I have seen posts on many forums about the paypal money making scheme. Where you have to send 6 dollars to 6 different people and have them add you to their mailing list. And then you post the letter on 200 forums so people will send money to you. I was just wondering if anyone has tried that and profited from it. Or is it even legal???? Does anybody know? Please help me.

Its a scams. Once they were asking money. Automatic its a scam. Were here to do our job and earn, why do they have to ask for a payment? Its non-sense. Don't believe on PAYING-OUT site.

IT IS A SCAM! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE! This stuff has been going on long before the internet came into existence. In the form of chain letters.

These are scams. They are a variation on chain-letter and ponzi schemes. I don't know whether or not they are legal as far as the Internet is concerned but it is illegal to use the U.S. Mail to operate schemes like this.

well i figure it is just $6.00 we would be losing out. And if this "scheme" actually works...to me...$6.00 is worth risking. I guess I'm just scared of if it is legal or not.
