    Today my inbox has been bombarded by PMs of a certain Dan Norris. Are you receiving the same type of scam email?

    Hi,

    I will pay you $40 to your PayPal within 24 hours if you sign-up with a web-hosting website for just $0.01 with your own PayPal.

    You just have to spend $0.01 from your PayPal to earn the $40 from me by PayPal.

    Are you interested ?

    If yes .....

    1. Then plz go to : Affiliate URL here and on that page on the left-below, you'll see a plan called "Personal" and a little below it, there is an

    "Order Now" button. Click on it.

    2. Now click on the "I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain." radio-button. After that remember one of the domain

    name you own and enter it in the blank field saying "www". Then click on "Click to Continue".

    3. On the next page, click on "Add to Cart".

    4. On the next page, enter the coupon "1CentPersonal" (without the double quote) in the "Promotional Code" field. And then click on "Validate Code".

    5. Then you will see that the Total price has come down to just $0.01. (The $6.99 fee is to be deducted from next month and you will cancel this subscription

    later on) Now click on the "Checkout" button.

    6. On the next page, fill up your details. Then click on "Complete Order" button.

    7. On the next page, on the top-right you will see a yellow-coloured PayPal subscribe logo - click on it.

    8. On the next page, log on to the PayPal.

    9. Here you will see that the website is charging you only $0.01 and a small monthly fee of $6.99 payable after 30 days. This is a subscription. That website

    will automatically deduct a monthly fee of $6.99 from the next month.

    IMPORTANT NOTE : You will accept this $0.01 payment and the $6.99 subscription (payable after 30 days) for the time being only but after 7 days, you will

    have to cancel the $6.99 monthly subscription, so that I can recover my affiliate fee from that website.

    10. After you have paid, plz go to the website and browse the website for 5 minutes and then log out.

    //////////

    After this, plz send me an invoice of $40 by PayPal to me to and write your email adress with which you have signed-up with that

    website in the "Message" field (so that I can verify whether you have indeed signed-up or not) and within 24 hours, I will pay you $40 to your PayPal.

    Thax and have some action ! Happy earning !

    Dan Norris

    If you want to stop it faster, go through the steps as far as you need to go to get the affiliate url/id and report them to the company.

    Companies love to ban affiliates for gaming the system and if they don't have the thing to promote anymore, they wont.
