It's just a variation on the chain letters you get asking you to send $5 to the addresses within. Forward it to [email protected] and they will take care of these lusers.
And these lusers clearly don't know that everyone has to have a VERIFIED account before they can collect the $5 So there goes the scheme.

I really want to meet "Julie M of St. Louis"...
What I get a chuckle out of also are the email chain letters that threaten doom if you "break the chain". They come complete with similar comments like "This is for real! I broke the chain and my mother died!". I'm sure that if your mother died the first thing you'd do is to track down the originators of a chain letter so they can include a quote from you...

erikaspleasures,
Please delete all email addresses as well as the PayPal referral link. That should bring the post within the CG's.
I will allow one hour for editing and if it's not done within that time I will have to delete it. If I delete the post, it will delete the entire thread as your post originated the thread.
Thank you for your cooperation.

What a crock. What really boils me is these spammers try to intimidate people using the "this is not Spam under compliance with HR 1910".
HR 1910 was passed by the House in May of 1999 but it isn't worth the paper it is written on because the Senate didn't pass a corresponding bill and therefore it was not sent to the President to be signed and it is not law. If this were true then every bill the House passes would become law and we wouldn't have any checks or balances, or need the Senate, or the President.
Just because the House passes a bill doesn't mean squat. All it is another House bill that got passed and went no where. It is just a bill that passed so the House members can tout it to their constituents at election time about how they support this and that without any real change or law in effect.
These spammers need a lesson in how a bicameral form of government works.
This message is sent in compliance of the
new email Bill HR 1910. Under Bill HR 1910 passed by the 106th US Congress on May 24, 1999, this message cannot be considered Spam as long as we include the way to be removed. Per Section HR 1910, Please type "REMOVE" in the subject line and reply to this email.
All removal requests are handled personally an immediately once received.
So there goes the scheme.
