IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,
PLEASE READ THIS THREE TIMES!!!
A while back, I was browsing these message boards, just like you are now, and
came across this article. It 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 this 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 or message boards.
(There are about 32,000 of them out there and that's quite a large market pool).
No catch, that was it. The person that wrote this article said they were skeptical
even though the investment was the measly $6, they had three questions that
needed to be answered before they could get involved in this sort of thing. I feel
the same way. Read what the person I got this article from had to say and
decide for yourself if $6 is worth the risk or not.
1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?
I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical 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 IT 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 Title 18, Sec.1302 & 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, the person who sent me this article said,
"I invested only six $1.00 bills and six postage stamps ...
Well, guess what!!! 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 $25.
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, 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)Brian J. Patrick
2881 Country Drive
Sun Prairie WI 53590
#2)John Ganon
107 High Tide Dr.
Wilmington NC 28411
#3)Nick Landowski
1635 Keli Jean Ct.
Hubertus, WI 53033
#4)H. K. Ahn
Skrytka Pocztowa 65
02-696 Warsaw 113
Poland
#5)L. Sotolongo
15476 NW 77 CT # 241
Miami Lakes, FL 33016
#6)Elizabeth Cruz
20 Tobyhanna St.
Providence, RI 02910
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 Title 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.
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!
"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.
***ALSO REMEMBER***
SEND YOUR $1 OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST,
EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT FROM THE U.S.
THANKS. GOOD LUCK!!!
