hi everyone, just this minute had this sent to me by an email;, its a big read but worth it! ANOTHER CON ! STAY AWAY. has anyone else had this?

Subject: hello! LET's Make some DOSH!!!

Dear eBay Member,

I am sending you this email as you are a past contact of mine on eBay,through PayPal.Please do not delete this before reading it in full - it is not a scam and is not junk mail!
Â
Â
It actually works. You will note from my feedback that I am a genuine user of eBay and PayPal.

We are all eBay users to make money or save money and I feel sure that we an
both benefit financially from the following plan.


Yes, you like myself have no doubt had this idea put forward before, but not in connection with 71 million PayPal accounts. PayPal have also admitted that this is legal.

All it involves is a one off payment of £3.00 and approximately 15 to 20 minutes of your time.


These are some of the emails and proof that I came across which finally made me decide that I wanted to try this.

'What an amazing plan. I followed the instructions just 3 weeks ago, and

although I haven't made 10 grand yet, I am already up to £6,135. I am

absolutely gob smacked" - Alan Humphries, Leicester



"Well, what can I say? I sent out 40 emails like the plan said then I just

forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything
would come of it, but I checked my PayPal account a week later and there was

over £3000.00 in it!!! After 30 days I now have over £11,000 to spend" -

Lisa McDonald,
Northampton



"I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal
account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to £7,449. At first

I thought there had been some kind of error!" - Richard Barrie, Cirencester



"I was very sceptical when I first read this e-mail, nearly deleted it but

then I thought about it & decided to give it a go! I spend more than £3 per

week on the lottery, so what's a one-off payment of £3 going to matter?!!
I've got my fingers crossed that I'll have some extra spending money in my

PayPal account, by the time I go away in
July!" - Dawn Brown,
Leicestershire. (PS.Wishing good luck & fortune to you
all!)



If you are eager like I am by this stage, then read the instructions

outlined below that are from the original e-mail. It is really so easy to

do - then you can just sit back and wait for those payments to go into your
PayPal account.

INSTRUCTIONS

The first thing you need to do is send a £3.00 payment from your PayPal

account to the FIRST email address in the list below, along with a note

saying "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST". Instructions on how to send a payment
are under "SEND MONEY" at the Paypal site. It is very easy.


The current list is:

1Â pepi@cola15.freeserve.co.uk

2Â polominto@aol.com

3Â networthproperty@aol.com Â
4 owillingham@hotmail.com
Â
5 enaj@codehot.co.uk

Copy and paste this page (and make any necessary changes) Remove the email

address that you have paid from the number 1 spot, move all the others up a

space, and insert your own email address in the number 5 spot Then send the
page to as many people as you can.


A good way is to send it to all the people in your PayPal history. (GO
TO
HISTORY TAB AND THEN DOWNLOAD COMPLETE LIST OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE TRADED WITH)


ALL I WOULD LIKE TO DO NOW IS WISH YOU GOOD LUCK. IF YOU ARE STILL UNSURE OR

EVEN IF YOU WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS WORKS PLEASE READ ON


HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

When you send out your email, your email address will initially be at No 5 on the list. That is the best position that you can be in if you want to earn serious money.
The response rate for this program is much higher than any typical email marketing campaign for a number of reasons, which are explained later on. As long as you send out your emails to people whom are likely to be interested in this program, then on average you can expect a response of around 25%. But let's be extremely conservative and assume that
the average response rate is 12.5%! If you send out your 40 emails, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 =5 people). By the time your email address will have moved up to No 4 in the list,and this list will now have reached around 200 people (5 people x 40 emails = 200 people).

Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate (12.5% of 200 = 25 people) so you are now reaching around 1000 people (25 people x 40 emails = 1000) and you are now at No 3 on the list.

Out of those 1000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate (12.5% of 1000 = 125 people) so you are now reaching around 5000 people (125 people x 40 emails = 5000) and you are now at No 2 on the list.

Out of those 5000 people, you can expect at least 625 of them to participate
(12.5% of 5000 = 625 people) so you are now reaching around 25000 people

(625 people x 40 emails = 25000) and you are now at No 1 on the list.


Out of 25000 people, you can expect at least 3125 of them to participate (12.5% of 25000 = 3125 people) so since you are at the No 1 spot you can expect to receive around about £9,375 (3125 people x £3.00 = £9,375) so when your name hit's the No 1 spot, it will be YOUR turn to collect the money.

Over the course of 30 days, this money will be sent to you by a few thousand people just like yourself, who are willing to invest £3.00 and 20 minutes of their time to receive around £10,000 or more in cash. The first payments will arrive within a few days and then they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30
days (obviously this will depend on how quickly you act and how quickly people take you up on this offer and then pass it on). After that time, the volume of payments begin to taper off as your email is removed from the No. 1 position.


That's all you need to do! There will be around £10,000 in £3.00 payments waiting for you in your Paypal account within the next few weeks. £10,000 for just 20 minutes work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your Paypal account!


It's just that easy!!! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you?


Remember, the 12.5% example above is assuming that 35 out of the 40 people you send your email to will do absolutely nothing except delete your email.
However, if you follow the plan correctly and send your emails only to people who are likely to want to participate, you can expect a typical response-rate of around 25%. Hence, the 12.5% example is only given as a worst-case scenario.

Additionally, the above example assumes that each participant will only send out 40 emails. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1,000 emails instead of just 40! Believe me, many people will do this and much more!

Unlike many other MLM programs, this
5-LEVEL PROGRAM costs you only £3.00
which is much more realistic and provides much, much faster results? Only the first person on the list gets your £3.00 gift, but everyone in the list will rise to that Number 1 position as thousands of emails are being sent out. No cheating can occur (don't be fooled by claims that this system can be cheated) as PayPal only allows one account per person.
Because it is so easy, the response rate is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST - Internet email FAST, and you will start seeing dramatic results in less than one week! JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT MONTHS BILLS!


Thank you, and good luck in your ventures.


PS. You can download your PayPal history as a MS Excel file, this is a great way to quickly access all your stored email address's from your PayPal transactions, to send this email on to another (don't forget to remove the UK eBay fees email address if that appears). Once you've downloaded the history, locate the 2 columns that contain the email addresses you have sent to or received PayPal funds from. Then just cut and paste these into your
"Send to" list on your email.

GOOD LUCK...........

Yep

I received this months ago. There's so much of that s**t going round on EBay. Like the - You can get PSP, Xboxes etc for dirt cheap by buying my Ebook and Ipodsgiveaway and those pyramid schemes.

OK - I'll just give them money for nothing.

The general rule is if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is !

I wish there was some way of hijacking those peoples bank accounts and emptying them - LOL.

I actually participated in this but it was via regular mail. I came across it at the University I was attending and most of the people participating were students at the University. I worked out pretty well as I made around $2000 with a $5 investment. But I think this is completely different then doing it the way it was detailed above (via paypal to people you have no idea who they are)

[Babybean]

Yes, there must be a way of stopping it?

bloody crooks i hate scammers!

[iFownd]

Wow. Just... wow.

Who here has ever heard of a pyramid scheme? Apparently not...

Well they are HIGHLY ILLEGAL, and if caught you go to prison for a very long time.

I really can't believe I just read that people on this forum have actually participated in these. I thought this forum was a sanctuary from scammers and theives. I guess I was wrong!

Man you are soooo smart. I guess a $5 investment that turned into approximatly $1955 is a stupid decision. But you are right, I scammed and stole all that money from all the different people that participated. I actually went to each of the peoples houses that participated and either told them some sap story about my Grandma who is terminally ill or if they didn't fall for that I just robbed them.

This is quite a bit different then the paypal one. I probably knew or had classes with 85% of the participants. But who am I to say this was a good deal. You obviously are way smarter then I am!

[TTTrades]

iFownd is right.. it is illegal. And in this fashion it is highly traceable. Everyone on the list risks Paypal accounts freezing and investigation. Every email you send is a separate charge.
But, not everyone is educated about these schemes...

[Mark68025]

By the way it is not illegal if there is a purpose behind sending money to one another. Everyone at my school who participated stated that when they sent the money to a particular person that they were subscribing for a weekly newsletter. Which was true, since we are now all signed up for a weekly newsletter put out by the FBLA.

[TTTrades]

I am just saying the paypal thing is illegal. That is different... Pyramid Companies in general are not illegal...

[Babybean]

wow what a debate!! please stay away from the ebay paypal scams!
