Once again, cons are abusing this newsgroup, with illegal money-making
schemes.

Yes, this is illegal.

For those of you who read this, just check out the link below, or find out
for yourself. This is listed under Pyramid Schemes, Chain Letters and Ponzai
Schemes. Enough said.

place

envelope

> Next, place each paper with your name/address on in each of the 6
envelopes and

> What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
> You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!

> So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161)

> Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

addresses,

> PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the

> NOTE: You should keep every name and address sent to you,

> ---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** (easy when there are over 40,000)
> 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.**
>
> 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, 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 �626.00! 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

> Why not post more than 200
