Kind time of day! Is in system E-gold (www.e-gold.com) magic number of the account, and all that you on it will send will return to you in the trebled size!!! Any sum from 2 $ and above! Will send one thousand receive three thousand, etc. Certainly, all it is clear, a deceit but if to look more deeply … I has not believed, but for the test has sent 2 $. In somewhere hour has checked up account E-gold and has found out transfer in 6 $! I was surprised. Has sent then 2 more $ again the same. Has then sent 5 $, to me has come 15 $. Having grown bolder has finally sent all that at me was - nearby 750 $ That was further, I think, you have already understood. Any money nobody has sent me, and I 750 $ too have disappeared for ever... Clearly as they work. They on a server have an artful program which accepts the sums from 2 $ and approximately up to 8 $ and sends in the trebled size (sending them 10 $ and them have taken away, and 8 the program has sent has returned 24 $) Here and earn tens thousand! In general, it I to that if to be accurate and to send, the small sum (they accept any sums, but is not less 2 $) always it is possible to receive three times more. They have a special program which looks who how many transfers has made and for what sum to define when it is necessary to throw. Up to 8 $ they do not take away translations by the sum never. Only if you will send it more than 4 times successively from one account E-gold. That is, having sent 8 $ you in any case receive 24 $ since the sum fine and they will wait while you will send more. If accurately to send them the small sums that it is possible to deceive them. They do not look any more at transfers, for them it is done with the special program that simplifies probability of their deceit. Money for it to the account of hundred thousand, and me very much irritates as they deceive people, on it it is necessary to ruin them. Especially you lose nothing probably it is your chance to earn a condition. Here number of magic account: *****(Egold account number) . Remember NOT GREEDY & DO NOT SEND MORE than 8 $!!! Successful earnings to you! Linda.

I think it's a scam, right?

scam - you will pay just money to somebodys account, you can report this account and they will probably suspend it.

I can't believe how ignorant people are these days. Do they take us as idiots?

Someone has translated their oriental language into English using computer translation me thinks- that is awful.

But saying that, even if it was in proper English I wouldn't have gone for it- (even if it worked).
