"still going strong" or not depends on how you interprete it. As such investment scehems are no longer new in Malaysia, many people no longer believe them and those who are new and believe go for schemes that gave much higher returns. In fact, SC announced that STG wuill open in Sunway, TS, MV, Genting and even tie up with Touch n Go. They announced in April but until today most doesn't come true, so you can guess whether they are strong or not. Definitely, their performance have not been as good as they anticipated.
There are many conditions not mentioned in their website too. One of my friend noticed a "condition" in the agreement "hidden" earlier and believed my opinion that it is a scam.
Even till today, they don't have a MLM license. Actually from the way they operate, you can tell whether it is a scam or not.

Sionce your skeptism grew, you should caution your dear friend/s. Otherwise, in future they could blame you for not doing so since you have read this thread. Thats what friends are for...
I have cautioned them and have sent them the link to this forum and talked to them... just hope that that's enough to convince them...as someone mentioned there are a lot of smart people reading and contributing to this forum, but unfortunately there are also a lot of average Joes who are not financial-savvy and thus becomes prime fodders for such 'schemes' that promises lucrative returns. They're lured by the prospect of doubling their investment while being offered 'commissions 'if they find others to join. All the promised rewards make them oblivious to the huge risks, and when cautioned about the risks involved, they stand by the adage of "No risk no gain". Unfortunately, that's human nature - greed.
