A FABULOU$ WAY TO TURN $6 DOLLARS INTO THOUSAND$
Thursday,  25 feb-2000

  I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back, I was browsing through
  newsgroups 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 $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 was certainly worth the $6.00, and six stamps. I have
spent more than that on a
  lunch!!

  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 ever
  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 scam; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and it is virtually no risk - it
  really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to,
you will receive extraordinary
  dividends.

  PLEASE NOTE: 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 now in the business of
Developing Mailing Lists. Many large
  corporations are willing and 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". Include your name and address.
Now get six US
  $1.00 bills and place ONE bill inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper
(so the dollar bill will not be
  seen through the envelope - this is to prevent thievery). Next, place
one paper (with the dollar
  bill wrapped inside) into each of the 6 envelopes and seal the
envelopes. 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!

  Put a stamp on each envelope and mail the 6 envelopes to the following
addresses:



  #1) Samantha Bussey
  113 McHenry Road #234

  #2) Micheal Kolb
  12217 Barbary Rd
  Philadelphia, PA 19154

  #3) Natalie Surkova
  506 Society Place
  Newtown, PA 19056

  #4) Greg
  1317 Bristol Lane
  Buffalogrove, ILL 60089

  #5) Lucie E. Wright
  1848 Todd Drive
  Arden Hills, MN 55112

  #6) Mark Jago
  3 yachtsman cres
  salamander bay
  nsw.australia.2317

  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 the 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! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title
18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the
  Postal 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 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 also.

  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. As each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
followed, six members will be
  reimbursed for their participation as List Developers 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, and 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 **

  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 and start
  posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people from
all over the world are
  joining the internet and reading these articles everyday JUST LIKE YOU
are now!! So, how can
  you not afford the $6.00 to see if it really works?? I think you can't
afford the opposite - to not
  give it a try. People have said, "What if the plan is played out and
no one sends me the
  money?" So what! It's only six bucks. What are the chances of that
really happening anyway
  when there are tons of new honest people who are joining the internet
and newsgroups
  everyday and who 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 - We're all on this planet together
and we're here to
  love one another. Can you think of a better way than to treat one
another kindly and to share
  the wealth?
