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? 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! 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. 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 by
this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following
addresses:
#1) Elmer Howard
P.O. Box 462
Auburn, ME 04212
#2) Anthony Popante
1624 West 4th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11223
#3) MRK
P.O. Box 9297
Downers Grove, IL 60516
#4) Tiffany Mai
P.O. Box 474
Jonesborough Tn. 37659
#5) Tiffany Williams
114 Archer Rd.
Jonesborough Tn.37659
#6) M. Becket
115 W 99th St. apt# 106
Kansas City, MO. 64114
N3H 4X6
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! ---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 drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select
'copy' from the edit menu. 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' 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 sittings, 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
newsgroupes 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
reciving money from around the world within days! You may eventually
wany 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 a 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.
Think about this! If you gamble your money away in a casino or a race
track, or maybe just the lottery...WHY? Because we all want more $$$!
RIGHT? So we risk our money! Playing it against the odds! NEED
MONEY? Well if you have any logic and 6$ You will! You think this is a
gamble? maybe! But its not odds your up against; INSTEAD YOUR OWN
INTEGRITY! You NEED MONEY? Play FAIRLY and HONESTLY, WITH
FULL INTEGRITY! And you will be making some SERIOUS CASH!!!
$GO FOR IT$
