from a past ebay seller by the looks of it... I won't of course give them any cash, but it's just another pyramid scheme... :rolleyes: "Hello there, it's Maureen, you may or may not remember me but I've either dealt with you on eBay or been part of the same online community as you at some point. I was just wondering if you can spare me a few moments of your time, I would sincerely like to share something with you that was recently just shared with me! It wont take long, it's loads of fun and might just line your pockets BIG-TIME!!!!! The worst that will happen, you will get your money back! There is nothing to lose!!!! I am sending you this email as you are a past contact of mine on eBay through PayPal. Sorry if you have had this info before or if you are already doing it! BEFORE READING ON I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I WAS VERY DUBIOUS AT FIRST AS I DON'T USUALLY GO FOR ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND WAS THINKING OF DELETING THE E-MAIL BUT I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED OK AND THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPED IS THAT I WOULD LOSE £3 SO I CONTACTED THE PERSON ON THE TOP OF MY LIST TO SEE IF IT WAS WORKING AND SHE E-MAILED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT QUITE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT HAS GONE INTO HER ACCOUNT SO IT SEEMS THAT IT IS WORKING. Please do not delete this before reading it in FULL - It is not a scam and is not junk mail! It actually works. You will note from my feedback that I am a genuine user of both eBay and PayPal. We are all eBay users, here to make money or to save money and I feel sure that we can both benefit financially from the following plan. Yes, you like myself have no doubt had this idea has been 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 or .00 and approximately 15 to 20 minutes of your time. These are some of the e-mails and proof that was passed to me which finally made me decide that I wanted to try for myself!. "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, Leicester ........................................................................ ............................................................ "Well what can I say? I sent out 40 e-mails 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, 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, 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, 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" If you don't your email will not be forwarded by others. Instructions on how to send a payment are under "SEND MONEY" at the PayPal site. It is really easy!! The current list is: [Mod Edit: E-mails removed] 1 - Copy and paste this page. 2 - Remove the email address that you have paid from the number 1 spot, 3 - Move all the others, up one space, and insert your own email address in The number 5 spot. 4 - Then send the page to as many people as you can. (There is no point cheating, i.e. if you put yourself at No.1 and sent it To 40 people and only 12.5% replied, then only 5 people would pay you which = £ 15) So, follow the rules for proper sums of money! A good way is to send it to all the people in your PayPal history - I did the following in under 20 minutes. You can too by following these simple steps: 1 After logging on to PayPal click on the Tab marked HISTORY 2 Then click on DOWNLOAD MY HISTORY. Enter a FROM DATE (basically when you first started using PayPal) 3 In the File types for Download Drop Down Menu, select Tab Delimited ALL ACTIVITY! 4 Click on the button DOWNLOAD HISTORY. 5 When the Dialogue box appears, save the text file to somewhere easy to access e.g. your desktop. Your PayPal History can take a little time to get to you depending on how much History you have? 6 Once downloaded open the file using Excel (or similar software) 7 Filter out all the email addresses. Beware this will possibly have duplicates of email addresses also your own may be in there a few times! Just delete them! 8 Once you have done this, copy and paste the addresses into your forwarded email. 9 You are all set!! ALL I WOULD LIKE TO DO NOW IS WISH YOU GOOD LUCK! The worst that will happen, you will get your money back! There is nothing to lose!!!! 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 email's 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 email's, 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 email's = 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 e-mail's = 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 and that's (12.5% of 1000 = 125 people) so you are now reaching around 5000 people (125 people x 40 e-mail's = 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 and that's (12.5% of 5000 = 625 people) so you are now reaching around 25000 people (625 people x 40 e-mail's = 25000) and you are now at No 1 on the list. Out of those 25000 people, you can expect at least 3125 of them to participate and that's (12.5% of 25000 = 3125 people) so since you are at the No 1 spot you can expect to receive around (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 its 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 e-mail's 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 e-mail's. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1,000 e-mail's 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 e-mail's 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 CSV file which you can open with MS Excel, 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. Best of luck!!! And remember - The worst that will happen, you will get your money back! There is nothing to lose!!!! Kindest regards Maureen"
