A FABULOUS WAY TO TURN $6 DOLLARS INTO A HORROR STORY
Thursday,   16 feb-2000

I found this on a bulletin board (which was a little strange as it keeps
mentioning to post it to newsgroups) 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 and an IQ of 7!

So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam" (mainly because my mind
can't encompass any word larger than 5 letters), but like most of us, I
was curious and more than a little stupid, 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 (most of them called me a
gullible moron), I thought about trying it.  I figured, "What have I got
to lose except 6 stamps, my credibility, all my friends, 6 dollars and
potentially my life right?"  

Then I invested the measly $6.00.  Well, GUESS WHAT!!...  Within 7 days,
I started getting death threats in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it
would end soon but no.  By the end of the second week I had a bad case
of nerves and I'm sure someone is hiding in the attic.  In the third
week I had major depression, there were strange figures hanging around
my house and following me to work.  This is now my fourth week and all
the pychos who read the newgroups (and remember I sent it to over 200 of
them) have got my address and regularly have parties at my house.  I am
posting this whilst hiding in my closet and hoping they dont drag me
around the streets again on the end of a rope.

Aaarrrggghhhh!!!
