: This certainly is NOT legal. Also people who setup these illegal chain letters donƒGt like it
: if you are sending spam emails and spamming bulletin boards to try and get more people in your chain.
: Also giving address information of people on the internet without the approval of these people is a violation of the
: privacy laws. You can be sued by the different people for this!!
: That makes you illegal.
: furthermore the only people who really benefit are the ones in the top of the chain.
: The ones who started this.
: I dispise people who are trying to CON other people in these sort of pyramid schemes.
: Pyramid schemes are forbidden in many countries and I advise
: everyone NOT to participate in these.
:
: : HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, and came across an article 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?" 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. I
: : promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money 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 money 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 99% no risk - it really
: : works!
: : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will 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 money 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). 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. 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)
: : Paul Meyer 3135 Penny Lane Murfreesboro, TN 37130
: : #2)
: : Ken Reigenborn 516 N. Oak Gordon, NE 69343
: : #3)
: : Caleb B. 232 Disney Dr. London, KY 40744
: : #4)
: : Kassa Murray 2654 Laurel View Dr. Snellville, GA 30039
: : #5)
: : S. Nina Kirzhner 630 Fairview Rd. Apt. 190, SC 29680
: : #6)Jameson Sears 16702 St. Johns Wood Dr. Tomball, TX 77375
: : 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! You won't get very
: : much unless you post like crazy. : )
: : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery
: : laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and
: : again.
: : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
: : participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity,
: : the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
: : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either
: : on a
: : computer or hard copy
: : and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it
: : might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
: : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed
: : for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
: : geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars
: : in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above)
: : Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ---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 document, 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 MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
: : P.S. I haven't made as much money as it says here, this is the advertisement I used (since it says in the directions to copy and paste), and it really works! If you're still confused as to how it works, when people see your address, they'll send you a dollar in he mail, so the more people that see, the more money you make!
: PPS: you never will make these amounts of money since you are low in the pyramid.
: You have been conned! DonƒGt try to con other people in your turn. Only the starters of the pyramid will
: make such amounts.
: For the poster, I suggest forwarding this SPAM email to the network provider of the person
: you got it from. This kind of spam MUST be stopped!
