>>: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!
>>
>>: I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
>>: while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
>>: and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
>>: thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
>>: $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
>>: like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
>>: that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
>>: article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
>>: the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
>>: (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
>>: over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
>>: figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
>>: right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
>>: within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
>>: figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
>>: first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
>>: made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
>>: $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
>>: have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
>>: rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
>>: than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
>>: importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
>>: article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
>>: I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
>>: will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
>>: something so easy!
>>
>>: Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
>>: download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
>>: in!
>>
>>: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
>>: postage)
>>
>>: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
>>: illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!
>>
>>: If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
>>: extraordinary dividends.
>>
>>: PLEASE NOTE:
>>: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
>>: yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
>>: the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
>>: success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
>>
>>: You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
>>: your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
>>: the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
>>: happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
>>: from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
>>: people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
>>
>>: Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
>>
>>: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
>>: each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
>>: get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
>>: paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
>>: thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
>>: them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
>>: paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
>>: bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
>>: LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
>>: it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
>>: about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
>>: Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
>>: legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
>>:
>>
>>: #1) Frank Stevens
>>P.O. Box 264
>>Tupelo, Ok 74572
>>
>>: #2) Jason Williamson
>>202 Park Dr.
>>Ada, Ok 7482
>>
>>: #3) Dennis E. Ribble
>>RR3 BOX 32-1B
>>Benton, PA 17814
>>
>>: #4)Rob Tripp
>>3510 Moorpark Ave. #103C
>>San Jose CA 95117
>>
>>: #5)Bryan Smith
>>25111 Patrick Brush Run Rd.
>>Richwood, OH 43344
>>
>>: #6)Tara Rose
>>P.O. Box 241,
>>Trochu Alberta,
>>T0M 2C0
>>Canada
>>
>>: STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
>>: the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR
>>: Name as number 6 on the list.
>>
>>: STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
>>: close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
>>: least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
>>: you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
>>: make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :)
>>
>>: This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
>>: Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
>>: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
>>: you can use it again, and again.
>>
>>: PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
>>: honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
>>: adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
>>: integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
>>: others have received will come your way.
>>
>>: NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
>>: either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
>>: This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
>>: be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
>>: of mail theft.)
>>
>>: So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
>>: six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
>>: Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
>>: geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
>>: be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
>>: only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
>>: it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
>>
>>: ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
>>
>>: Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
>>: posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
>>: drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
>>: from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
>>: computer's memory.
>>: Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
>>: of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
>>: paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
>>: to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
>>: you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always
>>: have this file to go back to.
>>: Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
>>: various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
>>: discussions.)
>>: Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
>>: message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
>>: from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
>>: everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
>>: particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
>>: your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
>>: jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
>>: it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE
>>: MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU
>>: HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving
>>: money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
>>: rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
>>: you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
>>: the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
>>: CORRECT.**
>>
>>
>>: each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
>>: postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
>>: of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
>>: make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
>>: will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
>>: around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5
>>: replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the
>>: fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
>>: my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
>>: $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
>>: newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
>>: newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
>>: investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
>>: list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
>>: out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
>>: again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
>>: realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
>>: internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
>>: now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
>>: so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
>>: one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
>>: happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
>>: people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
>>: willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
>>: users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
>>: internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
>>: work.
