yes I actually did it!! I sent off my £3, put my name on the list and sent it to as many people as I could.
I didnt get anything back!!
I actually emailed the person who I sent my £3 to and she told me she made £12 in total |

It's definately a scam, I deal with Paypal alot and they would never allow anything like this. Paypal is a bank so ask yourself, would Barclays, Natwest or any other high street bank do this? |

Offers received by email come with no guaratees and are to a large extent unregulated. This means that noone can force the person organizing this to pay up.
So I would categorize this as a scam.
Also, considering the number of people recieving this email 10,000GBP is a pretty poor payout. |

its a scam like pyramid selling similar principle. The people at the end of the chain get nothing. it all hinges on people paying the money, if you are smart you wont risk it! |

What you are describing is a pyramid scheme. The U.S. Government has outlawed them. |

PYRAMID SCAM!!!!
there is money to be made if you start it off, hence you never pay anyone $3...
...but it's illegal, the same as chain letters.
REPORT IT TO THE POLICE!!! |

I would say a scam, however you could make some money but the amount of time it would take to get your name to the top (Since most people would instantly delete the email) for render any profits worthless |

Jedi's got it right! It sniffs of PYRAMID SCAM and anyone who send one of these e-mails to ME will be reported to the police. Gerrit? |

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. |

It sounds like the old pyramid thing that was around a long time ago. Only the people who got in at the very beginning made big profits. |

Its a chain/pyramid scheme.
Basically the other people on the list rarely exist so you NEVER get to number 1, and if you do you may make back your money as only 1 in 10 people usually submit funds |

This is just like pyramid selling. Basically the ones who start it off will make money as they are at the top...as people begin to mistrust it and stop adding their names less money is made so that ones at the bottom could potentially get a lot less than those at the top. |

It sounds like one of those "pyramid" schemes. Wiki pyramid scams and see what I mean. I wouldn't invest if I were you. |
