DO YOU NEED MONEY THE PAYPAL 6 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD
AS SEEN ON OPRAH EARN HUGE $$$$$$$$
all you need is:
1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) $6.00
THIS IS A 2007, CURRENT EMAIL LIST
Ever since the internet became popular, the word “scam” has become a
daily term. I have never once tried any money making “system” outside
of this because of that very reason. However, after reading reports on
the validity and reputation of this money making system (seen on Oprah,
CNN, and other media forums) I decided to give this one a shot…
Especially since the so called “risk” is only $6.00. I mean, for the
chance, what a joke right? Anyway, only hours after implementing this
exact system I about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started
rolling in. I couldn’t believe it and for that reason, I wrote this
intro and became a believer in this system.
WHAT IS IT?
The idea is that of a system that takes advantage of the power of
compounding. And in a big way, let me tell you. First and foremost
understand that there are
countless spin-offs of this system that try to make a “quick buck” off
of people. Long lists, the 5 & 10 dollar trees, the birthday systems,
etc…
Those spin-offs do make money because of the ease of implementation of
this idea, but they do NOT use the compounding advantage. This system
is THE legit and profitable one. Here is how it works… There is a
list of 6 email addresses (you’ll see it as you read further). Each of
these people has already taken part in this system. When someone new
comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves
the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5, #5
to #4, etc.), and places their PayPal email address in the #6 position.
This process is what develops the power of compounding. The bottom line
is this… Honesty and Integrity creates Profitability. Following this
EXACT process is what creates the money, and that is why this system
has been raved about in the media. Altering the system creates weak
results. The legality of this system comes from the idea that you are
of course creating a mailing list, and a “service” is being provided
(more on that later.) Now on to how your $6.00 creates BIG money…
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
The first thing to do is highlight and SAVE this entire post in word or
notepad on your computer so you can come back to it later.
After that, if you are not already a PayPal user you need to go to the
PayPal website at and SIGN UP. If you want to be able to
receive credit card payments from other people then you will need to
sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not just a PERSONAL
account). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment
options. In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will
have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few
days). PAYPAL is 100% secure and is used by millions of people
worldwide.
STEP 2:
Here is where the action occurs. The first thing to do is to send a
$1.00 payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list from
your PayPal account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow these
simple steps:
1. Login to PayPal and click on the “Send Money” tab near the top of
the screen
2. In the “Recipient’s Email” field enter the email address
3. In the “Amount” field enter “1″ (This is your $1.00 payment)
4. In the “Category” field select “Service” (Keeping it legal)
5. In the “Subject” field type “EMAIL LIST”, and in the “NOTE” field
enter “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST”. By doing this, you are
creating a service and maintaining the legality of the system by
“paying” for the service.
6. Finally, click on the “Continue” button to complete the payment.
Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. That’s it! By
sending the $1.00 payment to each address, you are implementing the
compounding POWER of the system. You will reap what you sow!
Here is the current e-mail list:
*************************************************
The email list:
1)veemartinez@gmail.com
2)corina@bigpond.net.au
3)apriladelaide@yahoo.com
4)haneefgroup@yahoo.com
5)oliviapinkney@yahoo.com 6)willispage3@yahoo.com
************************************************
STEP 2:
Now take the #1 email off of the list that you see above (from your
saved file), move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,
etc.) and add YOUR email address (the one used for your PayPal account)
as number 6 on the list. This is the only part of the document that
should be changed. ** Make sure your email address is the one you have
registered with PayPal **
STEP 3:
Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or message boards.
Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online! All you
need is 200, but remember the more you post the more money you make –
as well as everyone else on the list! I’ve began to see money roll in
before I even hit 100 posts, but try to hit around 200 to allow
maximum exposure. Use Netscape, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or
whatever your internet browser is to search for various news groups,
on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites,
discussions, discussion groups, on-line communities, etc. For example,
log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or google.com and type in a
subject like ‘MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD’, ‘MONEY MAKING DISCUSSIONS’,
‘MONEY MAKING FORUMS’, or ‘BUSINESS MESSAGE BOARD’, etc. You will find
thousands and thousands of message boards. Click them one by one and
you will find the option to post a new message. Fill in the subject
which will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the
list of postings in a particular group, and post the article with the
NEW list of email addresses included. 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.
HOW THE MONEY WORKS:
When you post 200 messages in various forums, 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), etc.
through 6 levels of email addresses. For comprehension purposes, here
is an easy viewing chart:
1) 15(1) = 15 people ($1) = $15
2) 15(15) = 225 people ($1) = $225
3) 15(225) = 3375 people ($1) = $3375
4) 15(3375) = 50625 people ($1) = $50625
5) 15(50625) = 759375 people ($1) = $759375
As you can see, your $6.00 has multiplied exponentially. What other
opportunity that is as simple as this can cash in the way this can?!
I’m not going to say this is going to make everyone over $800,000, but
within a few WEEKS you begin to see results, thanks to the speed of the
internet!
When your name is no longer on the list, take the latest posting in the
newsgroups and begin the process again. Simply amazing…
One other tip to speed up the process even more:
You can send out your amended post (after you complete the process and
add your PAYPAL email address to the list) to the contacts you already
have in YOUR email address book! It is AMAZING how fast this works. Be
cautious though with your emailing (don’t spam hundreds of people you
don’t know). Combine this idea with the steps above to MAXIMIZE your
profits. I can’t stress enough how this system works wonders. There is
something to be said when an idea is internationally publicized, just
make sure you take advantage of it (especially for only $6.00!)
Follow the system as described, and enjoy your PROFITS!!!
REMEMBER… HONESTY AND INTEGRITY = PROFITABILITY
YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME! THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
This is excellent seed money to start or expand a business, buy your dream home, car and pay off whatever bills you may have. Good luck!
HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS?
Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc., then search with the subject “millionaire message board; or; money making message board; or; employment message board; or making discussions; or ”money making forum; or; business message board; etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards.
Click on them one by one and you will find
the option ‘post a new message’. Then Post this article as a ‘new
message’ by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy
then paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the
header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You’re done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards after you catch on.
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!

easy $$$
paypal 6 dollar money-making method $$$$$$$$$
Are you ready for the new and improved way to make instant $ right
into your paypal account.Oprah has proved that with $6 dollars,a free
paypal account and 30 minutes of your time,you can make between
$30,000 and &50,000.Paypal has even verifited this to be 100% legal.
Well for those of you who are not familiar with this cash making machine
it runs purely on honesty and four simple steps.I gave it a try,hey its only
$6,I figured at least 6 people would respond out of MILLIONS on the iternet.
You should give it a try too!
Nothing too lose,and lots to gain!
I was a skeptic at first tell i seen the article 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 as 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 info then please see the attached file that was
kindly donated to us.Thank you for using paypal!”
Anyway,it said that you send $1.00 though paypal to each of the emails stated in th article
You then place your own email address in the bottom of the list at …6,and post the article
in at least 200 news groups(ther are alot)
So so after thinking about,I WENT AHEAD TRYING IT.
I figured what have i got to lose but 6 bucks.
Like most of us i was skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it.
It follows the same regulations as the “mailed chainletters,which according to the
U.S. Post Office(1-800-725-2161)is indeed legal!
Then i invested the measly $6.00
Well GUESS WHAT!!?
Within days,I started getting money in my paypal account!
Iwas shocked!
i figured it would end soon,but the money just kept coming in.
This is now my fourth week and i have made a total of just over $24,641.00 and still
coming in.
it’s certainly worth $6.00.
Let me tell you how this works and most important why it works?
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have a verified paypal account.
If you do not have an account you can go to http://www.paypal.com…. and get a free account.
I would suggest signing up for a business account because it does not limit you to the
amount money you can recieve.
Example: with a personal account you are limited to receiving $500.00 a month and
withdrawing $500.00 a month.
And trust me you will be receiving more than $500.00 a month!
Like i said before in order to place the initial $6 into your account,you will have to verify
your bank account with paypal(which may take a few days)
STEP 1:
Send through paypal, $1.00 to each email on the list below.Make the subject of the payment
“email list” and in the comments, write “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST”
What you are doing is creating a service by this and best of all you are not giving your
address to anyone…. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
The email list:
1.Goblue666@live.com
2.Lostreflection87@gmail.com
3.Daytonaboy800@aol.com
4.Bostonjmc82@yahoo.com
5.drgreenjeans@hotmail.com
6.rekart10@yahoo.com
STEP 2:
Now take the #1 email off the list that you see above,move the other addresses up
(6 becomes 5,5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR email adderess(the one used on
the paypal account)as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3:
Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.Now
,post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups,message board.(I think there
are close to 32,000 groups)
All you needs is about 200,but remember,the more you post,the more money you make-
as well as everyone else on the list.
For example: you log on to any search engine like yahoo.com,google.com,altvista.com,
excite.com then you search with subject like ?millionaire message board?or?money making
message board? ?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or?
money making forum?
Remember,all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL. You are creating a service!
if any doubts,please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States
Postal laws.send you payments to the email addresses.
