A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered. Pyramid schemes have existed for at least a century. In addition, other methods of conducting business known as multi-level marketing (MLM) and as "matrix schemes" often closely resemble pyramid schemes (although unlike pyramid schemes, which are almost always frauds, MLM and matrix schemes are in many cases regarded — at least legally — as legitimate business methods).

Most pyramid schemes are attempts to confuse potential consumers into complicated but convincingly fool-proof money making scams.

Where do we draw the line between Referal programs and Pyramid schemes? I know lots of referral programs offer something close to a pyramid scheme but they are genuine.

Referral programs are not pyramid they are network marketing. Network marketing is a very effective way of reducing advertising cost and making people work for themselves. Network marketing is very big here in UK there are companies that have built multimillion and billion pound businesses through this advertising methog e.g herballife, Kleeneze, Telco Global communication, and many many many more and anyone can work for them.
