramid scam…
I’ll say it again:
People are not infinite.
Money is not infinite.
Shitty gifting scam is shitty and definitely not infinite.
Whether “they rectify this” or not, it’s just another SCAM. It always was.
So I chatted to some programmers and it is possible to put code in GL that only fills certain boards and not others. This would explain why there is no transparency and all communication has been shut down.
The programmers find it hard to believe that any developers would lose their integrity and fall for greed but greed is so common place these days.
I feel sad for all those that joined GL with high hopes.
All those whose boards are stuck should insist on an audit being done on the system. The type of money involved warrants it.
So this one’s collapsed then?
Here’s your audit: Math is math. Recruitment inevitably slowed down and sorry for your loss.
Lol, anybody that thinks a scam based on a 50-year old chainletter scheme can be salvaged with Audits should stick to Santa Clause and Unicorns, at least those are half believable.
Guessing their “Free Giving to Charity by donating them a spot in our scam matrix that a member still has to pay for” hasn’t drummed up the business they need:
youtu.be/AXX5toQgtIE
Dumping their payment links here for future reference
(Doesn’t seem to be a registered Nonprofit either)
BTC link got 1 donation, sent to Luno for some ZAR a week later.
They recruited some friends of mine. What a shame. One guy was coming to me with this sh*t. He said, he take two rounds with 800 income.
Maybe this is true, but its stealing and not confirm with my attitude to such systems! i will not steal from other!
Recruiting in germany must be high this times!
Oz.. your gaslighting cracks me up. But honestly your mathematical breakdown is sadly point on.
I would love to hear your take on (Ozedit: derails removed)
My take is if it has nothing to do with Gift of Legacy and MLM then spam-bin.
I fail to understand why people do not do ground searches first before trusting a crook. All you have to do is Google “Chris Hatting Fraud” and full explanation pops up.
The level of confidence of these crooks is so high that they use their own stained names and show their faces as if they may have been crooks in the past but now they are kleen with Gift of Legacy and the BS they dish in the various webinars…
Fact : they manipulate the boards to be legends first as admins control the website. They therefore get rewarded first as in all piramid schemes.
Because they have ventured in global marketing, I am affraid that they will travel far this time before the scheme eventually colapses…
Are there no authorities on top of this scam to shut down the website ?
Makes one think!
All these platforms are scams, not 99% but 100% scams, no matter if it’s gifting platforms like GOL, ore mining or trading or whatever BS new platforms they come up with.
And then the sideline groups making like they helping each other, helping the community..better future blah blah…BS!!!
some are so desperate that they even bring religion and faith in the mix, so called pastors lmao false ponzi prophets rather, hope they burn in hell!!…
bitlocity have a group called “investors of faith” lol…
anyway this is about GOL ande yes just like KH 100% scam, some do make money yes!!
top of the pyramid and the leaders, and they will make promises and milk you for every last penny and get you to recruit friends and family, they good, i will give them that, but their day will come!!!
Its a pyramid scheme.
A free peace of advice. If you dont understand the product/service being advertised to you, then you are the product.
Thank You !!! Thank You !!! Thank You !!!!
Wow I am so grateful for the info as I dodged a bullet by almost being pulled into this scam.
I was approached by a friend who explained the GOL concept – I immediately indicated any scheme that requires you to “bring in 2 additional people to enjoy the wealth” sounds like a ponzi scheme (as the basic math never adds up – with a growing scale of participants ….someone always loose money – normally the massive chunk at the bottom of the scheme).
I got told there is a website and even got sent the power point presentation. My healthy mind again said this can’t be legal; and a simple google search brought this article up.
I also got hold of another current member who shared his boards running dead; the overdrive to actively recruit new members as the panic sets in (people start to realise they have been scammed and the bottom is busy falling out) – the words used was “every man/woman for themselves at the moment just trying to get their money out which they put in”.
BIG THANKS for everyone’s input (and even the LOL moments – brilliant) – forever grateful.
Lesson: When your healthy mind tells you “It is too good to be true” and the math don’t add up – LISTEN !
Sanity prevails,and indeed,it’s illegal,and anybody joining now is getting fed to sharks to save themselves
The following message was just posted in the gol Telegram channel:
Thanks for the update!
In South Australia in the 70s (I think) there was an Airplane Ponzi scheme that collapsed and many thousands, including my Father, lost their ‘Seat Payment’.
A dear friend from Canada has just tried to recruit me and I had to inform her that participating in a Chain-letter scheme or trying to recruit others to participate in such a scheme is illegal and there are serious consequences for such participation.
That is just too rich a field to play in.
Yeah the original chainletter scam in the 80s if Wikipedia is accurate:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airplane_game
Love that somebody added Gift of Legacy and The Prosperity Grid to the Wiki entry.
BE AWARE
After decimating the GOL platform with various tricks to strengthen the leaders abundance, including fast tracking, trickle up and lastly removal of peoples profiles for so called non compliance.
Candice and Chris have now moved onto market on social media etc, their latest scam called Colour our world and New Earth Economy.
colorourworld.global/neweartheconomyglobal-team
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR GREED, DISHONESTY AND ABILITY TO CON THE PUBLIC.
Oh wow,it’s almost like it’s exactly as we predicted.
Thanks for the update!
So I’ve been looking at Gift of Legacy and did the math and indeed, it takes 427 participants to get through the 4 boards. However, this article doesn’t address the perpetual placements on the boards nor the Timeframe it would take to complete one cycle.
Stating that it would take Billions of people for this strategy to work is inaccurate because it’s leaving out those two key factors.
But let’s examine the assertions of the author. The first part of their math is correct. At the end you will come out with $42,700 US. $42,700 / $100 per entrant = 427 people.
If all 427 people were trying to get through the boards in a month or two or even 6 months, then yes, exponentially it would grind to a halt because most people don’t understand math formulas, especially exponentials with “what ifs”.
They can’t easily figure it out in their heads because they don’t know how algorithms work and a confused mind says no. Fair enough.
So, the author left out any mention of the perpetual placements of the program so let’s consider the perpetual placements first.
If it took all 427 people one year to progress through all 4 boards and upon completing each board they reenter a perpetual position on the board they just completed, basically the same 427 people will re-populate each new board in a beginning position. Make sense?
Of course there will be new people joining the program but the same algorithm will kick in for them as well. OK, that’s the simple version, but there are other factors to take into consideration as well.
Let’s say it takes 2 cycles to get the first perpetual cycle going full steam ahead and it takes one year to complete each cycle…
427 (1st cycle) x 427 (2nd cycle) = 182,329 participants in 2 years
How many per year? Divide by 2.
182,329 / 2 = 91,165 people per year.
Now, there are about 380,000,000 in North America and approx 750,000,000 people in Europe. That’s 1,129,000,000 people. (1.129 Billion) Let’s assume half of them are adults.
So, let’s do the math. 1,129,000,000 / 50% = 564,500,000 Million. So, 91,165 per year, divided by 564,500,000 = .16149% of this population PER YEAR! Less than 2% Of just these two regions of the world, per year.
When you break it down realistically, it could easily work to the benefit of anyone in countries where gifting is lawful.
I’m not trying to convince anyone to do anything they’re not comfortable with, but I’d have no problem taking a chance on those percentages.
People play the lotto with much lower probabilities of winning, yet people spend hundreds of $$ month after month without any reasonable chance of ever winning anything.
Anyway, it’s always smart to really research any of these kinds of programs. I’ve been in a number of network marketing programs over the years and understand how they all work. I’m still in one, mostly because of good quality products that I want.
Gifting programs aren’t new and they can work to everyones benefit if they are set up properly and run properly. I’ve seen a number of them over the last 25 years but didn’t like what I saw when I did my due diligence. The numbers usually don’t work.
I’m going to try Gift of Legacy though mostly because the numbers do seem to work… I like the way they’ve got the algorithms built into the system. (Ozedit: derails removed)
1. “perpetual placements” are re-entries, funded by new money.
2. The review states 427 positions are required because participants can have multiple positions.
You went off and broke that down into 427 people and created baloney math around it (see below)
3. Your “population” math is flawed because it only works on the assumption everyone on the planet is willing to get scammed in a gifting scheme.
The vast majority of the world’s population has a basic enough understanding of math to not fall for gifting scams. The biggest MLM Ponzi schemes typically top just over a million actual participants. The biggest MLM gifting schemes fall far short of this.
Gift of Legacy is an illegal gifting scheme in which one position requires 427 new positions to cycle out as advertised. This is not sustainable for obvious reasons.
You in fact did not,as you gave no indication where this infinity money comes from that people will keep “putting in”
Endless chain scams are illegal everywhere,there is 0 “lawful”
There is no chance taking,it’s theft and fraud
People playing the lottery do so not expecting gains,and know the majority will not win
Pyramid whores gonna pyramid whore
Airplane game scams are 5 decades old. Still the same con. There is no “run properly” they all will collapse and leave more poor than “winners”
Did you get dropped as a baby multiple times?

The next person to try and justify a ponzi by referring to lotteries deserves a bucket of cold water over their head.
Lotteries exist because as part of their licencing they are required to give a large portion of what they make to good causes. They are also heavily taxed and bring the tax burden down for everyone else as a result.
You know going in that you at best have a one in 14,000,000 chance of winning. If you are doing that as an investment instead of spending your spare change, you are being taxed on your stupidity.
Gifting schemes are illegal and destroy lives. Fact.
How many years, down the road, and people are still getting pulled. They prey on the desperate, people who don’t have access to the internet.
The promises they make, the lies to show how much money they are going to make.
Unfortunately my daughter has been sucked in, hock line and sinker. all the little subsidiary’s, from the first lie (why that one collapsed) this one is a winner! same binary program, different product.
Once you have caught your fish, they will just keep swimming, just to try and get back their original investment. The type of person, who sites at a slot machine in a casino, just one more pull.
I wish I could help bring these people down.
Lets hope the arrest of Cornelius Johannes Steynberg, the founder and chief executive officer of Mirror Trading International Proprietary (associated to gift of legacy) will have the same effect of a pyramid upside down, to collapse the whole scheme.
a word of advice to South Africans, if you have to buy in with American dollars, know its a scam, and eventually SARS will see you.
Basing an investment, on foreign currency, Just like that, it can be frozen or collapse.
Its so sad, to watch! People addicted to greed.
Update on Gift of Legacy (GL),
Here we go again. Bigtime Scammers are on the loose in Gift of Legacy.and there names are Bernice Venter, from South Africa, and Raquel Welch from Maryland in United States of America. Let me tell you about Bernice Venter who claims that she is seeing a psychologist.
What is wrong with Bernice she is a Con Artist always crying wolf. Raquel Welch is a big time Con Artist who stacking the boards in Gift of Legacy with fake names so she and her family members can receiving a multi-income at other people’s exspense.
If you have any contact with these two ladies, do not participate in any programs with them because you will lose you money.
Its so sad, to watch! People addicted to greed and don’t care about other people.
Where all of you guys now? Because this algorithm still runnig because the same people are rejoining the boards again and again and again.
The same people cycling isn’t possible without New suckers signing up to lose money.
SimilarWeb stats are a bit depressing. Third-world countries getting pillaged.
Lol, imagine thinking you’re gonna get rich by wanking eachother off.
Why One person needs 427 $100 gifting payments to withdraw across all four tiers? it doesn’t make sense to me because on each tire people pay more so you can walk out with 42,700, otherwise can someone please explain how did you come to this conclusion
it like you need 8 people to pay $100 for 8 people $100 each which will result with 8 people with $300 left each (800 – 100 – 400) and they will join the silver plan you will receive 3,200 because they have already invest $400 each doesn’t that make sense?
$100 is the only new money entering the scheme. The rest of the funds are recycled $100 payments being shuffled up to admins/recruiters.
Your Maths is off… badly.
