> > A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across

this

> > Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses

bottom

> > (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it

> > Well GUESS WHAT!!...
> > within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked? I

> > Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or

> > 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

> > 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.) George B.

> > 2.) M. Hall

> > STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as

> > ---DIRECTIONS----FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS---
> >
> > STEP 1: You do not need to re-type letter to 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 bottom of the list and to change the numbers of 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 search 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 is 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 is it! You will begin receiving money form
> > 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.**
> >
> > Now the WHY part:
> >
> > Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
> > example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter.
> > Now, 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, this is an additional $25.00 for me.
> > Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
> > replies each. This brings in an additional $125.00. Now, those 125
> > persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
> > and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00.
> >
> > Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM
> > 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. 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 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an
> > 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? Anyway, it is only $6.00 for a chance
> > at thousands. 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. You
> > wouldn't want someone to cheat you the same way you may be cheating!
