Unfortunately it's pretty typical for people involved in a pyramid sceme to call long lost friends. I think they must incourage it or something. And anytime they tell you its not one, that's usually a big red flag that it is.
I had a guy from church (a long, long time ago) who had me meet him at a restaurant to discuss a business deal (he was truly a nice guy, not a devious bone in his body). I didn't know about pyramid scemes then, so I was listening very intently. He got up to go to the restroom, and the elderly couple at the next table immediately started talking about it to me, saying these are bad things, be very careful, and stuff like that. I didn't end up participating in his deal, but I remember the first thing he said was, "This is not a pyramid sceme." Of course my response was, "What's a pyramid sceme?"
