I am not going to claim that you will make any money at all. In fact, the only person who stands a chance of making money off of this deal is me. Here's how it works: You send any amount of money you see fit to the person in the number one position of the list below. That's it. You don't add your name, you don't post to other news groups, you don't get money pouring into your mailbox, or anything else. So, you may ask, what is in it for you? Not much. I'll put up a web page tracking the "Make Eric Rich Project." Anybody who sends a contribution will have their name listed, along with the amount of money they sent in. This is not any sort of business venture, nor is it a joke. I genuinely want your money. I am not begging, and I do not have a sob story. I make enough money to live on, and I have a secure job. I just want to see how many people will take the time to send $1, $5, $10, or more (or less) to make this project a success. Although it may not mean much, you will be able to show your family and friends where you are mentioned on someone else's web page. As a matter of fact, if you send me your URL (or any URL for that matter), I will make your name into a link to that URL. Naturally, I will not link to adult sites, and I will check each site to make sure it exists before I list it. Also, each amount contributed will have its own page. For example, if you send $1, you will be on the $1 page. $5 will put you on the $5 page. Cool huh? Aside from helping your fellow human being (me), you will be furthering the interest of science, as I will keep strict graphs and stuff of how much money comes in each day of the project. Of course, the graphs will also be available on the web page. The other thing that may inspire you to send me money is you will be sending it to someone who is honest enough to tell you that they want your money and will not promise you amazing amounts of money in return. The truth is, those other systems do not work. There is a brief analysis of them on the web page. They are called "pyramid schemes," but it is probably more realistic to call them "pyramid scams." Drop in on the page and check out the info. See who has sent me money. Drop me E-mail if you have any other info on pyramid scams. This thing can be fun for everyone involved.
