How would you like to make $75 - $250 every single day just for clicking your mouse ?
This program is a MUST for:
Stay at home moms or dads
People who are retired
Anyone who needs extra money but has little time to spend
Students who need extra income
Anyone who needs to stay home but needs an income
Many people ask me everyday - "Sebastian, there are so many 'make money on the net' guides out there - which one shall I buy - which one really brings in mon.ey - I finally want to start making mon.ey on the net".
Don't believe any hyped promises - you won't be making thousands of dollars every day and you won't be a millionaire by next year but my System is a surefire method
for everyone who wants to start earning online ".
All you have to do is click your mouse!
I will give you access to surveys that only take 15 minutes to complete and you will make an average $25 - $250 per survey. You will even get paid to watch movie trailers or to drive your car!
You will earn $10 - $50 per movie trailer that you preview - and up to $500 per week for driving your car!
For Full Details please read the attached .html file
To Unsubscribe please read the attached Unsubscribe.txt

And guess what the trusty 'information attached' is
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content= "0;URL=http://61.145.62.83/v/clickedcash/">
</html>
And guess what that page is...
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content= "0;URL=http://www.mg-bz.cn/clickedcash/">
</html>
Finally I'm led to a REAL site, far away from the supposed attached information.
I originally thought they would use Javascript in the attached web-page to do their dirty deeds, but the target site does that instead - just look at its source.
I'm running Noscipt, Cookiesafe and adblock+ plugins, so I thought it would be safe to have a look at the site.
Half-way down the page is a recommendation.
And so I google his name...
Wow, do you think it's the same guy?!?!

One that some people fall for is a "real" check they receive.
Often its a "Loan for college". The person is sent a VERY REAL looking check, by certified mail, with an amount OVER what they ask for, and is told to cash the check, and wire the difference in cash back to the scammer.
The person cashes the check, and the bank APPROVES it, because banking methods in the USA are archaic and backwards, and security is lax (This is documented by the FBI, they are sick of having to take cases because the bank wasnt careful). The person uses the fake money in their account to wire the transfer for the accidental "overpayment" to the scammer.
30 to 90 days later, when the bank finally finds out the check was no good, they tell the victim "Your check was no good, we'd like our $30,000 immediately".
One person I have read of in the newspaper could have faced jail time for fraud - and she was the victim in this same scheme.

Using 'Cancel' Worked.

I often reply to those E-mails with fake stuff, and eventually send em a picture of something 'Fail'.
One of those senders even emailed me back, asking what a 'Failboat' picture had to do with 'the case', and convincing me 'the case' wasn't fake (I emailed him a picture of a failboat).
