: 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 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 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 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) Ryan Skoog
: 6162 9th St N.
: Oakdale, MN 55128
: 2) Ross Rockstad
: P.O. Box 304
: Hobart, WA. 98025
:
: 3) Jonathan Braun
: 2236 spruce st.
: Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6H 2P3
:
: 4) Mark Wofford
: 4765 Hedgehog Street
: Middleburg, FL 32068-6457
:
: 5) Kessler
: 148 Deer Park Lane
: Gaithersburg, MD 20877
6) Kara Christensen
RR 1 Box 40
Hinton, OK 73047
: 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!
: 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 the WHY part:
: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
: example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the
letter. 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 $626.00! 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.
