Skeptic makes $1800 on $5 - Read this!!

Hello everyone,

I used to think this was a huge joke until I tried it - the "turn $5 into

$50,000" idea. It used to bug me so much that I turned on my killfile for

these posts. But after awhile I started to realize "This either works or

it's a scam - but I intend to find out." =20

Guess what? In only three weeks, I've received $1827!! I don't know

anyone who couldn't use a extra $1800 do you? And there is certainly lots

more to come for me - up to $55,000!!!

What about you? You can do it with only $5 and 5 postage stamps (that's

only $6.60 in the USA - hardly what I call a risky investment when you

consider the rewards).

Everyone who tries this will make much, much more than that, so what have

you got to loose? $5.00 plus postage? Big Deal!

Hopefully you can see that this really does work and you'll read on.

Follow this simple, perfectly legal 3 step procedure and you can't go

wrong;

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D

First - Type or write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper

with the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 bill or

money order in each of the pieces of paper, place them in 5 envelopes and

mail one to each of the following five addresses:

1- Ken Rose

5815 Parfet St.

Arvada, CO. 80004

2- Robert Knowlton

PO Box 924

Concord, NH 03302-0924

3- JCL

1313 Wake Forest Dr. #125

Davis, CA 95616

4- RFP

9594 1st Ave, NE, #423

Seattle, WA 98115

5- F. Maertens

6050 Rue Hutchison
=20
Outremont (Qu=E9bec)

H2V 4C2

Canada

Second - Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up (5

becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc.) and put your name and address as number 5 on

the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply editing it

in a word processor.

Third - Post your amended article to at least 200 Usenet news groups

(there are over 20,000 of them).

That's it! You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will

start receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more

newsgroups you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may even want

to rent a P O Box to handle the volume of mail you're likely to receive.

If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym such as "The

Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your snail mail address is

correct!

How does this work?

Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies for Five

dollars. Ok that may not seem like much but read on....=20

Each person who sent you $1 also makes let's say, only 200 additional

postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings.

On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at=20

number 4. You make $50.

Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3 or

10,000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They make 200

postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 =3D 100 000 postings =3D 5 000

returns at $1 each =3D $5 000.

Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1

and you get a return of $50,000 before you name drops off the list. AND

THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total income in

one cycle =3D $55,500.

And when you drop off the list - simply start over!

Remember, this only costs Five dollars, 5 postage stamps and some online

time. So what are you waiting for?

You may be thinking "This has been around a while - What happens if the

scheme is 'played out" and no one sends me any money"?=20

Big deal! So you lose $5 - but what are the chances of that happening?=20

Pretty nil with hundreds of thousands of new people joining the internet

every day.

Remember, follow the instructions and play fair - send those 5 one-dollar

bills (this process is based on honesty not on cheating on the initial

investment). Perhaps we'll meet on the beach in Hawaii. That is what my

$1827 is going towards (I'll have to think about what to do with the rest

of the $$$$ that is coming my way!)

I can't believe how badly I just parsed that sentence. My head filled
with visions of someone irresponsible enough to let their vampire use a
newsreader... This flu is affecting me more than I thought.
