The main distinguishing mark between an out and out Ponzi scheme and 
a Pyramid scheme is that most pyramid schemes purport to be selling 
some sort of product, catalogue, idea etc. This is done with various 
degrees of honesty and acheivability. While women selling make-up and 
pots and pans to their friends is the more honest end of the pyramid 
scheme, there is always a degree of dishonesty as the promoters must 
misrepresent the viability of the scheme and the earnings potential.

Ponzi schemes, on the other hand, are usually nothing more than a 
piece of blue sky, a tried and true scam. Oh well, fools and their 
money....
