    I saw many people posted in my forum about Paypal earning game whereby you have to send money to the other guys. He will send to other too. I know you have seen it somewhere,

    When i see this post i always delete it and warn the member about such posting because I think it is very unethical.

    What do you think?

    I think you should not tolerate these kind of schemes. They are just a simple form of scam.

    In the Uk pyramid schemes are ILLEGAL!

    This includes all these silly schemes where you get sent a 'product' monthly (the product being some sort of report or other). A sheme is demed to be illegal if the main way of earning money is through recruitment.

    In the uk it carrys a £5000 fine and 3 years in jail for promoting these schemes.

    Agree AHKIP - it is a scam - so the question could have been is it Scam or no Scam.

    I disagree it is not a scam if people are getting paid. it is PURELY in the case of pyramid schemes, unethical as the moment everyone available has signed up, those who paid in last can not make money.

    it is not a scam coz people make money from it.
    Unethical in the way that those spammers spam our sites with those paypal email lists. Unethical coz they make use of "quick cash" theme for those who wants quick money.

    For me, if it is an affiliate sites, i am okay with it. However, with paypal email game, I really hate it when people posts such thing.
