I hesitated about trying this and ended up in financial collapse. Now
that I have tried it, I receive envelopes by mail with dollar bills in
them. How is this possible? Take a minute and read this. This is not a
get rich quick scheme; it is your own home business developing mailing
lists. It is legal. Like most people I am skeptical of things of this
nature. But, after much thought, I have tried it out. Honestly, it takes
a lot of work on your part to make it work. In the end you will be
satisfied.
Please read through the attached comments and excerpts. They are quite
thorough on how this will work for you. There is absolutely nothing to
lose on this deal!!!!
(Excerpt From Bob Novak Who Started This New Version)
NEW VERSION ! 1997 (Legal Questions Addressed!)
"In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an internet newsgroup
telling me that I could make $50,000 within a month for an investment of
only $5. I thought, "OH YEAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!"
It sounded like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and scams
I've seen over the past 40 years or so. I spoke to my attorney, a few
friends, and family about it, and they all agreed it was some kind of
scam. I can't stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I
didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the idea at first, it kind of
played on my mind and I thought, "what if it really worked?" I realized
all I had to lose was $5.00, I usually blow that much on the lottery
every week anyway, so I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a
shot.
Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail! Soon, hundreds,
and then thousands of dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had
received a total of $46,812.00! It came from everywhere in the world."
Lately, I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even
faster. I would tell you how much but then the IRS would know also,
let's just say it's a VERY comfortable living. Now, I am really going
to
work! If I can make as much as I have, and still am, on a lousy $5.00
investment, why not double it and make the "Big Bucks" twice as fast?
Anybody can afford to gamble $5.00 on a chance to make $100,000.00 or
more in a month, especially when the business has already proven
itself."
If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the same
shouldn't happen to you! This is a legitimate investment opportunity.
You invest $5, and you receive a return on your investment. So does the
next investor.
THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS PERFECTLY
LEGITIMATE.
(See additional legal details below.)
THE PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:
1) Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five
separate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR
MAILING LIST: $1 USD PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED." (In this way, you're
not just sending ONE dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate
service.) Fold $1 U.S. Treasury bill, money order, or bank note inside
each piece of paper, and mail them by standard U.S.(or other) Mail to
the following five addresses:
1. William Higgins
3204 Ivy Chase Way
Atlanta, GA 30342
2. Bob Stevens
660 East 8680 South
Sandy, UT 84070
3. Joseph Baker
6836 Gafford Drive
Columbus, OH 43229
4. Conny Borgström
Västra Hindbyvägen 3b
214 58 Malmö
Sweden
5. Jay Melton
5125 Gatebridge Road
Richmond, Virginia 23234
2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names
up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name as the fifth
one on the list. You can do this by simply retyping the article or
reposting it to other newsgroups with the edited addresses.
3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 22,000, so it
shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember, there are no "Free
Lunches" in this world so the harder you work the more money you will
make. You are now in the mail order investment business, and should
start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more
newsgroups you post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to
remain anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, but make sure your address is
correct.
LEGAL ? ? ?
People have asked me if this is really legal. It is! You are using the
Internet to advertise your business. What is that business? You are
assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based
computer and online businesses and methods of generating income at
home. Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your list.
It is legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names?
That's up to you. "
MORE LEGALESE:
This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid scheme' by
doubters and those unwilling to risk $5 for the chance at a huge
payoff. This is not a pyramid, and not even as close to one as many
'legitimized' multi-level marketing systems
(Amway, NSA, etc. etc.)
The difference here is that the names above you do not remain on the
list forever -- in five rounds they are removed. There is no residual
income that continues forever with no further effort on your part. You
can always add your name to the bottom of the next list you see, but you
start from the bottom again.
Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income, and pay
your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions, and can
also take advantage of business write-offs on your tax return. You need
your computer, an internet account, and a spreadsheet, database or
mailing list software to conduct your business. You will also need to
drive to the bank, the post office, the office supply store -- all
of these costs can be used to offset your income taxes. There really is
no risk -- eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered the $5.
The biggest risk is not to try.
There's my pitch; Now back to BOB NOVAK:
" NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS "
The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every
4 months. Think about it. You see whose "Make Money Fast" posts more
and more. All that growth means profits for everyone who participates.
There are no losers. Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses.
That probably
doesn't seem like much. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name
at #5. Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional
postings with your name at #4. i.e.. 1000 postings. On average
therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4. $50.00.
Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000
postings. Average return 500 people = $500.00. They make 200 postings
each with your name at #2 = 100,000 postings = 5000 return at $1 each =
$5,000. Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1
and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. AND
THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS!
Total income in one cycle = $50,000.
From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you
take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out
another $5, and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember,
200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the
return. Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5
STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5 for such an effortless
investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS.
Some people have said to me, "what happens if the scheme is played out
and no one sends me any money?" Big Deal, so you lose $5.00 but what are
the chances of that happening?
SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM AS OF JANUARY 1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON
THE GROUND FLOOR!
There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers
every month.
Remember- read the instructions carefully, and play fairly. THAT'S the
only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back to this
article easily. Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good
books, pay your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make
sure everyone is playing
fairly. You know where your name should be. If you're really not sure
or still think this can't be for
real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along
to someone you know who really
needs the bucks, and see what happens.
REMEMBER-HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT ARE 5 DOLLARS TO YOU? YOU
DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!!
(We will monitor the program and if we find you have cheated by not
sending your money to your five recipients, we will just dump you out of
the system).
This is the easiest way that you can make a buck. Think how excited
you'll be to open up your
mailbox day after day! Will it be $50? or $5,000? Start making your
plans, because it can happen to you.
DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!! "

remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think you need
to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!
4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS

RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.
Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE. Save your article as a text
file to your C: or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
DO THIS. Once saved, move on to number 5 below.
NOTE: If you don't want to type in the whole article by hand, AND you

about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.)
