Nothing fishy. I know someone who just doesn't learn that these investments are scams. He's lost his shirt more than once. People are just too tempted by these supposedly "high-yield investments" to realize that they are too good to be true. They don't seem to be moved by the logic that a truly wealthy person wouldn't come within a hundred feet of these scams.

It's the same mentality that leads people to go to Vegas every year, certain that, THIS time, they'll beat the house and walk home a millionaire.
