This does work. A mate at work has just started doing it. You only need 6 people in one link before you get your first cash back. He also bought a link to a million email addresses which he has started working through, took him about 1/2 hr t osend over 1000 emails. Obviously, only a small percentage of these people will do it, (most will delete it as spam) but as long as other people in the link send out the emails, you *could* make some good money. Look at it locically and you will see that it CAN work. Maybe not to the Ł000's that some make it out to be, but a good few hundred is capable.

There are gonna be people out there using it as a scam..with their name being all of the addresses, but you'd like to think that they're the ones who get recompense by snagging their bits in their zip or something equally painfull.
and on the flip side, there are some honest people out there doing it properly.

You might make cash from it, but for every one person that does, there are shitloads at the bottom that loose their money.

Probably why they are illegal

It is pyramid style scheme, yes. My mate prefers to call it a 'pillar scheme' as people are less wary. Do the maths:
6 people is all you need to get to the top of 1 list tho...

Ł3 won't last ya long tho fella.

Craig..you make it sound like a million puppies will be slaughtered if you take part!

I can totally see why people think it is just a scam..but there are probably honest ones as with everything. There are always a few people out to rip others off. I'm not saying that this particular one is kosha, or that you should take part init..but look at the figures...it does have some potential IF it is run correctly.

If you want to throw your money away then carry on, but i reckon if you send that email to 40 people all of them will delete it, and it may only be Ł3 but if you throw your money away on every 2bit scam these knobs send via email you will be skint before you know it.

Yes it IS possible to make money from it, but only if u are there right at the start, and even then it will be minimal.
Its plain and simple that not everyone who has a go at it will make money simply because the money that goes to the people who do make some has to come from somewhere.
IE. Someone will always be loosing out (namely all the idiots that beleive it can work)

My Dad actually lectures on these things, so I've picked up a fair few bits of info on these over the years.

The exact reason they don't work is because they are designed to collapse within a very short period of time.

However, with more people like yourself out there, when I start mine up, I'll be sure you get the first email
