Default Scam Using Oprah show

THIS IS ABOUT HELPING EACH OTHER MAKE MONEY, IT WAS ON THE
OPRAH WINFREY SHOW HOW A 15 YEAR OLD MADE 71,000 DOLLARS IN 5 WEEKS
DOING THIS,
JUST DO A SEARCH ON IT AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF, AND THAN
COME BACK HERE AND GET STARTED,THIS WAY ANYBODY ANYWHERE CAN MAKE MONEY.
MAKE MONEY USING PAYPAL- IT WORKS!
________________________________________
Make Lots of Money Quick, Easy & LEGAL with Paypal
AS SEEN ON OPRAH!!
PAYPAL VERIFIES THAT THIS $6 INVESTMENT SCHEME
IS 100% LEGAL AND IS A BIG HIT THIS YEAR SEE
THEIR NOTE BELOW OR ASK THEM DIRECTLY... THIS
SCHEME MIGHT TAKE 15-30 MINUTES AND JUST $6,
BUT IT IS 100% WORTH IT TO MAKE THOUSANDS SO
QUICKLY. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER SCAM THAT
TAKES LOTS OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; THIS IS
A NO RISK INVESTMENT THAT WILL MAKE YOU
THOUSANDS OF pounds VERY EASILY AND QUICKLY.
>From PayPal:
"Dear Member, it has come to our attention that there
is a PayPal scheme floating around at the moment you
may have heard or seen the $6 scheme. You may have
even taken part in it well we have been asked a lot of
questions about this scheme the answer is yes it does
work and yes it is safe to use providing you follow the
rules it is legal and has made a big hit on the internet
this year. If you would like to take part in this scheme
or would like a bit more information then please see the
attached file that was kindly donated to us. Thank you for
using PayPal!"
Get rid of student loans, get out of debt, make money to go traveling!!
Making Money - This Really Works Keep in mind that everything
stated below is 100% legal as stated by the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161). 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 pounds within weeks with only an initial
investment of £6.00! : Anyway it said that you have to send $1.00 to each
of the following names on the list, stated at the end of this article using
Paypal. You don’t have to be preferred or verified to transfer and receive
money, so you lose no money through transfers. Now honestly, what is six
pounds, especially out of a Paypal account. In exchange you will make
thousands in the first few months. You then place your own name and
email address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands of newsgroups). No catch, that
was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about
trying it.
I know that you may have seen this on Oprah or even received numerous
messages about this simple program and have probably just deleted them,
I know I have! But for some unknown reason this time I decided to give it a try.
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're going to be out of
pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking
thousands of pounds into your PayPal account!
I sent out my measly $6.00 to the six people on the list. Well GUESS WHAT!!...
Within 7 days, I started: getting $$$$$ in my account! I was shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the CASH just kept coming in. In my first week, I made
about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!
In the third week I had over $15,060.00 and it's still growing. This is now my
fourth week and I have made a total of just over $26,000.00 and it's still coming
in rapidly. It's certainly worth £6.00 and 6 minutes to send it out. This program
WORKS, all you have to do is try it, and waste some pocket change. You could find
six dollar lying around the house. There is absolutely nothing you could lose. Just
follow the 3 basic steps below to make thousands in just a few days, weeks, or months,
it all depends on how many posts of this letter you put in message boards
or send as emails.
Here’s how it works: When you post 200 messages all over the internet, it is
estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00).
Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those
225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those
3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At
this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00.
Note: I'm not saying this is going to make everyone 800 grand, but lets say even
1 person out of 200 tries this program, you are still going to make 50,000 dollars
anywhere from 1 month to 6 months max!!!!! You can also copy this letter and
email it to some of your friends and associates, it’s a guarantee that some of them
will be interested and give it a go, the more that do the more you make.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using
Paypal, and in the comment (Subject) section type "Please add me to your list". Below are the emails that you transfer the money into:
Paypal accounts to send 1 dollar to :

(Here there were 5 email addresses)

2.After sending the money to the first 6 people on the list, you can remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc?) Then place your name in the #6 position. Then save it.
3. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then go to (Google, Yahoo,...) and type in (Making Money Message board, Money Message Board, Money Forum, Free money Forum, or anything along those lines that are forums) and start posting your copy of this message at least 200 times, to as many unique message boards as you can, or more. The more times you post this at a unique board, the more money you will make. You can email your message to as many people you can but remember, the more you post and email the more money you make! Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each pound. It will work better the second time. 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.
If you don't have a paypal account you can copy the link below and follow the instructions. It’s totally secure, costs you nothing to set-up and is a very useful way of transferring and more importantly receiving money. You will be amazed every time you check your account to see how much money has been paid into it, and this money
goes straight in without any deductions. To sign up for Paypal follow this link, just make sure that you use the same email address for your Paypal account that you put in this list, that’s how your payments are made.
(here there was a fake paypal account)

4. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, its a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to
pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
5. This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to #####le 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal Lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again and again. This is the biggest growing internet money making scheme on the net, you will see that as you post your letter to the message boards, but that just proves how successful it really is.
Good luck, don’t forget to follow the instructions correctly and spend the money wisely!!

Default Be Careful!

OK, I received this letter a few days ago and I have a few things to say. First of all, I did my homework and there is no evidence whatsoever that Oprah said anything about this PayPal letter at all. Oprah’s name get’s thrown around a lot, the easy way to check is to go to her site and look it up for yourself. All of Oprah’s shows are archived, and there for anyone to look up, try for yourself…it’s not there.

Second of all, there is no concrete evidence I have found that this is truly legal and, in fact, you are most likely to get your PayPal account suspended or terminated if you participate. I use my PayPal account to make a living, so this would be devistating to me. I'm not sure what else could happen, but I personally am not going to find out.

Be careful! There are real ways to make money on the internet, but this is not one of them.

I had heard of that scam too.
I knew right away just by looking at it that there was no way
Oprah would talk about something like that and recommend it to others.

Wink Referring to the Oprah scam!

It's really too bad that this is a scam, it sounds like a good idea, if only honest people would participate. It sounds great to receive at least $50,000 for about $200. But I guess I'm just a dreamer!
