HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY BUISINESS. THIS REALLY WORKS!!!
(AS PROVEN ON OPRAH, DATELINE, 20/20 AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL etc.)

PAYPAL! GUARANTEED MONEY MAKER! JUST STARTED MORE MONEY THE EARLIER YOU JOIN
FORGET THE "WEBIK" LETTER.
FORGET THE "DANGOPAY" MAILER.
FORGET THE OLD "PAYPAL LETTER."
NO MORE $6 TO $6000 BY MAIL.


IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE BIG CASH FAST, YOU HAVE TO GET IN AT THE VERY BEGINNING. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE LESS RETURN YOU GET ON YOUR INVESTMENT. WELL, THIS IS AS NEW AS IT GETS. THIS LETTER WAS STARTED ON APRIL 1ST 2006. THIS MEANS THAT EVERYONE THAT GETS ON BOARD EARLY WILL RECEIVE THE BIGGEST PIECE OF THE PIE. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS OVER SATURATED. IN A MATTER OF DAYS, THIS LETTER WILL BE IN EVERY MESSAGE BOARD ON THE INTERNET. NO SCAM, NO SPAM, NO PYRAMID. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL AND LATER I WILL EXPLAIN WHY.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW LETTER. HOWEVER, IT STILL USES PAYPAL. YOU CAN NOT BEAT THE BEST AND MOST TRUSTED NAME IN ON-LINE PAYMENT SERVICES.



First, go to paypal.com and sign up for an account. It is totally free. A business account is recommended because it does not have a sending or withdrawal limit. Pay pal says you can even use your name as your
business.

https://www.paypal.com/uk/mrb/pal=ADNWQSLP6HYUQ

(Note: the above link to paypal is my personal link, Please change this when you edit this letter to your link, as you recieve commission from Paypal for every referal).

Next, deposit £5 into your new Pay pal account. You can do this by adding your checking account to your Pay pal account. (This may take 3-4 days.) Or if you want to start right away, use your credit or debit card to make the £5 deposit to pay pal. Pay pal guarantees your security when using personal information. They do not release your information to third parties. Very, very, very, secure!
Take the £5 in your Pay pal account and follow these simple steps:

1) Click on the "SEND MONEY" tab

2) Enter the e-mail address in the #1 position


1.
2.
3.


3) Send the £5 to the first e-mail address with an attached note, or a separate e-mail saying "ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." This makes it legal.

4) Copy this letter. To do this, simply place your cursor at the top of the page, hold it and drag it all the way down to the end of this letter, which will highlight it. Then click on "EDIT" and select "COPY."
Now open "word pad" file on your computer and put the cursor in the top of the page in the notepad. Then click on "EDIT," then select "PASTE." This will copy the letter onto your computer. Be sure to save this letter as a text file. Then send an e-mail to the third position (3rd e-mail) saying "THANKS, I'VE JOINED." This also makes this legal as it is not concidered Spam mail.

5) Now remove the #1 e-mail address and move #2 and #3 up a position, and list your e-mail as #3.

6) Do 2 things.

First, use your new edited letter and email 20 friends or more if you can, they must be people you know or you may be at risk of spamming.

Secondly, Log on to YAHOO, GOOGLE or any other major search engine, and type in "making money message board," or "post message," or " making money forums," or "employment," or "business opportunity," or " chat sites," or " news groups." Post this letter in at least 150-200 of these message boards and news groups. It is very important that you post as many as possible, because the more you post, the quicker your name will move up the list.

When your name reaches the #1 position,this is when you start bringing in the BIG BUCKS!!
Now just sit back and watch your Pay pal account grow!!!
Good luck and make lots and lots of money!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. PLEASE DON'T ADD YOUR EMAIL TO SECOND PLACE AS THIS SUPERB IDEA IS BASED ON TRUST AND PLAYING FAIR, PLUS YOU'LL ONLY REDUCE THE AMMOUNT OF PEOPLE YOU REACH, SUBSEQUENTLY LOSING OUT!

P.S.S. THE LETTER IS NOT WRITTEN BY PAYPAL, AND IT'S CREATOR IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE OR CONTRACTED BY PAYPAL TO SEND OUT THIS LETTER. THIS IS A TOTALLY INDEPENDENT SPAM FREE AND LEGAL METHOD OF EARNING EXTRA MONEY ONLINE.

Ahh the old pyramid reference schemes. Absolute garbage, and i don't believe you've made £225 Tom.

I think you mis-typed that mate, surely it should say:

So far i have made a loss of £225

:)

Anyway, good luck if you have 'made' on it - but I certainly wouldn't advise it to anyone else. Just think about it, someone is losing out somewhere!!!

In case nobody is aware, the 2 major flaws in pyramid schemes (or NOT A PYRAMID scheme as most of these emails suggest) is that in order for everyone to become fabulously wealthy, it relies on 2 major flaws...

1. That there are an infinite number of new people willing to take part in the programme.

2. That people are stupid / greedy enough to believe that they can get something for nothing.

Fortunately, most people are a lot more clued up these days, and a lot more savvy with their money (it used to be a £1 you had to send when I first saw this scam).

The only people who can really make money off these things are the instigators.. i.e. the people who originally send the message. If that is the case with Tomcat, then it's entirely possible that he's made a couple of hundred pounds off the stupidity of others. If so, then well done to him... I don't think it rips people off anymore than leave a machine completely rattled so that the next person who plays it has absolutely no chance of winning. As that recent BBC show about con artists said "You can't con an honest person".

However, I suspect that Tomcat isn't so high up the scamming ladder as he would like to be. The boast of having made £225 was probably some sort of incentive to the rest of us, but I guess we'll have no way of knowing (without perhaps signing up to the scheme ourselves!)

Just one more story, which will illustrate the extent of human greed and unparalleled idiocy...

It concerns the Nigerian 419 scams which you've probably heard about... an email / fax / letter comes from some rich African bank, offering millions of dollars in exchange for helping them get funds out of the country. As it transpires, this money cannot be released until bribes / backhanders / legal fees are paid. The victim sends thousands of dollars in these fees, and obviously gets nothing in return.... some of these scams are ingenious, and there are plenty of examples on the net.

However, what also occurs is that the victims get ripped off and contact the police, who start an investigation (which usually ends up fruitless) into the fraudsters.

Then one day, the person who was ripped off gets a letter from the Nigerian police stating that the criminals have been caught and are currently awaiting trial. Most of the funds have been recovered, and can be released to the original victim upon payment of some administration and legal fees....

I think you can guess what happens next!

No sooner had a uttered the line "you can't con an honest man", I decided to check my bank account.

Some bastard / bastards unknown cloned my card, waited till I got paid, then fleeced £300 out of it every day till it emptied.

I've now got £1.50 to last my next month, pay my mortgage and other bills... hope it's enough!

(what the fuck do I do if the bank tell me it was my fault?)

That is very harsh, first thing you need to do is cancel the card! Think where you have used it since your last payday?

Hope the bank understand your problem and maybe increase your overdraft so you can cover your payments.

Honestly Fader, I'm not!

Just been to the bank, a total of £1150 was cleared out the account in 4 days. They've extended my overdraft, so don't have to worry about bills.

They also said they'll refund the money IF they know it wasn't me... trouble is, it was used in Glasgow (where I was during the weekend)... what is there to stop me giving my bank card to my friend to go and take £300 out my account every day, and then claiming I've been defrauded?

Sh1t man, I can only think how bad you must feel...

One long shot may be this - a lot of these machines now take photos of you when you're using them. They could check if a photo corresponds with your particular usage.

The only downfall is as you say - who's to prove that's not a friend of yours using your card... :(

Hope you get it sorted, and quick!
