attached file that was kindly donated to us. Thank you for
using PayPal!"

TURN $6 INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW.

"What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions
just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven't made 15 grand
yet, I'm already up to $9,135. I'm absolutely gob
smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio

Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly
as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE
influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here's what you
need to do. . .

REQUIREMENTS

..1) an email address
..2) a PayPal account

STEP ..1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account

It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE
PayPal account! Copy and paste this to the address bar
(notice the secure "https" within the l


STEP ..2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable
law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive."

Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PayPal
to each of the six email addresses listed below.

Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* (this keeps the program
100% legal.. so please don't forget!)

Note: (If you do not see the full email address for the 6 members, just hit
reply To this email and they will show up.)

(Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal
account yet, use this link to open one in your name),


1. vzeoyu39@verizon.net
2. money_pal@hotmail.com
3. pridefightgear@yahoo.com
4. Ladybug40123@yahoo.com
5. leslielarivee@sbcglobal.net
6. anusek@verizon.net

Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL. You are
creating a service!

If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws.

STEP ..3 - Adding Your Email Address

After you send your six $1.00 payments, it's your turn to add your email address
to the list!

Take the ..1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up
one (6 becomes 5 & 5 becomes 4, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one
used in your PayPal account) as ..6) on the list.

**MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS
IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.**

STEP ..4 - The Pure Joy of Receiving PayPal Money!

You are now ready to post your copy of this message,
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.

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.

Step ..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. 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 SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.**

So can you afford $6?? And see if it really works?? I
think so? 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. This really isn't another
one of those crazy scams! As
long as people follow through with sending out $6.00,
it works!

    Can someone please PM me (cos I'll never find this thread again lol) and tell me how to report spam.

    I received a spam PM today about getting a "free" ipod, from someone I've never heard of before, so I know it wasn't a friendly nod in the right direction.

Sadly these were the only offers i got!!
