(Since I haven't seen the original or Navydiver's followup in any other
group I subscribe to, I'm going to attempt a simple clarification here;
I hope other readers won't mind ...)

Absolutely nothing.  It's simply another form of the "same-old,
same-old" pyramid scam.  I would simply ignore any such messages.

Some news servers use software that applies various heuristics to try
and detect and reduce the number of such messages appearing in
newsgroups, and for the most part, this approach seems to work well.  If
the news server you're using doesn't use any such software, it might be
worth suggesting to your news admin(s) that it be considered.

I hope that helps ...
