money

Hello,

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 thousands of

dollars within

weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! 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

$1.00 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 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 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. 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 $25.00.

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 it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I

have made a

total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's

certainly worth $6.00, 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 $6.00 (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 $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 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." 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). 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 a $1.00 bill. What you are doing

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) A.Shamach 1081 Rocky Harbour Crescent, k1v 1v4, Ottawa

ON #2) K.Hurls, 3908 Ardmore St, Silver

Springs, NV 89429 #3) R.Fowler, 60 Hemlock Haven, Hampton, NH 03842

#4) D. Fryar, 30219 Turriff Circle,

Magnolia, Tx 77354 #5) K.Wicker, P.O. Box 51, Auxier, Ky 41602 #6) B. kyle,

1069 Rocky Harbour Crescent, k1v 1v3, Ottawa ON

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 200

newsgroups. (I think

there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, 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 $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 dollars 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 document,

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 MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST

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 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, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM

200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons 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 #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!

Now, those 125

persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only

receive 5

replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun

part, each of

those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each

only

receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will

all deliver this

message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200

newsgroups

react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00!

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 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!!!

Ahh, the old pyramid post office scheme. I love it when the old

classics refuse to die. He ought to graduate to the Nigeria 419 scam.

There's more money in it (grin)

Ahhh... the classic "Make Money Fast" scam. Hey, the Nigerian 419 scams

have been going for awhile and don't stop, and this one predates the

Nigerian scams by years.

you know what this means? We will NEVER get rid of the Nigerian scams.

My Grandmother told me that what were termed 'chain letters' were common

when she was a girl. So as soon as postal rates became cheap enough for the

majority, they started. So, far from predating the Nigerian scams by years,

they were around 80 years ago.
