Got this from someone on ebay that i bought something off a while ago, i wrote back saying i had a decent job etc, don't need to bother and they replied, but she seems to believe it 
anyone actually ever tried it...........bit long
"Hi there,
I don't know if you remember we traded on ebay & I really hope you don't
mind I picked your address from my Paypal list. If you don't want to
participate, please just delete the message.
I have never actually done one of these before and I promise this is a
one-off and I definitely won't send you anything like this again, but for
once I actually think there is something in this & decided to give it a go,
nothing ventured, nothing gained! If you also decide to go ahead as well
I'll love to hear how you got on and I'd be happy to let you know if it
worked for me or not....
Firstly I know this kind of thing is not for everybody so if it's not for
you please accept my apologies.
As we did business on eBay this year, I thought you might be interested in
this moneymaking opportunity. The most you can lose is £3.00 and you could
make a lot of money. I never normally take part in this sort of thing but
after reading all the fuss about this and seeing several emails I thought
I'd give it a try! I have just paid someone £3.00, so it is working for
someone!!
As you know I am a buyer /seller on eBay and use Paypal and a real genuine
person hoping to earn some cash . I know the person very well who sent me
the message
to be and that they are also a genuine person so I feel for once it is
'the real deal'! I feel sure that we can both benefit financially from the
following plan.
This email is going round Paypal and eBay users and it seems to be working.
Please do not delete this before reading in full, it is not a scam and is
not junk mail. Yes, like me, you have no doubt heard this before in some
form but not in connection with 78 million paypal accounts. Paypal have also
admitted that this is legal and trading standards are not aware of any
problem.
All it involves is a one off initial payment of £3.00, and approximately 20
minutes of your time.
These are some of the emails that I came across which finally made me decide
that I wanted to try this. I'm just trying it for fun really, I'm sceptical
about it I will admit, but I'm fed up of trying to win the lottery! (I
decided to email the person who was at the top of the list in my meaasage to
see if he was genuine and got a positive response - " I joined this about
just over 2 weeks ago, it took about 8 days to get my £3 back (quite a few
more since), so i assume it to have worked. Regards. Paul."
Emails other people have attached to the message ...
"What an amazing plan. I followed the instructions just 3 weeks ago, and
although I haven't made 10 grand yet, I am already up to £6,135. Am
absolutely gob smacked" - Alan Humphries, Leicester.
"Well what can I say? I sent out 40 emails like the plan said then just
forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything
would come of it, but I checked my PayPal account a week later and there was
over £3,000 in it!!! After 30 days I now have over £11,000 to spend" - Lisa
Donald, Northampton
"I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal
account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to £7,449. At first
I thought there had been some kind of error!" - Richard Barrie, Cirencester
"I was very sceptical when I first read this email, I nearly deleted it but
then thought about it and decided to give it a go! Some people spend more
than £3 per week on the lottery, so what's a one off payment of £3 going to
matter!! I've got my fingers crossed that I will have some extra spending
money in my Paypal account very soon! PS Wishing good luck and fortune to
you all" - Jackie
The problem with these types of scheme is that usually they run out of
people to pass onto & people aren't always comfortable sending these things
to friends - but with 78 million users and more joining every day, how
likely is that? Plus, they usually require high investment - this doesn't.
If you are eager like I am by this stage, then read the instructions
outlined below taken from the original email. It is really easy to do, then
you can just sit back and wait for those payments to go into your Paypal
account.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The first thing you need to do is go to www.paypal.co.uk and send a £3.00
payment from your PayPal account to the FIRST email address in the list
below. You will also have to select a Subject; either 'Service' or 'Goods
(other)' should be fine. Instructions on how to send a payment are under
'SEND MONEY' at the Paypal site. It is very easy:
The current list:
1. sharonhammond@btinternet.com
2. three.masons@virgin.net
3. sheshana@hotmail.co.uk
4. Linz_W@msn.com
5. discountswales@aol.com -this is me
Copy and paste this page (and make any necessary changes). Remove the email
address that you have paid from the number 1 spot, move all the others up a
space, and insert your own email address in the number 5 spot ( Remember to
take EXTRA care when typing the email addresses) then send the page to as
many people as you can.
A good way is to send it to all the people in your PayPal history:
Go to history tab on paypal to download the history in column on left hand
side.
Choose 'custom date range' - select 'comma delimited - all activity' from
file types to be downloaded
Then press 'download history' at bottom of page.
A spreadsheet will be downloaded with a complete list of people you've
traded with
Highlight the column which contains email addresses
copy then paste them into the "to" section when creating the email
then just send the email
EASY!
Here's how it works:
When you send your email, your email address will initially be at No 5 on
the list. That is the best position that you can be in if you wants to earn
serious money.
The response rate for this program is much higher than any typical email
marketing campaign for a number of reasons, which are explained later on.
As long as you send out your emails to people whom are likely to be
interested in this program, then you can expect on average a response of
around 25%. But let's be extremely conservative and assume that the average
response rate is 12.5%!
If you send out 40 emails, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do
exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 = 5 people). By the time your email
address will have moved up to No 4 in the list, this list will now have
reached around 200 people (5 people x 40 emails=200 people).
Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate
12.5% of 200 = 25 people) so you are now reaching around 1000 people (25 x
40 emails) and you are now at No 3 on the list.
Out of those 1000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate
(12.5% of 1000 = 125) so you are now reaching 5000 people 125 x 40 emails)
and you are now No 2 on the list.
Out of those 5000 people you can expect at least 650 of them to participate
(12.5% of 5000 = 625) so you are now reaching around 25000 people (625 x 40
emails) and you are now at No 1 on the list.
Out of 25000 people, you can expect at least 3,125 of them to participate
(12.5% of 25000 = 3125) so since you are now at the No1 spot you can expect
to receive around £9375 (3125 x £3).
So, when your name hits the No 1 spot it will be YOUR TURN to collect the
money. Over the course of 30 days this money will be sent to you by a few
thousand people like yourself who are willing to invest £3 and 20 minutes of
time to receive around £10,000 in cash.
The first payments will arrive within a few days and then they will continue
at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days obviously this
will depend on how quickly you act and how quickly people take you up on
this offer and then pass it on).
After that time the volume of payments begins to taper off as your email is
removed from the No 1 position. That's all you need to do! There will be
around £10,000 in £3 payments waiting for you in your Paypal account within
the next few weeks.
£10,000 for so little work! This is real money that you can spend on
anything you wish.
Just transfer it from your PayPal account to your bank account. It's that
easy!!!
Remember, the 12.5% example is assuming 35 out of 40 people you send your
email to will do absolutely nothing with it except delete it.
Additionally, the above example assumes that each participant will send out
only 40 emails. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1000
emails instead! You can send to as many people as you want - the more you
send the more likely you are to make money.
Unlike many other MLM programs this 5 LEVEL PROGRAM costs you only £3.00
which is much more realistic and provides much faster results. Only the
first person on the list gets your £3.00 gift, but everyone on the list will
rise to the No 1 position as thousands of emails are being sent out. No
cheating can occur and don't be fooled by claims this system can be cheated
as PayPal only allows one account per person. Because it's that easy the
response rate is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST. Internet email fast!! You may
start seeing dramatic results in less than one week.
GOOD LUCK!!
PLEASE GIVE IT A GO LIKE I DID SO I MIGHT AT LEAST GET MY £3.00 BACK!!!!"

Sounds like utter bollocks.
These thieving turds must think that everyone else in the world is a gullible fool.
I agree with Ollie too. Wouldn't be at all surprised. There's nothing those scumbags won't try.
