supposed to make $1000's by sending a $1 to each person or something, i called paypal and was told not to do it but i dont see what the harm is in trying it out if it's only $6, i am hoping to hear some feed back on here from people who have tried it or know what i am talking about.[/DIV]Thank's

oh yeah 1 guy at paypal said it was illegal then another said it was not, it seems the people there are idiots any way, i know it MLM but i just want to know if it works?

The harm is that by participating in pyramid schemes, you are encouraging them. You would be supporting scam-artists, which would in turn lead to more Internet scams. If you have more money than you know what to do with, which is obviously the case if you feel the need to send cash to random strangers, then contact me at [A href="mailto:[email protected]"][email protected][/A]. I have a wonderful business opportunity I'd like to share with you.

Anything like this is either a scam, illegal, or both. It's almost like a tax on gullible people.

Tenkani, what the heck is that coming out of your avatar's mouth? Is that a tongue?????

ok i am not rich so thats why i am considering doing this, i want to hear from people that have tried it

tenkani

You're considering putting money into a pyramid scheme because you aren't rich. Um...

Look, it's your call, but IMO these people prey on the ignorance of their marks. They put the scam out there, knowing that 99% of folks will recognize it for what it is, but also knowing that the naive 1% can make them a fortune. By placing yourself in that 1%, you are helping to perpetuate the cycle. The "opportunity" you describe is not new. It's a well-known scam. The only people who benefit from pyramid schemes are those who initiate them.

My guess is that your email is among the six listed above.[/DIV]You should be careful about that.[/DIV]Someone might take those emails and use them to sign up for tons of spam.That would be terrible...
