A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, and 
came across an article similar to this. It said that you could 
make thousands of dollars with in weeks with only an initial
investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Bullshit, this must be
a scam", but like you, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you should send $1.00 to each of the 
5 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place
your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #5,
and post the article in at least 200 mewsgroups (There are 
thousands). No catch, that was it. 
So after thinking it over, I figured what have I got to lose
except 5 stamps and $5.00, right? Like most of us I am little
skeptical and slightly 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!
So now I'm conducting my latest experiment; does this shit really
pay off? I don't know yet, it's only been two days since I invested
the measly $5.00. I figured that I usually spend the same amount of
money each day on my way to work, so why not spend it on something 
other than that usual coke, smoke, and doughnut at the quickie mart? 
What's five bucks amount to anyway? I mean, hell, five bucks
won't pay for my tuition for school or my rent, but if 100 people 
send me a buck, well.. That's a hundred bucks, and who can't use an
extra 100 bucks. So I'll make you a deal, if you send me, a buck, and 
it's the only one I get, I'll send it back to you, and I might even
throw in a stamp for your efforts. :)
So, Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why 
people say 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. The process is very simple and consists of 3 
easy steps:
 STEP 1: Get 5 separate pices of paper and write the 
following on each piece of paper  "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR 
MAILING LIST."  Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside 
EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen 
through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one 
paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should 
now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper 
stating the above phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are 
doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS PREFECTLY 
LEGAL!
 Mail the 5 envelpoes to the following addresses:
 #1 Michael Henry
    518 West College Ave.
    Salisbury, MD 21801
 #2 Kent
    27 Vicar Road
    Anfield
    Liverpool
    L6 0BW
    England
    U.K.
 #3 David West
    6020 Danube Way
    Orlando, FL 32807
 #4 Julie Hunter    
    14580 S. Camp Williams Rd.
    Bluffdale, Ut 84065-4903
 #5 J.White
    1310 Shawn ct.
    Redlands, CA 92374
   
 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see 
above, move the other names up ( 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, 
etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 5 on the list.
 STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this 
article as close to original as possible. Now, post your 
amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there 
is close to 18,000 groups) All you need is 200, but 
remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly 
the following:
 FOR NETSCAPE USERS,
    1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on 
"To News', which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup 
page.  This will bring up a message box.
    2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the 
one I used, somethig to catch the eye!!!
    3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype 
this letter exactly as it is here, with exception of your 
few changes. (remember to add your name to number 5 and 
move the rest up)
    4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 
'FILE' above the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND 
YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type 
this 200 times :-)
    5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and 
send your first copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top 
left corner)
    6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY 
newsgroup article and click the 'TO NEWS'button again. Type 
in your flashy subject in the 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the 
message and place your cursor here. Now click on 
'ATTACHMENT" which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click 
on attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. 
Click once on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. 
If you did this right , you should see your filename in the 
'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded.
NOW POST AWAY!!
