KUALA LUMPUR: Divorce, custody battles, police reports and fist fights. These are just some of the repercussions in families ripped apart due to pyramid schemes.

Of the hundreds of cases annually where people claim to have lost their investments to multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, a majority of them had been convinced to part with their money by their own family members, says MCA Public Services and Complaints chief Datuk Seri Michael Chong.
