> GET $40,000 WITH ONLY 6 BUCKS!!! THIS IS NOT A SCAM!!!
> by Dan Levin
>
> Original post:
>
> A 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 CASH within weeks with only an
> initial investment of
> $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!"
> But
> like most of us I was curious and kept
> reading. It said that if you send $1.00 to each of
> the 6 names and addresses listed in the article, you could make
> thousands
> in a very short period of time. You
> then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6,
> and
> post the article to at least 300
> newsgroups. (There are about 32,000 of them out there and that's
> quite a
> large market pool). No catch, that was
> it. Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions
> that
> needed to be answered before I could
> get involved in this sort of thing.
>
> 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?
> I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little sceptical that I
> would
> actually make any CASH 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 legal business.
>
> 2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them:
> 1-800-725-2161 and they
> confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h sections1302 NS 1341
> of
> Postal Lottery Laws). This
> clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing
> list.
>
> 3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance
> of
> getting A LOT of CASH ... 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 CASH in the mail! I was shocked! I
> figured
> it would end soon and didn't give it
> another thought. But the CASH continued coming in. In my first week I
> made
> between $20 to $30.
> By the end of the second week I had a made a total of $1,000.00. In
> the
> third week I had over $10,000.00 and it
> was still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total
> of
> just over $42,000 and it's still coming
> in .....
> It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps !!!
>
> 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 CASH 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 CASH 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

> 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 CASH 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). 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) J. Thomas
> 36 Easterly Drive
> East Sandwich, MA 02537
>
> #2) Christopher L. Sloan
> 2200 Hickory St.
> H.S.U. Box #14579
> Abilene, TX 79698
>
> #3) Kristen DeJoseph
> 138 Jansen Street
> Staten Island, NY 10312
>
> #4) Baraquin Yannick
> 10 Charlemagne
> L-1328 Luxemburg
> Luxemburg
>
> #5) Fco Javier A.
> 107 ote Matancillas
> Garza Garcia NL
> Mexico 66230
>
> #6) Dan Levin
> P.O. Box 805
> Belle Vernon, PA 15012
>
> 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 300 newsgroups. (I think there are close

> 32,000 groups) All you need is 300, but
> remember, the more you post, the more CASH you make! This is

> PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the

> NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,

> ---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
> letter,
> 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 CASH YOU WILL MAKE!!
> BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 300**
>
> That's it! You will begin receiving CASH 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 300 postings, say I receive only 7 replies (a very low
> example). So
> then I made $7.00 with my name at #6
> on the letter. Now, each of the 7 persons who just sent me $1.00 make
> the
> MINIMUM 300 postings,
> each with my name at #5 and only 7 persons respond to each of the 7
> original 7, that is another $49.00 for me,
> now those 49 each make 300 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only
> 7
> replies each, I will bring in an
> additional $343.00! Now, those 343 persons turn around and post the
> MINIMUM
> 300 with my name at #3 and
> only receive 7 replies each, I will make an additional $2401.00! OK,
> now
> here is the fun part, each of those 2401
> persons post a MINIMUM 300 letters with my name
> at #2 and they each only receive 7 replies, that just made me
> $16,807.00!!!
> Those 16807 persons will all deliver
> this message to 300 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 7
> persons
> per 300 Newsgroups react I will
> receive $117,649.00! With an original investment

> 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

> Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
