    You'd have to be a fool to be involved in this...

    Hello,

    You receive this email because we have just visited your website/blog and we would like to invite you to join our fast making money program.

    We have a huge number of members joining us since 2005 and each of them is making a good earning until now.So,what actually is the concept?It's easy,each of the member clicks on each other Google Adsense Advertisements once in a day.

    Now,you might be wondering that Google Adsense Team might find it out and they will ban your account instantly.But to tell you the fact,not only our accounts not getting banned,but on the contrary we are making almost $5000 monthly.

    Certainly,we have our own clicking methods and it's almost impossible for Google to detect it.Well,before we tell you how it's done,we want you to consider first and then give us a favorable reply as soon as possible.Your reply is either yes or no.

    Thank you.

    Yours sincerely,
    AdsenseForumAdmin

    Wary? That scheme is illegal from every perspective that I can think of.

    People involved in such scams ought to consider the potential for some attorney general somewhere in the United States to pursue it as a deliberate attempt to defraud advertisers.

    Secondly, how in the world does anyone expect to keep such a project secret from Google if they are inviting new people to participate based on a visit to "x" website?

    Thirdly, how long before Google itself operates such a sting in an effort to uncover criminally-minded webmasters?

    I almost forwarded it to Google, but am too paranoid they will mistakenly think that I am the one running the scam.
