That in large part is how Paypal got started. You would get an email that said: "You were just paid $25, click here to get your money." and you'd signup for Paypal.

No there was a big difference. Paypal was a referral system and the money came out of Paypal's pocket not the user sending the referral. So if the user never redeemed it was no loss to paypal.
