This is a pyramid scheme!!

they work! if your at the top!
when you say you've recieved $42K
that means there is 42 thousand people who are below you... What are the
chances of me getting another 42 thousand people below me ?

The funniest thing is you'll never even read this post and 99% of newgroup
reader a sick to death of this shit being posted daily...

maybe since i have you address i'll forward it to a bomb making site or
better.. the unabomber.

> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own

>
> Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at the top of your screen select

>
> Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of
the
> blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will paste
>a
> copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
>
> Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number
>everyone else's positions), and add yourself in as #6.
>
> Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
> postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back
to.

>
> Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
>
> Step 5. Fill in the subject.
>
> Step 6. Same as #6 above.
>
> Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button.
> -------------------------------------------
>
> 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

the

>
>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

>
> 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! And as I said 5
> responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put

>
> at #6 $15.00
> at #5 $225.00
> at #4 $3,375.00
> at #3 $50,625.00
> at #2 $759,375.00
> at #1 $11,390,625.00
> IT I$ CALLED PYRAMID SCAM
>
> When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting

> the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting
