OK.... so we have seen it ALL before..... and you know what???? this

program wouldn't still be floating around if people weren't ACTUALLY

making $$$$$ WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?!?!?!?!?!





Here's the challenge:

HOW TO MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON PAYPAL.COM



THIS IS REAL...

TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ THIS.....

NOBODY IS SCAMMING YOU

THE 5 MINUTES IT WILL TAKE YOU TO READ

THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR FUTURE!

TURN $6 INTO $6,000++!!!

HOW TO MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON PAYPAL.COM



I'm sure you've read these letters asking

you to send $1 to 6 different addresses. Putting your home address or

mailing address on the internet can be risky, but through paypal all

you have to provide is your email address. It's safe and easy just go

to www.paypal.com and set up your FREE account! No credit card needed.

I am not a gullible person and Have never

trusted things like this, but I gave it a try, hey its only $6, I

figured at least 6 people would respond out of the millions of people

that use the internet. You should give it a try too! You have nothing

to lose, and $$ thousands to gain! Read on for the letter that I

found...



HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000++!!!

THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!!!

IT WORKS!!!

BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO

WORK!!!!



A little while back, I was browsing through

newsgroups, just like you are now and came across an article similar

to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks

with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right,

this must be some kind of scam" but like most of us, I was curious, so

I kept reading.

Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 though

paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then place

your own email address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the

article in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands) No catch.

That was it.

So after thinking it over, and talking to few

people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to

lose except $6.00,right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and

a little worried about the legal aspects of it. It follows the same

regulations as the "mailed chain letters, which according to the U.S.

Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is indeed legal! Then I invested the

measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!? Within 7 days, I started getting

money in my paypal account!

I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but

the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $15.00.

By the end second week I had made a total over $800.00!!! In the third

week I had over $6,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my

fourth week and I have made a total of just over $21,000.00 and it's

still coming in rapidly. It's Certainly worth $6.00.

I have spent more than that on the lottery!!!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it

works? Also, make sure you print a copy of this article now, so that

you can get the information off of it as you need it.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



REQUIREMENTS: You must have a confirmed paypal account. If you do not

Have a paypal account you can go to www.paypal.com and follow the

instructions to set up a free account. In order to place the initial

$6 into your account, you will have to confirm your bank account with

paypal (which may take a few days).



Paypal is 100% secure and is used by millions

of people world wide. Confirming a www.paypal.com account simply

means

(1) paypal will first ask you to confirm the email you used to sign

up your paypal account by sending you an email with a link for you to

click to that email. As soon as you click that link your email is

confirmed.

(2) Paypal will then make two small deposits into your bank account if

you set up your paypal account with a checking or savings bank

account. Or paypal will make two small deposits to your credit card if

you set up your paypal account with your credit card.

Then after a few days (it takes up to a few days

for these deposits to appear in your bank account or on your credit

card statement) then after a few days you go back to the

www.paypal.com website and sign in. Then you click where it says this

account is not yet confirmed. A screen will pop up that gives you 2

boxes to fill in.

You then enter the numbers of the 2 small

deposit amounts (two separate

2 digit numbers) that were deposited to your bank account or credit

card. Now you have a working and confirmed paypal account and can

receive payments.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[STEP 1]

Send, though paypal, $1.00 to each email on the below

list. Make the subject of the payment "Email List" and in the

comments, write "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST." What you are doing

is creating a service by this - and best of all you are not giving

your home address to anyone you do not know.



THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!! YOU ARE CREATING A SERVICE.

The email list...... Paypal accounts are on this email lists;



#1) (e-mail address removed)



#2) (e-mail address removed)



#3) (e-mail address removed)



#4) (e-mail address removed)



#5) (e-mail address removed)



#6) (e-mail address removed)




WWW.PAYPAL.COM Subject of Payment: ***Email List***



Comments: ***PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST.***



[STEP 2]

Now take the #1) email off the list that you see

above, move the other addresses up one (6 becomes 5 & 5 becomes 4,

etc) the put YOUR email address (the one used in your paypal account)

as #6) on the list.



**MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR

PAYPAL ACCOUNT.**



[STEP 3]

Change anything you need to, but try to keep this

article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended

article 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. So they will make you and me rich!!!!



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.

# DIRECTIONS # HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS # MESSAGE BOARDS #



Step #1)

You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do

your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this

letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select

'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your

computer's temporary memory.

Step #2)

Open a blank 'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the

top of the blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will

paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email

to the list.

Steps #3)

Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you

want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have

this file to go back to.

Step #4)

Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching

for various newsgroups,

on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites,

discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go

to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com,

excite.com - then search with subjects like ?millionaire

message board? or ?money making message board? or ?opportunity message

board? or

?money making discussions? or ?business bulletin board? or ?money

making forum? etc.

You will find thousands & thousands of message

boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a

new message.

Step #5)

Visit these message boards and post this article as a

new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting

'Paste' from the 'Edit' menu.

Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that

everyone sees as they scroll

thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post

message button.



PayPal account holders can send and receive funds from all these

countries below.

U.S., Australian, Austrian, Belgian, Canadian, Danish, Finnish,

French, German, Hong Kong, Irish, Italian, Korean, Mexican, Japanese,

Dutch, New Zealand, Norwegian, Singaporean, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss,

Taiwanese, United Kingdom, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador,

India, and Jamaica.



You're done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT'S IT!!

All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and

post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds

for each newsgroup!



**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS

YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!

BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**



That's it! You will begin receiving money within days!



**JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON

PAYPAL.**

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



Now the WHY Part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies

(a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #6 on the

letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the

MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my

email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that

is another $25.00 for me.

Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at

#4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!

Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200

with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an

additional $625.00!

OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post

a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5

replies that just made me $3,125.00!!!

Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200

newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200

newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00!

With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING!! When

your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in

the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to emails on the list,

putting your email at number 6 again. And start posting again.





Your paypal TRANSACTION ACTIVITY will look like this:



DATE: June 30, 2008 *** TYPE: Payment *** TO/FROM: From ***

NAME/EMAIL: Mary Jones

GROSS: $1.00 USD *** PAYPAL FEE: -$0.33 USD *** NET AMOUNT: $0.67 USD

NAME/EMAIL: John Canada

GROSS: $1.00 CAN *** PAYPAL FEE: -$0.11 CAN *** NET AMOUNT: $0.89 CAN

The thing to remember is, do you realize that

thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and

reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!

So can you afford $6?? And change your destiny???

Just see how it works!! Think It!! People have said,

What if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what

are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest

users and new honest people who are joining the internet and

newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?

Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day,

with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play

FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. Seriously, most people think

this is a scam, but you actually do get thousands of dollars out of

it, it is NOT another crazy scam, if people follow through with

sending out $6, it works!!!!! Post a follow-up to this message!!

Welcome to usenet. Often you get what you pay for. But then again,
often you get much more. Usenet, like life itself, is a gamble whose
odds improve the more you put into it.

THE STANDARD ADVICE:

There is a way to influence what gets discussed in a newsgroup that
works well, and another way that has never worked no matter how many
people have tried it.

What works: Post articles on the topic you wish to see discussed,
and participate in the resulting discussion. Use killfiles and
filters so that you don't see the articles that you dislike.
If you don't know how to use a killfile, use good old fashioned
discipline and don't read the articles that you dislike. Never,
ever respond to articles that you dislike.

What doesn't work: Respond to articles that you dislike, complain
about articles that you dislike, complain about posters that you
dislike, complain about how terrible everyone else is for not posting
what you want them to post. Talk about how to respond to articles
that you dislike. Make the articles that you dislike the center of
attention, the main topic of discussion, and a personal crusade.
