Ok..help me here...does this really work?

SCAM!!! This is one of those things that I would NEVER do. While it seems that you have the potential to get (not make) a lot of money, people just seem to forget the old adage: "If it seems to good to be true, then it probably is!" You were waiting for the mathematicians...and I am a mathematician. To calculate the potential here, you would need to know how many people are in each layer of the "tree", and how many layers would potentially send you money. That said, I can't calculate the answer. In reality, what you probably need is a statistician --someone who could give you the odds in favor of everyone actually following the rules and participating properly!

I got a snail mail letter the other day asking me to send a dollar to 6 people on this list and then cross off the first person (i think it was the first) and that I will receive lots of money in return. I almost was going to do it but thought against it because like you say who knows if they are all honest people. I think it could work but HONESTY is the key word here.

Hi Gurl..........Yes it works; OR you could just flick a bic lighter and set the $$$ on fire. Either way YOU WILL LOSE. http://www.MSP77.com/MakeSeriousProfit77.html

In a perfect world, it would be nice to be on the receiving end. :) I have tried a few that are similar to this and did actually get a few payments before interest in the sites went down, but barely enough to get back what I put in. They are, however, better than randomizers, because your name stays on the list for every email you send out. For a better result you need to have a lot of people to send to because most people don't want to get involved with them. But, in a perfect world, send a million emails & they all decide to do it & you'd be rich!
