Please read through the attached comments and excerpts. They are quite thorough on how this will work for you. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO LOSE ON THIS DEAL!!!! NEW VERSION ! 1997 (Legal Questions Addressed!)
"In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an internet newsgroup telling me that I could make $50,000 within a month for an investment of only $5. I thought, "OH YEAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!"
It sounded like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and scams I've seen over the past 40 years or so. I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about it, and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. I can't stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the idea at first, it kind of played on my mind and I thought, "what if it really worked?" I realized all I had to lose was $5.00, I usually blow that much on the lottery every week anyway, so I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a shot.
Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail! Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll in. Within 4 weeks, I had received a total of $46,812.00! It came from everywhere in the world." Lately, I've doubled my efforts and the money is rolling in even faster. I would tell you how much but then the IRS would know also, let's just say it's a VERY comfortable living. Now, I am really going to work! If I can make as much as I have, and still am, on a lousy $5.00 investment, why not double it and make the "Big Bucks" twice as fast? Anybody can afford to gamble $5.00 on a chance to make $100,000.00 or more in a month, especially when the business has already proven itself." If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason why the same shouldn't happen to you!
This is a legitimate investment opportunity. You invest $5, and you receive a return on your investment. So does the next investor. THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. (See additional legal details below.) THE PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:
- Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five separate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST: $1 USD PROCESSING FEE IS ENCLOSED." (In this way, you're not just sending ONE dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service.) Fold $1 U.S.treasury bill inside each piece of paper, and mail them by standard U. S.(or other) Mail to the following five addresses:
#1 H.Snider
5555 Sandusky Rd. Lima, Ohio 45801
#2 J. Randsome
1050 N. Mills Ave. Box #411 Claremont, CA
91711
#3 M. Gauth
910 Therese-Casgrain #29 Chicoutimi, QC, CANADA
G7H 6K8
#4 C. Betancourt
74 John St. Carteret, NJ
07008
#5 T. Done. Lun.
5080 Oliver Dr. Richmond, BC, Canada
V6V 2S8
2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other four names up. In
other words, #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name as the fifth one on the
list. You can do this by simply retyping the article or reposting it to other
newsgroups with the edited
addresses.
3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 22,000, so it shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember, there are no "Free Lunches" in this world so the harder you work the more money you will make. You are now in the mail order investment business, and should start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course, the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return will be. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a pseudonym, but make sure your address is correct.
LEGAL ? ? ? People have asked me if this is really legal. 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 businesses and methods of generating income at home. Remember - people send you a small fee to be added to your list. It is legal. What will you do with your list of thousands of names? That's up to you. "
MORE LEGALESE: This opportunity has been incorrectly described as a 'pyramid scheme' by doubters and those unwilling to risk $5 for the chance at a huge payoff. This is not a pyramid, and not even as close to one as many 'legitimized' multi-level marketing systems (Amway, NSA, etc. etc.) The difference here is that the names above you do not remain on the list forever -- in five rounds they are removed. There is no residual income that continues forever with no further effort on your part. You can always add your name to the bottom of the next list you see, but you start from the bottom again. Build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income, and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions, and can also take advantage of business write-offs on your tax return. You need your computer, an internet account, and a spreadsheet, database or mailing list software to conduct your business. You will also need to drive to the bank, the post office, the office supply store -- all of these costs can be used to offset your income taxes. There really is no risk -- eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered the $5. The biggest risk is not to try. "
NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM WORKS " The internet is growing at a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every 4 months. Think about it. You see those "Make Money Fast" posts more and more. All that growth means profits for everyone who participates. There are no losers. Of every 200 posts I made, I received 5 responses. That probably doesn't seem like much. You make $5 for every 200 posts with your name at #5. Each person who sent you $1 now also makes 200 additional postings with your name at #4. i.e.. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at #4. $50.00. Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return 500 people = $500.00. They make 200 postings each with your name at #2 = 100,000 postings = 5000 return at $1 each = $5,000. Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings with your name at #1 and you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES ONLY 200 POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle = $50,000.
From time to time, when you see your name no longer on the list, you take the latest posting that appears in the newsgroups, and send out another $5, and put your name at #5, and start posting again. Remember, 200 postings is only a guideline. The more you post, the greater the return. Lets review why you should do this.
THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND 5 STAMPS, AND 5 ENVELOPES. Anyone can afford $5 for
such an effortless investment with such SPECTACULAR RETURNS. Some people have
said to me,
"what happens if the scheme is played out and no one sends me any money?" Big
Deal, so you lose $5.00 but what are the chances of that happening? SINCE THIS
IS A BRAND NEW PROGRAM AS OF AUGUST 1, 1997, YOU'RE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR!
There are millions of internet users, and millions of new net surfers every
month.
Remember- read the instructions carefully, and play fairly. THAT'S the only way this will work. Get a printout so you can refer back to this article easily. Keep a list of everyone that sends you money, keep good books, pay your taxes, and always keep an eye on the postings to make sure everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see what happens.
REMEMBER-HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. WHAT ARE 5 DOLLARS TO YOU? YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THIS IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!! (We will monitor the program and if we find you have cheated by not sending your money to your five recipients, we will just dump you out of the system). This is the easiest way that you can make a buck. Think how excited you'll be to open up your mailbox day after day! Will it be $50? or $5,000? Start making your plans, because it can happen to you. DON'T PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!! "
- HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER:
necessary changes that are outlined above, simply COPY and PASTE the text into the message section of the message composition window, select a Newsgroup and post it!
- If you have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:
- Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page. This will bring up a box to type a message in.
- Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to some- thing flashy, like, "NEED CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!
- Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once) THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except insert your name at #5, and remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think you need to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!
- When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS BOX, RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.
5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup now by just clicking send (right below FILE, and right above Cc:).
6) Here's where you're going to post all 200. OK, click on any news group then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner. Leave the NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT BOX, hit TAB once and you're in the body of the message. Click on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another box to come up. Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you saved; click on the file, and then click 'OPEN' now click on OK; if you did this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, and it will be shaded green. Note: If you don't want to type in the whole article and you know how to use a plain text editor (Notepad), you can edit the file ahead of time, then attach it.
7) QUICK TIP! You can post this message to many newsgroups at a time by simply
selecting a newsgroup near the top of the screen, hold down the SHIFT key, and
then select a newsgroup near the bottom of the screen. All of the newsgroup
in-between will also
be selected. IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER... IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE
LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, highlight this article. then press the "crtl" key and the
"c" key at the same time to copy this article. Then print this article for
your records, to have the names of those you will be sending $1 bills to.
8) Go to the news groups and press "post an article". A window will open. Type in your headline in the subject area and then click in the large window below. Press "crtl" and then "v" and the article will be placed in the window. If you want to edit the article, do so and then highlight and copy it again. Now every time you post the article in a new newsgroup all you have to repeat is "ctrl" and "v" and press post.
9) That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups, or more. You see? Now you just have 199 to go!!
(Don't worry, each one takes about 30 seconds, once you get used to it.) REMEMBER 200 IS THE MINIMUM. REMEMBER: IF WE ALL PLAY FAIR THIS CAN BE FANTASTIC FOR EVERYONE OH YA, DONT FORGET TO SEND YOUR $5.00 TO THE PEOPLE AHEAD OF YOU!!!!! Received on Thu Oct 30 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
