Can anyone tell me what's the Oprah Paypal $5 program? Is it a spam? WHEN WAS IT ON OPRAH, and 20/20?

It wasn't, scammers lie, and it's a chain letter scam.

There may be an age restriction. PayPal is one of the most popular online money transfer systems widely used for online auctions, pay to surf programs, e-books and purchase of  low value goods. It is now a part of the online auction website eBay. More details available at\n http://www.money-transfer.in/paypalindia.html

I joined cashcrate back in August, filled out the surveys and have yet to receive any money. All I ended up with was hundreds of emails of spam from signing up with the promotional offers required to complete the surveys. If you want my honest opinion, it's a complete waste of time.

I'm pretty sure PayPal has a setting for this on their site. They used to, anyway.

They do have a forum http://www.cashcrate.com/forum/\nand I don't think they would allow freeom to talk among the members if they didn't pay...wouldn't make sense.  I was on there the other night asking some questions, (I'm marytoad on there, pm me if you'd like!;-)  ). and one of the members said they had 80 something referrals & "this site pays".\n\nI just bought $250+ worth of advertising today, I believe in that site so much.  My teenage daughter does the ads & I am mainly into the referral part of it!  \n\nIt's fun.  PM me on there, if you want to - you've got a friend here! Or email: mamabearbea at yahoo dot com.

I'd like to show you my PayPal account but I think it would be against the TOS. There are many people making money online today. It's best to do some research first on Internet Marketing forums such as the Warrior Forum. The top marketers hang out there and you can get free advice and information on anything to do with Internet Marketing today.

No, I don't believe she asked the question. On Oprah Winfrey's profile it talks about her in the third person. This was blatant promotion thought up by her publicist or someone.\n\nHowever, $1000 would help some people. It would be enough to feed a homeless person for a few weeks.\n\nAs for how she got 97 points - everyone here starts off with 100 points and then lose 5 points for asking a question. This would bring her down to 95 points, she probably got another 2 points for signing in twice (you get a point every time you sign in).

Sounds like someone running a scam.  They offer you a % of a multi-million dollar amount?  Delete the e-mail, record it as spam and go on about your business.

Actually, I don't think the average person knows how much mail she gets on a daily basis, all asking for help of some kind. And the millions of e-mail, containing the same messages. She had a show, where she showed what the inside of her mail room looked like. It showed stacks of mail, all from one day. It nearly filled the room! She has a full-time staff that's dedicated to reading that mail. It's rare that a few of them get picked to receive anything. Mostly, it's to make the show look good...and Oprah. I sent her a letter, a couple of years ago, reagarding me needing teeth really bad. I didn't have insurance at the time, with one tooth being impacted. I never got a response that told me they had even received my letter. I have, since then, received some help and got my teeth fixed. I'm not necessarily saying you'd never get chosen, I'm just trying to be realistic. You might be waiting for the rest of your life. Or, you could be one of the "chosen ones" and things would be really great for you. I would like to encourage you to see if your community has a Habitat For Humanity, and make out an application to receive one of their homes. You would be making small monthly payments on a home that you helped build. The payments are interest free...you only pay on the cost of the materials, plus property taxes and insurance. It's what I and my husband did. We've lived in our home now for over a year and we love it. They did such a good job, and we were very much a part of the work that went into our home, even picking out the rugs & colors of the cabinets! This is a very good program and is based on how bad the place is where you are now living. If you're living with others, sharing rent, you would still qualify. You also must have income of some kind. It's all based on need and ability to pay, even if you only have a small income. Give it a try. Anyone else that reads this can give it a try too. It makes your home that much more yours when you've worked on it. <*)))><

Wow.\nSorry that happened to you!\nI was screwed on Ebay a few times, so no longer use it (yes, screwed out of $500 too, by a dirty dropshipper). \n\nI think that Paypal needs to be looked into because they are reselling Visa and Mastercard-- which is technically illegal. Merchant accounts are for the single merchant ONLY, but probably because paypal makes them money, it's being overlooked. Ccbill and other third party payment processors also fall into that grey area, from what I undertstand.\n\nPaypal also acts as a bank, which could be illegal (I don't know). \n\nEbay should probably be monitored more closely... I noticed that there is NO requirement for photographers and "producers" selling their stuff to have proof-of-model-release or other 2257 documentation. This means that you could take sick pics of your neighbor in a bathing suit, and not have to prove that she ever gave you permission (much less is over 18).... THAT concerns me (especially with all the pervy photographers and men I've known!)!!\n\nI think people should boycott ebay and that they should use a system similiar to amazon.com- where payment is processed THRU them and if you don't provide proof of shipping within X days then the money is refunded to the customer. This would protect both parties.

There are some but you also have to realize that the rates are as low as 5 to 10 cents per email unless there are specific or special emails that will pay more. You have to read a ton of emails to make the money that you may be looking into getting. Try this website I've been using it and I've received money via paypal. Although it says surveys it also does, emails, advertising and secret shopper opportunities.

I have been with eBay as a seller and buyer for 9 years and I never heard of this. Be cautious. I only accept Paypal myself .

I didn't know that they existed.  I will have to check them out.  The questions are:  Which charities benefit from their generosity?\nHow much of their revenue do they donate?\nDo their advertisers write off their advertising as a charitable contribution?\nThanx for the question.

Yes, BIG scam. I got scammed by a damn program called The Power of People Network. There was a big news interview and everything about it. DON'T DO IT !!! They want you to ( give ) a huge sum of money, then you gotta "return phone calls" asking people to do the same thing. This is a pyramid scheme and is very illegal. Hope this helps.\n\nYou should check this site out \n\nhttp://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=1...\n\nIt is totally legitimate and free to join. You get paid by doing surveys and free offers, you never have to spend a dime and they pay every month. You can also get 20% from referrals earnings as well as 10% from second level referrals ! It's easy and again it's FREE !

Sounds like a scam:\n"Mailing $1.00 per Envelope"\n\nWho in the right mind would give somebody a dollar to mail an envelope?!\n\nAnyways, I always keep this in mind.  If you have to "pay" a membership fee to find a way to make money... then its a scam
