Interesting E-mail SCAM?!

I received an e-mail today that I thought was rather interesting. It's a SCAM, but will actually work without supposedly breaching any laws, and without hurting anybody too seriously. But like any pyramid schemes, the last group of people holding the baby will eventually get nothing at all. But the concept is truly brilliant, and really the most each person can lose is 10 dollars.

Read the e-mail below:

Comments: If I can get 20 people to pay me $5 each, I initially earn $100. If these 20 people get another 20 people, my name is bumped up to 4th spot on that e-mail chain. So there is now 400 e-mails going around with my name on 4th spot. At 3rd spot there will be 400 x 20 = 8000 e-mails. At 2nd spot, 160,000 e-mails. At 1st spot 3,200,000 e-mails! If everybody paid you $5, you would theoretically earn a cool $16,000,000!

But given leakages and not everybody getting 20 people each, your target earnings is supposed to be $50,000. Not bad eh? Even if you can earn $20 out of this, that's already a 100% return from your $5 right?

The key points to learn from this are:
- People are greedy, and want to get rich quick. If you know how to take advantage of this (legally, of course), there are opportunities
- Viral marketing grows exponentially!

Here is our unique gift to you in conjunction with the coming Hari Raya and festive season. A gift that was proven to be the most successful and legal way of making money with the lowest investment ever. Just follow the instructions and be honest in using this gift. It was covered by many famus programs in the USA and was sent to us by one of our clients there... we are presenting it to you here for free. We don't want to take more time... We wish you all the best!

Here is the email... Good luck:
Make $50,000 In 2 Weeks It Really Works - Quickly and LegallyDo you need extra income ?Quickly and Legally ?ONLY $10 ONETIMEFor The Price of 2 Happy Meals You Help Your Fellow ManBasically This is People Helping People Do you have a PayPal Account? (IF not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT'S TOTALLY FREE!!!)You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month's time with more money coming in every month thereafter!$50,000 in PayPal? That's Right! $50,000 Dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL!!! You may have heard of this program (or one like it) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal. $10 that's all it takes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 4 weeks, you could have as much as $50,000 in your PayPal account or even more. Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ($10Dollars) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this (you can do it over and over). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people! Honesty, Faith, and integrity make this system work. I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE! If you're not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up. Sign up for PayPal here = https://www.paypal.com. It's real easy to set up and it's FREE!!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.

Send $5 to the first person on the list by using the PayPal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: "Payment for Internet Marketing". This keeps the program legal. Then send another $5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: "Payment for Internet Marketing 5th". Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd and the 5th into 4th. DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST!

If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top. REMEMBER TO SEND a $5.00 Dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message "PAYMENT FOR INTERNET MARKETING". Send a SIMILAR e-mail with the words "Payment for Internet Marketing 5th" and the other $5.00 Dollars to the 5th person. This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails.
Here is the list:1. bets.kato@gmail.com 2. jfwilsonjohn@aol.com 3. rob@earnwellforlife.com 4. paypal@eternalsolutions.com 5. jokertan@gmail.com (Make sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open yourPayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment).

Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail (via PayPal account) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 "Payment for Internet Marketing" replies. The fifth person is the guardian of the system = YOU !!

If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are. MAKE SURE YOU SEND $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $5 DOLLARS TO THE 5th PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT!!!

Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars!! Seriously, it's common sense - you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins!!! You will receive thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $25.00 dollars! Keep in mind the most you spend is $10 DOLLARS! = (WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!)

TESTIMONIALS: Mary Gathers, Columbus , SC :I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming! I'm still floating in air (especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work! THANKS!

Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!

Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is a about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life!!!! The Guardian system is based on Honest people helping each other out. This Program is completely legal if you follow step by step directions. It has the same concept of building a downline except more profitable and affordable. Wish you the best of luck and may you prosper in fortune.

Make big money in an Honest Way !
To Success!
