Have you guys heard about that list of emails u make and send to people..and have them add their name to the list while adding a dollar to everyones name on the list with paypal..It's supposed to make a money tree of sorts (because your supposed to post it 200 or so times)and when it gets back to the top your suppossed to have like 40,000 or something...I've been hearing someone went on Oprah and proved it to be true and told people how to replicate it and it's suppossed to be sure fire..Has any one heard that? It sounds like it'll work if you start it with people u know..What do u think?

I am not willing to try it. I have better things to spend $1 on.

wow I have know idea but I am not sure I would trust it, I mean, what I only have to pay $1.00 and then hope that when I send it to my friends if I am on the top of the list that they all send me $1.00 and then move themselves to the top and send to their friends they get $1.00 from all their friends? I mean, that is great and all, but then you have to account for fees that Paypal will take for receiving the payment I guess no big deal too but still....For me, if I were to do it I would have to really talk with my friends about it and see what they thought, but I would rather that they just shop through my portal and I can pay them back for doing that instead. www.mymommyswebsite.com...

Yes, If everyone who recived money sent it out again. It would be. But If you did get 4000 in your paypal (Which u can't unless you have a bussiness account or do it over 4 months) I doubt you would send it out again to people.

I watch Oprah all the time and I haven't seen it. I wouldn't do it anyway though. No such thing as free money, unless you are lucky enough to win the lotto or something. That would probably be a better investment. LOL!

This sounds to me like a huge scam. I would never do something like this. I think it opens yourself up for being to vulnerable. Good luck if you decide to do it.

It's a pyramid scheme and therefore a scam.

I suppose it would work if everyone that was emailed the chain email gave a dollar, but in reality, how many would? I know I wouldn't lol And believe me, I'd LOVE to have some easy cash, just like the next person. I just would be afraid that I'd get burned by people not emailing or not paying. It's just a new twist on the old chain letters asking you to send money or even panties to those on the list (yes, believe it or not, I got one asking for your panty size and to send something like 3 pairs to the top person on the list lol)
