Default No BS, this is a Pyramid Scheme

Both Ponzi schemes and pyramids are quite seductive because they may be able
to deliver a high rate of return to a few early investors for a short period
of time. Yet, both pyramid and Ponzi schemes are illegal because they
inevitably must fall apart. No program can recruit new members forever.
Every pyramid or Ponzi scheme collapses because it cannot expand beyond the
size of the earth's population.

Doesn't everyone want to make money? This is a paypal money making
pyramid
scheme. I'm not going to provide you with any outlandish claims of people
receiving $X amount of money in Y days. Have faith and this will work.
All you have to lose is $7.50 and a bit of your time.

This pyramid scheme works by paying $1.50 to 5 people on an e-mail list,
then
redistributing this letter with your e-mail address on the list. You may
have
seen a similar letter where people pay $1 to 5 people on a list. There is
a
perfectly good reason for this scheme to have payments of $1.50. For
every
transaction, paypal takes a fee of 2.9% (3.9% if you live outside of the
USA)
and an additional 30 cents, so your $1 is reduced to $0.67 and paypal is
probably the real winner.

There are 5 simple steps between you and your opportunity to make a bunch
of
money:


Step 1:
Set up a new e-mail address (any e-mail address will do) or use an
existing one
that you have where you don't mind receiving spam.

Step 2:
Use your email address to sign up for a paypal account and activate your
account
(https://www.paypal.com note the 's' in https is for secure). For account
type,
select Business (so you can receive credit card payments from people).

Step 3:
Send $1.50 via paypal to each of the five e-mail addresses on this list:

1.
2.

3.

4.

5.


For category of purchase select "SERVICE" and for email subject use "add
me to
your mailing list". This helps the whole thing be legal in compliance
with
Title 18 Sections 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws.

Step 4:
Its now time to redistribute this letter, so you can get paid. Copy this
letter, take e-mail address from position 1 off the e-mail list in step
#3,
move everyone up and insert your own e-mail address at position 5 (the
e-mail
address that you have registered with your paypal account). I use a
program
called PostXpert (
www.postxpert.com) to post messages to newsgroups. Use
your
own creativity to come up with a message subject that will entice people
to read
it, and then post your letter to as many newsgroups as you feel like.

Please note that you may receive a lot of spam at your e-mail address,
since its
available to anyone that reads the letter. Also you may receive fake
emails
from paypal that require for your immediate log in (with log in link
provided in
the e-mail). These e-mails are bogus and only designed to steal your
password.
If you ever receive any e-mails about logging into paypal and are in
doubt,
visit https://www.paypal.com and log in from there.

Now sit back and wait for the money to roll in.
