Earn Money with the Net!!!


A few weeks ago I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are

doing now, and I came across an article similar to this that said you 

could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial 

investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", 

like most of us, but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading. 

Anyway, it said that you could send $1.00 to each of the five names and 

addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and 

address on the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at 
least 200 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 five stamps 
and $5.00, right?


Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little curious 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 was indeed perfectly legal.


Then I invested the $5.00��


Well GUESS WHAT!!��within 7 days I started getting money in the 

mail. I was shocked. I mean, I expected it to work - but I didn�t expect 
it to REALLY work! I figured it would end soon, and didn�t give it 

another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first week I 

made a total of $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week 

I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!! In the third week I had over 

$10,000.00 and its still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have 

made a total of  just over $42,000.00 and its still coming in�.. Its 

certainly been worth my $5 bucks and 5 stamps. I�ve spent more than 

that on lottery tickets!


Let me tell you how this works and more importantly, why it works�

also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the 

information off it as you need it. (Better yet, copy it into your word 

processor, it will save time later!) The process is very simple and 

consists of 3 easy steps:


STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each 	

piece of paper "Please put me on you 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/bill 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 by this is creating a service  

that satisfies the postal regulations.


Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:


# 1	Loren Tangeman
	P.O.Box 643
	Strasburg, CO  80136

#2	Bill Melson
	P.O.Box 2109
	Oxford, MS 38655

#3	Wes Robinson
	10 Mountain Maple Drive
	Timberlea, NS, Canada, B3T 1G7

#4	Rick Wheatley
	2958 Johns Dr.
	Saginaw, MI 48603

#5	Tom Bridges
	4140 Ashleytown Ln.
	Charlotte, NC 28270



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 the original as possible. Now, post your amended 	

article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 	

18,000 different 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, just like normal. Then click on "To News"

(or "Post News" depending on your version of Netscape), which is in 

the top left corner of the newsgroup tool bar. This will bring up a 

message box.


2. Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used, 
something to catch people�s eye!


3. Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly 
as it is here, with the exception of your few changes. (remember to add 

your name to number 5 and move the rest up)


4. When you�re done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on "FILE" 

above the send button. Then, click on "SAVE AS". Do not send your 

article until you save it! (Or you�ll have to type this article 200 
times!)(To avoid having to re-type this article at all, copy it from the 

newsgroup in which you found it and paste it into your word processing 

program. Then copy and paste it into the newsgroup message window 

whenever you need it!)


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 area and place your 

cursor there. Now click on "ATTACHMENT" which is right below the 

"SUBJECT" box. Click on "ATTACH FILE" then find your article 

wherever you saved it. Click once on your file then click "OPEN" then 

click "OK". If you did this right, you should see your file name in the 

"ATTACHMENT" box and it will be shaded. (or you can paste the 

article in the message area from your word processor if you prefer)  

NOW POST AWAY!! 


IF YOU�RE USING INTERNET EXPLORER:

Its just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this 
entire article, then press the "CTRL" key and "C" keys at the same time 
to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have 
the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to. 


IF YOU�RE USING NEXT

Go to the newsgroups and press "POST AN ARTICLE", type in your 

flashy subject and click the large window below. Press "CTRL" and 

"V" and the article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE 

TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES**

Now re-highlight the article and recopy it so you have the 

changes�then all you have to do for each newsgroup is "CTRL" and 

"V" and press "POST". Its that easy!


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 TO A MINIMUM OF 200**


THAT�S IT! You will begin receiving money 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 remain anonymous, 

just invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. 

** JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT**


Now for the "WHY" part. Out of 200 postings, let�s say I receive only 5 

replies (a very low example). So then I made my $5.00 back with my 

name in the #5 position on the list. Now, each of the 5 persons who just 

sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name in 

the #4 position and only 5 people 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 #3 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an 
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and do their 
postings with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make 
an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 

people post their MINIMUM of 200 letters with my name at #1 and they 

each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With an 

original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said, 5 

responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probably closer to 20 or 

30. So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is 

what you will make:

at #5 $15.00

at #4 $225.00

at #3 $3,375.00

at #2 $50,625.00

at #1 $759,375.00


When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest 
posting from the newsgroups, send out another $5.00 to the names on the 
list, putting your name in the #5 position again, and start posting 
again! The thing to remember is, do you realize how many thousands of 
people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these 
articles every day, JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW! So can you afford the $5.00 
to see if it really works?? I think so�


People say, "What if the plan doesn�t work and no one sends you any 

money? So what!  What are the chances of that happening when there are 

tons of new  people who are joining the Internet and surfing the 

newsgroups every single day and are willing to give this a try for a 

measly $5.00? Estimates are now that 20,000 to 50,000 new users are 

joining EVERY DAY!


Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work for all of 

us. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW. Try to keep a list 

of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the 

newsgroups for new developments.


GOOD LUCK to all!
