make $40,000 from 6 bucks, i did it
Original post: A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, 
just 
like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that 
said 
you could make thousands of CASH within weeks with only an 
initial 
investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this 
must be a scam!" But like most of us I was curious and kept 
reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and 
addresses listed in the article, you could make thousands in a 
very 
short period of time. You then place your own name and address 
at 
the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article to at least 300 
newsgroups. (There are about 32,000 of them out there and 
that's 
quite a large market pool). No catch, that was it. Even though 
the 
investment was a measly $6, I had three questions that needed 
to 
be answered before I could get involved in this sort of thing. 1. IS 
THIS REALLY LEGAL? I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a 
little 
sceptical that I would actually make any CASH but he said it 
WAS 
LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it sounded a lot like a chain 
letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it 
a 
legitimate legal business. 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR 
IS 
IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they 
confirmed 
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h sections1302 NS 
1341 
of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the program of collecting 
names and addresses for a mailing list. 3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, 
everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A 
LOT of CASH ... a much better chance than buying a lottery 
ticket!!! 
So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY 
$7.92 
.. six $1.00 bills and six 32 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I 
glad I did!!! Within 7 days, I started getting CASH in the mail! I 
was 
shocked! I figured it would end soon and didn't give it another 
thought. But the CASH continued coming in. In my first week I 
made 
between $20 to $30. By the end of the second week I had a 
made 
a total of $1,000.00. In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and 
it 
was still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a 
total of just over $42,000 and it's still coming in ..... It's certainly 
worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!! 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 CASH 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 CASH 
come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 
(Plus 
postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is 
not illegal; and it is virtually 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 $50,000 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 CASH 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." 
Now 
get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces 
of 
paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to 
prevent 
thievery). 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 
a 
$1.00 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)J. 
Thomas 36 Easterly Drive East Sandwich, MA 02537 
#2)Christopher L. Sloan 2200 Hickory St. H.S.U. Box #14579 
Abilene, TX 79698 #3) Kristen DeJoseph 138 Jansen Street 
Staten 
Island, NY 10312 #4) Fco Javier A. 107 ote Matancillas Garza 
Garcia NL Mexico 66230 #5) Erik Towal 1600 Isaac Creek Circle 
New Braunfels, Texas, 78132 #6) Greg Eisenbeis P.O. Box 
33030 
Colorado Springs, CO 80933 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 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) 
All 
you need is 300, but remember, the more you post, the more 
CASH 
you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to 
18 
Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of 
these 
steps for yourself and, whenever you need CASH, 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 a person of integrity, the program will continue and the 
CASH 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 $1 bill in dark paper to reduce 
the 
risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the 
directions 
carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their 
participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name 
will move up the list geometrically so that when your name 
reaches 
the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of CASH in 
CASH!!! 
What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 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 letter, 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 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. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone 
sees 
as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, 
click 
the post message button. 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 CASH YOU WILL 
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 300** 
That's it! 
You will begin receiving CASH from around the world within days! 
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large 
amount 
of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can 
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. 
**JUST 
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now 
the 
WHY part: Out of 300 postings, say I receive only 7 replies (a 
very 
low example). So then I made $7.00 with my name at #6 on the 
letter. Now, each of the 7 persons who just sent me $1.00 make 
the 
MINIMUM 300 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 7 
persons respond to each of the 7 original 7, that is another 
$49.00 
for me, now those 49 each make 300 MINIMUM posts with my 
name at #4 and only 7 replies each, I will bring in an additional 
$343.00! Now, those 343 persons turn around and post the 
MINIMUM 300 with my name at #3 and only receive 7 replies 
each, 
I will make an additional $2401.00! OK, now here is the fun part, 
each of those 2401 persons post a MINIMUM 300 letters with my 
name at #2 and they each only receive 7 replies, that just made 
me 
$16,807.00!!! Those 16807 persons will all deliver this message 
to 
300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 7 persons per 300 
Newsgroups react I will receive $117,649.00! With an original 
investment of only $6.00! And some stamps. AMAZING! When 
your 
name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in 
the 
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 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 of people all 
over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles 
everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 
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 CASH? 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. By the way, if you try to 
deceive people by posting the messages with your name in the 
list 
and not sending the CASH to the rest of the people already on 
the 
list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew 
someone 
who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after 
seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 $1.00 bills, people 
added 
him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the 
fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth 
of 
the world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may 
want 
to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future CASH. Make sure you 
print 
this article out RIGHT NOW! Also, try to keep a list of everyone 
that 
sends you CASH and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to 
make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS 
THE 
BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make 
the 
CASH!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the 
huge 
rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. Please remember 
to 
declare your extra income. Thanks once again... "People have 
asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are using the 
Internet 
to advertise your business. What is that business? You are 
creating 
a mailing list of people who are interested in home based 
computer 
and online business and methods of generating income at home. 
Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your 
mailing 
list. It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands of 
names? 
That's up to you." So, build your mailing list, keep good 
accounts, 
declare the income and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove 
your 
business intentions. Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when 
the 
cash has stopped coming (that means your name is no longer on 
the 
list), you just take the latest posting at the newsgroups, send 
another $6.00 to the names stated on the list, make your 
corrections 
(put your name at #6) and start posting again. NOTES: *1. In 
some 
countries, the export of the country's exchange is illegal. But you 
can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the 
above statements (that you have an online business, etc. You 
may 
have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the 
incoming 
CASH is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that 
restriction . 
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future CASH. 
(Or 
Database or Spreadsheet software.) *3. If you're really not sure or 
still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this article 
and 
give it to someone who really needs the CASH, and see what 
happens. *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it 
depends. ***ALSO REMEMBER*** SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO 
EVERYONE ON THE LIST, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT FROM 
THE 
U.S. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
