NOTE FROM THE FORUM:

It is suggested you do not send anything to these people.

We have left this here as a warning and example of what these emails look like.


**********


PAYPAL VERIFIES THAT THIS $6 INVESTMENT SCHEME IS 100% LEGAL AND IS A BIG HIT THIS YEAR. SEE THEIR NOTE BELOW OR ASK THEM DIRECTLY...GREAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT! Webink and Stormpay are bootlegs of PayPal. PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with 96.2 million account members worldwide. Available in 55 countries and regions around the world, buyers and sellers on eBay, online retailers, online businesses, as well as traditional offline businesses are transacting with PayPal.

Message from PayPal:

"Dear Member, it has come to our attention that there is a PayPal scheme floating around. You may have heard of or seen the $6 scheme. You may have even taken part in it. Well, we have been asked a lot of questions about this scheme. The answer is: yes it does work and yes it is safe to use providing you follow the rules. It is legal and has made a big hit on the internet this year. If you would like to take part in this scheme or would like a bit more information then please see the attached file that was kindly donated to us. Thank you for using PayPal!"
Read on…


REQUIREMENTS

1)An email address
2)A Premier or Business PayPal account

STEP 1- Set Up Your FREE PayPal Account (https://www.paypal.com.). Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account (And not just a PERSONAL account) if people want to use a credit card to pay.

STEP 2 - Sending PayPal Money. "It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive." Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PayPal to each of the six email addresses listed below. Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* (This keeps the program 100% legal so please don't forget!) (Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal account yet, use this link to open one in your name. https://www.paypal.com).

Email Addresses:

1) birdon7@yahoo.com
2) Devilangel266@hotmail.com
3) kattia23@yahoo.com
4) alfearl_2003@yahoo.com
5) amoorem@aol.com
6) claire_sweetiepie@hotmail.com

Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL. You are creating a service! If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws.

STEP 3 - Adding Your Email Address After You Send Your Six $1.00 Payments.
It's your turn to add your email address to the list! Take the 1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up one (6 becomes 5 & 5 becomes 4, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one used in your PayPal account) as 6) on the list. **MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.**

STEP 4 - The Pure Joy of Receiving PayPal Money! You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200 newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make- as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed. Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank account is being confirmed.

HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS

Step 1) Simply 'copy' and 'paste' this this letter onto a blank notepad file so that you can add your email to the list and save your new notepad file as a .txt file.

Step 2) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and search for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussion groups, etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Fill in the Subject and paste a copy of the letter to the message body, then post.

Step 3) You're done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! **JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.** There are tons of new people joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. As long as people follow through with sending out $6.00, it works!

HAVE FUN!!

I tried this out once....didnt get a single penny.

Its not a quick way to get rich, and from the people i know who have tried it out, didnt even get as far as their money back. I would say probably a 1 in 100 chance of it working for you.

Its just another chain letter scheme brought into the 21st century using email rather than snail mail, its flawed because it relies on everyone being honest and not just putting their name at the top of the list. ARSE!

sorry garyk but i must disagree. The post above states that you send $1 to every email on the list, and THEN YOU REMOVE the top one and send it on.

If you place your email at the top, then you are not going to get alot of money...

Sorry mitov, I didnt read it all to be honest but just skimmed it and thought SCAM! Remove/add top/bottom it really doesnt matter you are relying on alot of people to follow the instructions.

Hi my name is kattia, and i am one on the list about this POST make money online. my address is kattia23@yahoo.com i tried to do money doing this because i read about it on many forums and also peoplel send me eamils saying that they show about this thing on opprah's show and also the paypal suport it and that is legal, but the true is that paypal does not support this and also this thing does not work at all. i tried it once and it never give me any money back even a 1$ so do not doing, also because of this post i have being having problems with paypal (they are going to close my account if i do not take my email address from the list) because they said that i am violating PayPals Acceptable Use Policy regarding MLM, Pyramid and Matrix Programs. The Policy prohibits the use of PayPal to send or receive payments for any form of multi-level marketing programs (including online payment randomizers), as well as matrix, pyramid and Ponzi schemes, get rich quick schemes, or other similar ventures. SO DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THE PEOPLE ON THE LIST BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

THANKS YOU
