This is just a message to reveal what I beleive to be an internet scam that
has caught many net newbies unaware (including me) and to apologize to 
the users of news groups where I may have posted.
It is usually under the subject heading MAKE.MONEY.FAST.  The message says
it is a legal mail list.  I don't know if it is legal or not but it is in 
severe bad taste.  It is also a misuse of a government sponsored internet
account.
So if any of you see a message of the above description, please let the 
issuer of it know what is going on.  They are probably relatively new to the
internet news groups or they would have some clue about what the message is.
If any of you have already added your name to this thing, the best thing to
do would be to let others know that it is in poor taste and to apologize to 
the places that it was posted.
To everybody else, my advise is DONT BE DUPED!
