Making Money With High Returns

Just received an sms from a long lost school time friend. It reads like this:

"Hi mate, I know you are busy making money to sustain monthly operations, enjoy life to the fullest and save for the good OLD days yet to come. So, 18 to 30% per year returns. Solid, secure & safe. Oh yes, legal, ethical and simple. Money makes money. 1.5 to 2.5% monthly return. Minimum RM2500. Think about that. Try moving from a 2.5% per year FD saver to a 2.5% per month investor. You are still young, you can't afford not to."

What do you guys think about this? As for me, it is another one of those get rich quick schemes. Somehow, these guys have very good marketeers and convince others easily. Pay attention to the words "...Solid, secure & safe. ... legal, ethical and simple". All the words needed for you to part with your money. But at the end when you realise that you have been conned, these words won't mean anything to you, will they?
