This article stats that you could make hundreds of thousands of dollars with this method; it is not a pyramid scam, is completely legal,and money is paid and received through Pay Pal, which is the safest way I know of to exchange money on the web. I'm certainly going to take a stab at it, and hope you will too. We all profit because it's about people helping other people by compounding. Following is the article:
"Can you really make money so easily? I am and this helps whilst developing my own online business! I thought it was impossible. Just read this. I don't even have to convince you that this is not a scam because it makes logical sense how you can earn money through Pay Pal.
I have used Paypal for years and fully trust them.
A little while back, I was browsing through a newsgroup, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading : OPRAH WINFREY and an article published in the Wall Street Journal, here is some of it!! Everyone has heard about "PayPal" (if you haven't you will soon) and, when I came across this concept I knew it would work because, as a member of PayPal, I had already experienced their efficiency and excellent standing.
PayPal is the simplest method of making and receiving payments online anyone has ever seen! Anyone with an email address can join, for FREE! Please read further before you go there... You can complete this whole process in less than one hour and you will never forget the day you decided to do so!!! Oh!, Did I say FAST? By fast I mean 'the speed of the Internet-type fast.' Everything is done on the Internet by email. And, if you abide by the rules, it is NOT considered SPAM, so it's completely legal! Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 through paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then place your own email address in the bottom of the list at No.6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands.)
No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it. It follows the same regulations as the mailed chain letters, 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 7 days, I started getting money in my PayPal account! I was shocked and excited! I figured it would end soon, but the money 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 over $1,100.00! In the third week I had over $9,000.00 and it's still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $22,000.00 and it's still Coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works? Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
REQUIREMENTS: You must have a verified PayPal account. If you do not have an account you can go to paypal and follow the instructions to set up a free account. 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 my millions of people world wide.
STEP 1: Send, through PayPal, $1.00 to each email on the below list. 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. THIS IS THE SENTENCE THAT MAKES ALL OF THIS 100% LEGAL! Best of all, you are not giving your address to anyone you do not know. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! The email list:
1)
oakley_29@yahoo.com
2)
joel@22hotmail.com
3)
hogfish11@gmail.com
4)
jeanmeltesen383@hotmail.com
5)
paulngiz@gmail.com
6)
steve_b_1969@hotmail.com
STEP 2: Now take the 1st email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc?) and add YOUR email address (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 boards and focus groups. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! ----
DIRECTIONS---- HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS, MESSAGE BOARDS, etc.---------- Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.

Here's the interesting part: even if you only get a 7.5% return from your 200 posts, this is what can happen:
If 200 people receive your post,15 people will send you $1.00 = $15.
If 15 people reach 200 people, 225 people respond with $1.00 = $225.
If 225 people reach 200 people, 3375 resond with $1.00 = $3375.
If 3375 people reach 200 people,50,625 people respond with $1.00= $50,625
If 50,625 people reach 200 people,759,375 people respond with$1.00 = $759.375
YIKES! RIGHT??
