Heads Up New Scam !!!

[Curlyben]

I received this in my mail box this morning:

Good Afternoon,
It may seem awkward, it is for me. I am currently working on a scavenger hunt with some friends of mine. I decided to e-mail some people to see if they could help me with something on the list.

2008 Scavenger Hunt :

1. A list of safety tips from the Stockton Fire Department.
2. 2 Red Paperclips
3. A rock shaped like an animal.
4. A picture of the state flag.
5. Something in writing that shows how many people live in Stockton.
6. A picture of a swan.
7. A picture of you and at least 10 pigeons.
8. A dollar from a complete stranger. ( Take a picture of you and the person. )
9. A dollar from a complete stranger from the internet. ( Print out proof you got a dollar )
10. A disposable cup with a business logo on it signed by an employee.
11. A picture of someone getting pulled over.
12. A picture of you getting a hug from a complete stranger.
13. A picture of you dancing with at least 20 people around you.
14. A program or flyer from a local event.
15. A one cent stamp.
16. A pizza coupon
17. A picture of someone walking there dog.
18. A 1980 coin (any demonination)
19. 2 paper napkins ( Each with different store logos on them )
20. A picture of someone with more than 4 kids ( Kids included in the picture )

I currently have most of them, I need to get a picture of someone being pulled over, that will not be to hard, I need to head to the mall in the morning, that is where I plan on getting most of the ones I need still. The only one that I am worried I wont be able to get is number 9. So hopefully you can help me out with that. You can email me back and I will explain why we are doing this and what not. Well, I look forward to your help. Feel free to use the link below if you want to assist me!

Thanks!

p.s. no I didnt send this to 40,000,000 people, I was instructed we could only message a maximum of 10 people. So, putting my egg in this basket!

>Legit Paypal Link<

Came from some one I don't know with a different reply to address.

Now it all sounds good, but reread it and tell me why I think this is a scam ??

Here are the tell tales on this one:

The only one that I am worried I wont be able to get is number 9

and

p.s. no I didnt send this to 40,000,000 people, I was instructed we could only message a maximum of 10 people.

As well as the different reply address.

Also the Paypal link goes to a check out page for $1.

Now scammers ALWAYS say "This isn't a scam"

OK so $1 is jack, but with the number of people this would of been sent to that's a tidy profit for ZERO work !!!

Re: Heads Up New Scam !!!

Lol, yep you got that right Cet, but I like to stay up with the scams doing the rounds.

Now I wonder if I set this up with my membership Db, what kind of response I would get
