A little while back, I was browsing these 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 addresses 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? Though the investment was a measly
$6, I had questions that needed to be answered before I could get
involved in this sort of thing.
1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL??
I called my lawyer first and he was a little skeptical that I
would actually make any money 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 business.
2. Would the Post Office be ok with this.....I called them:
1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
(See Title 18.h sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This
clarifies the program of collecting names and address for a mailing
list.
3. Is this moral? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good
chance of getting A LOT of money...a much better chance than buying a
lottery ticket!!!!!
So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92...six
$1.00 bills and six 32 cent postage stamps...and boy am I glad I did!!!!
Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
still 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 about $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 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 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.
The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST"
"A $1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED."
(THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL. SINCE
YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND LATER OFFERING A SERVICE).
Now get 6 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) 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 by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!


Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1S.T.B.
32 Pelczar Ave.
Essex, MD 21221
USA
#2 K.R.S.
920-158 Feltl Court
Minneapolis, MN 55343
USA
#3 B N Ellicott
P.O. Box 181156
Fairfield, OH 45018-1156
USA
#4 R.S. Sandik
P.O. Box 572
Canandaigua N.Y. 14424
USA
#5 D.L.
PO BOX 13294
EL CAJON, CA 92022
USA
#6 l.r naughton
PO BOX
Australia, brisbane
4127
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 is close to 24,000 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:
-----------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS - 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 click and hold down your mouse button. While
continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the
bottom of this document and over to just after the last
character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire
letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down
menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy
the entire letter into the computers memory.
Step 2.?Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the
top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select
'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the
#1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone else's
positions), and add yourself in as #6.
Step 3.?Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want
to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
this file to go back to.
----------------------------------------
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
----------------------------------------
Step 4.?Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window
entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down
menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments
a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click
on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on
the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of
the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box.
Step 5.?Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular group.
Step 6.?Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy
them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup
'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the
body of your posting.
Step 7.?Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're
done with your first one! Congratulations...
--------------------------------------------------
INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
--------------------------------------------------
Step 4.?Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'.
Step 5.?Fill in the subject.
Step 6.?Same as #6 above
Step 7.?Hit the 'Post' button.
-------------------------------------------
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
day's! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount
of mail you 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 a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I
said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So
lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you
will make:
at #6 $15.00
at #5 $225.00
at #4 $3,375.00
at #3 $50,625.00
at #2 $759,375.00
at #1 $11,390,625.00
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 work.
You just have to be honest.
Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list
of everyone that sends you money 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
money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH.
**BY THE WAY, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with
your name in the list and not sending the money 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. This is the
fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the
world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy
mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
ADDED NOTES:
LEGAL? ? ? People have asked if this is really legal, Well, 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 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.
===============================================================
ADDITIONAL ADDED NOTES:
*1. In some 4 countries, the export of the country's exchange is
illegal.
But you can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining
the above statements (that you have an online business,etc. You may
have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming
money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction.
*2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mailing list for the future
dollars (or Database or Spreadsheet software).
*3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real
please
print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who really
needs
the money, and see what happens.
*4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.
