This must be running rampant in UK - this is the second one of these I've gotten! The sender is indeed someone I did business with last November but he is postcard POWERSELLER on ebay and his FB is over 700 ... IS HE CRAZY??? Is it legal in the UK??
Hi,
I'm sending you this email as in the past we did business via eBay and Paypal.
I recently received this email and nearly deleted it straight away but after giving it some thought decided to go for it as I was interested in making some extra cash!
Now, if I thought this wasn’t a good idea I wouldn’t want to upset my past customers and suppliers.
We all love eBay (otherwise we wouldn’t do it), but it can be hard work, photos, listings, packing, posting. Some days it seems to never end and most of us are trying to hold down a full time job as well.
Well this is a lot easier.
Please just ignore and delete this email if you're not interested... but curiosity got the better of me, maybe it will for you too?!
Below is a copy of the original advert that I have now taken part in.
I am sending you this to tell you that the scheme actually works and Paypal have admitted it’s totally legal!
Please read on and see what you think, sleep on it. If you want to participate, please just copy this email, replace my message with your own and send it to all your contacts......

*YOU CAN GET ALL PAST CONTACTS EMAIL ADDRESSES THROUGH YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT HISTORY*.
THE MAXIMUM MONEY YOU WILL SPEND IS JUST £3 & YOU ARE NOT SENDING ANY MONEY TO ME!!!
HOWEVER, YOU COULD MAKE AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND AS YOU WISH!!!!!
If you are still interested please read on.........................
Now I am not promising that you are going to make millions in 30 days but I must admit the odds look excellent, and the 2nd excellent thing about this business plan is that it can be done by anyone, anywhere in the World and your total investment stays at just £3.
These are some of the e-mail’s and proof that I came across which finally made me decide that I wanted to try this.
"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.
I am absolutely gob smacked" - Alan Humphries, Leicester
"Well what can I say? I sent out 40 emails like the plan said then I 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 £3000.00 in it!!! After 30 days I now have over £11,000 to spend"- Lisa McDonald, 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
Well that's it. I hope that you decide to go ahead with it.
If you decide that this isn't for you thanks for reading anyway and I hope to do business with you again in the future. Remember you can always pass it on even if you don't wish to do it yourself.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The first thing you need to do is send a £3.00 payment from your Paypal account to the FIRST email address in the list below, along with a note saying "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST".
Instructions on how to send a payment are under "SEND MONEY" at the Paypal site. It is very easy.

I got dozens of those a couple weeks ago. finally one person hit "Reply All" and stated that if they got one more of these notices they were notifying PayPal and having the senders account shut done (it's disallowed on PayPal no matter where you are) and everyone else on the mailings account watched. They magically dried up.

No, I'm saying -- I'm merely -- I'm saying what I'm saying. I don't know why I'm always having people say, are you trying to say -- you know what you can do if you want to know what I'm saying is listen to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is what I said ...
