Hi Everyone
I hesitated about trying this and ended up in financial collapse. Now
that I have tried it, I receive envelopes by mail with pound coins in
them. How is this possible? Take a minute and read This is not a get
rich quick scheme; it is your own home business developing mailing
lists. It is legal. Like most people I am sceptical of things of this
nature. But, after much thought, I have tried it out. Honestly, it
takes a lot of work on your part to make it work. In the end you will
be satisfied.
Please read through the attached comments and excerpts. They are
quite thorough on how this will work for you. There is absolutely
nothing to lose on this deal!!!!
(Excerpt From Bob Novak Who Started This New Version)
NEW VERSION ! 1997 (Legal Questions Addressed!)
"In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an internet newsgroup
telling me that I could make �50,000 within a month for an
investment of only �5. I thought, "OH YAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE
I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!" It sounded like all the rest of the "get rich
quick" schemes and scams I've seen over the past 40 years or so. I
spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about it, and they all
agreed it was some kind of scam. I can't stand scams, because
usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me. After
rejecting the idea at first, it kind of played on my mind and I
thought, "what if it really worked?" I realised all I had to lose was
�5.00, I usually blow that much on the lottery every week anyway, so
I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a shot. Within two
weeks I began receiving money in the mail! Soon, hundreds, and then
thousands of pounds began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had received
a total of �46,812.00! It came from everywhere in the world."
Lately, I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even
faster. I would tell you how much but then the Taxman would know
also, let's just say it's a VERY comfortable living. Now, I am really
going to work! If I can make as much as I have, and still am, on a
lousy �5.00 investment, why not double it and make the "Big Bucks"
twice as fast? Anybody can afford to gamble �5.00 on a chance to
make �50,000.00 or more in a month, especially when the business
has already proven itself. If you follow the three steps below, there
is no reason why the same shouldn't happen to you! This is a
legitimate investment opportunity. You invest �5, and you receive a
return on your investment. So does the next investor. THIS IS NOT
ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS PERFECTLY
LEGITIMATE. (See additional legal details below.). THE
PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:
1) Invest your �5.00 by writing your name and address on five
separate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO
YOUR MAILING LIST: �1 PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED." (In
this way, you're not just sending ONE pound to someone; you're
paying for a legitimate service.) Place �1 ( OR EQUIVALENT
CURRENCY), postal order, or bank note inside each piece of paper,
and mail them to the following five addresses:
1. Kevin Lee Gourzis
12613 Beechfern Lane
Bowie, MD .20715
2. Paul Garrod
213 W. College St
Nacogdoches, TX 75961
3. Jeffrey A. Roy
95 Morton Ave.
Woonsocket, RI. 02895
4. Sashko Enterprises
14836-Parkland Blvd S.E.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2J 4X7
5. Geoff Young
PO Box 3953
Glasgow
G51 1NZ
UK
2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four
names up. In other words, 5 becomes 4 and so on. Put your name as
the fifth one on the list. You can do this by simply retyping the article
or reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.
3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 25,000, so
it shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember, there are no "Free
Lunches" in this world so the harder you work the more money you
will make.
You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start
seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups
you post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain
anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, but make sure your address is
correct.
LEGAL ? ? ?
People have asked me if this is really legal. It is! You are using the
Internet to advertise your business. What is that business? You are
assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based
computer and online businesses and methods of generating income at
home. Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your
list. It is legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names?
That's up to you. "
MORE LEGALESE:
This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid
scheme' by doubters and those unwilling to risk �5 for the chance at
a huge payoff. This is not a pyramid, and not even as close to one as
many 'legitimised' multi-level marketing systems (Amway, NSA, etc.
Etc.). The difference here is that the names above you do not remain
on the list forever -- in five rounds they are removed. There is no
residual income that continues forever with no further effort on your
part. You can always add your name to the bottom of the next list you
see, but you start from the bottom again.
Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income, and
pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions, and
can also take advantage of business write-offs on your tax return.
You need your computer, an Internet account, and a spreadsheet,
database or mailing list software to conduct your business. You will
also need to drive to the bank, the post office, the office supply
store -- all of these costs can be used to offset your income taxes.
There really is no risk -- eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've
covered the �5. The biggest risk is not to try.
There's my pitch; Now back to BOB NOVAK:
" NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS:
The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size
every 4 months. Think about it. You see those "Make Money Fast"
posts more and more. All that growth means profits for everyone
who participates. There are no losers.
Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. That probably
doesn't seem like much. You make �5 for every 200 posts with your
name at no.5.
Each person who sent you �1 now also makes 200 additional postings
with your name at no.4. i.e.. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50
people will send you �1 with your name at no.4. �50.00. Your 50 new
agents make 200 postings each with your name at no.3 or 10,000
postings. Average return 500 people = �500.00. They make 200
postings each with your name at no.2 = 100,000 postings = 5000
return at �1 each = �5,000.
Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at no.1 and
you get a return of �50,000 before your name drops off the list.
AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200
POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle = �50,000. From time to time,
when you see your name no longer on the list, you take the latest
posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another �5, and
put your name at no.5, and start posting again. Remember, 200
postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the
return.
Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS �5, AND 5
STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford �5 for such an
effortless investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS. Some
people have said to me, "what happens if the scheme is played out
and no one sends me any money?" Big Deal, so you lose �5.00 but what
are the chances of that happening? SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW
PROGRAM AS OF July 1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND
FLOOR! There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net
surfers every month.
Remember- read the instructions carefully, and play fairly. THAT'S
the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back to
this article easily.
Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good books, pay
your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure
everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then
don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone
you know who really needs the money, and see what happens.
REMEMBER-HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT IS �5 TO
YOU? YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE
MONEY!!! (We will monitor the program and if we find you have
cheated by not sending your money to your five recipients, we will
just dump you out of the system). This is the easiest way that you can
make money. Think how excited you'll be to open up your mailbox day
after day! Will it be �50? or �5,000? Start making your plans,
because it can happen to you.
DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!! "
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB
BROWSER:
The Fastest Way To Post To a Newsletter:

some-thing flashy, like, "NEED CASH ��� READ HERE ���" or
"FAST CASH"!!!
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at
no.5, and remove no.1 off the list, plus any other small changes you
think you need to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!
4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in
THIS BOX, RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS
NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX. Click on SAVE AS when
you're under FILE. Save your article as a text file to your C: or A:

QUICK TIP!
You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time by simply

again. Now every time you post the article in a new newsgroup all you
have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.
3) That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT
newsgroups, or more.
You see? Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.).
REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM.
