Here is something that may be of interest to people. Another money making program that solicits you by unwanted emails at your home as well as advertising on their own webpage. I received this email with the link late Sunday night.

"Along with our amazing $40 By The Millions package - see below, we will send you an extra special attention-compelling ad for you to place anywhere, and as often as you like, and you get all of this plus huge bonuses for only $40!!!"

Aside from the listing of all you get for your $40 dollars, this part caught my eye and I thought it might be of interest.

"Free Luxury Vacation Packages at your choice of 85 of the Nations Finest Resorts and hotels!"

"$500 in Entertainment Benefits!"

I remember a few months ago there were a lot of Vacation Packages and Entertainment Packages that were a scam. Looks like now the scams are being pushed by selling a package of ad software and training in advertising. That along with a "Killer Mini Site" ready to make you instant profits.

My question is does this sound familiar even tho it is not at all a matrix scheme? Buy my ebooks and get a free computer. Buy my software for advertising and get free vacations and entertainment.

Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

How can we afford to give you so much for so little?
Because it really works!


That doesn't sound too promossing. They ask themselves a question and they just don't answer it. Hrmmmm...

If you take off the html part of the address and just use their wonderful IP address, you have the opportunity to buy Microsoft Office 2003 for $98. Thats $400 off retail! Something just doesn't seem legit if you ask me.


Instant Profits from A Steady Stream of $40 Bills.

Does monopoly money even have $40 bills?

I didn't look too deep in this site, but it seems like pure pyramid. You get your own site and people give you money. So, after they give you money I assume they get their own site, etc?

I'm still not entirely sure what this program is about. Ok, I give some stranger a $40 bill (I guess using photoshop) just so I can get worthless software and sell it to others for $40 bills? I'd rather accept $20 bills...they might be more legal tender.

Just remember, when you send me your money, ask to be put on my mailing list so its all legit.

Thanks for sharing sisco.

I think it is a randomizer/doubler based on recruiting. You will only get paid for people who signup from your "killer mini site" (what an terrible name). It clearly stated that you need to place advertisements all over the town and pollute the town with ugly posters (unless they have pretty one?).

See, nowadays, when you notice a scam, they are all too easy to identify. So, it is not that 'challenging' just to say " this is a scam". What is more interesting, at least for me, is to see if anything 'creative' about this particular scam.

As for this one -- boring and uncreative.

Well, if they are working with $40 bills, then I know how this works. You send them a $40 via paypal. Then they get a $40 and place it on the copy machine. For every spot that you buy, they hit the copy button. Then poof, you have a million $40 bills. That is the only logical way they can give you so much in $40 bills. Maybe the next scam will be smarter than this one. Maybe they will use the $9.99 bill.
