wow...that is unbelievable...where did you come up w/that idea?? "really" <really@whatthefuck.com> wrote in message news:b1f4a422.0201171145.745633d1@posting.google.com... > IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. > A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you > are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you > could make hundreds of thousands of dollars within weeks (which would > soon turn into millions) with only an initial investment of $60.00! 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 $10.00 > 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 250 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 $60.00, right?" Then I invested the measly > $60.00 (I use the word "measly" because $60 really is measly compared > to the money I have made through the initial investment). 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 about $250.00. By the end of the second > week I had made a total of over $10,000.00! In the third week I had > over $100,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week > and I have made a total of just over $420,000.00 and it's still coming > in rapidly. It's certainly worth $60.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent > more than that on the lottery!! 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 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 > $60.00 (Plus postage) > IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not > illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the > following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary > dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and > $500,000 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 in the > business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are > 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." Once added to the > list, each person will send you a new component and/or moneymaking > advice to help you along the way. This advice has been passed down > person to person and is very helpful. Now get 6 US $10.00 bills (or a > combination of bills totaling $10) and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 > pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to > prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes > and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a > piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address,and > $10.00 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. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: > > #1) Ben McNeally 3019 Restormel St.Duluth, MN 55806 > #2) Natalie Walker 643 North 47th Avenue WestDuluth, MN 55807 > #3) AJ Armbrust 3731 Grand AvenueDuluth, MN 55807 > #4) Timothy Zabe l102 Gilderbrook rd Greenville, SC 29615 > #5) Mike G PO BOX 45033 Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada B4E-2Z6 > #6) James Rush 621QueenAvenueMinneapolis,MN55411 > > 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 original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at > least 250 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All > you need is 250, but remember, the more you post, the more money you > make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. > :)This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 > Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery 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 by 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. 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 cash > in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

What an opportunity for only $60.00 > ($10.00 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 (so that the document > is "highlighted"), 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 (such as in Microsoft Word) 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, > 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.

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!

So then I made $50.00 with my name at #6 on the > letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the > MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons > respond to each of the original 5, that is another $250.00 for me, now > those 25 each make 250 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 > replies each, I will bring in an additional $1250.00! Now, those 125 > persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and > only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $6260.00! OK, > now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 250 > letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that > just made me $31,250.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this > message to 250 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons > per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $150,625,00! With an original > investment of only $60.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the > list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out > another $60.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 > again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you > realize that thousands upon thousands of people all over the world are > joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE > YOU are now!! So, can you afford $60.00 and see if it really works?? I > think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no > one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that > happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest > people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and 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 and this will really work. > NOTE: This program can and will work for you as long as you post the > message in at least 250 newsgroups (e.g. message boards). This might > take a long time, probably several hours. But remember, as far fetched > and ridiculous as it seems, if you follow all the instructions of this > system, you will become rich within an extremely short period of time. > Believe me, IT'S WORTH IT!!! I just urge you to be fair and honest. As > long as each person (including you!) sends $10 to everyone on the > list, everybody (also including you!) will become extremely wealthy > within just a couple of months, and will start receiving money within > the first week or two! > Legal Note: This system is perfectly legal.
