Date: 1997/09/27 Message-ID: <342c73dd.11432043@news.rmci.net> X-Deja-AN: 278474387 Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST??? Here's what one man says: A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you couldmake thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!", like most of us, but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading. Anyway, is said that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups.(There are about 22,000.) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about it and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. After rejecting the idea at first, it kind of played on my mind and I thought, "What if it really worked??". I figured what have I got to lose except 5 stamps and $5.00, right? And I decided to give it a shot. Then I invested the measly $5.00........ Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money just continued coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had a mad 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 $42,000.00 and it's still coming in..... It certainly worth $5.00 and 5 stamps, I spent a lot 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 when you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps: STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST. $1US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED." (This makes it legal since you are paying for a service). Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent theft/robbery. Then, place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a $1.00 bill. DO THIS STEP FIRST, AS THESE MESSAGES ARE BEING MONITORED. Mail the 5 envelopes by standard mail to the following addresses: 1. Kevin Edwards Box 1874 Post Office Coffs Harbour N.S.W. 2450 Australia 2. CA P.O. Box 550885 Jacksonville, FL, 32255 USA 3.RN Rua Sergipe, 275 Niter�i - Canoas, CEP 92130-270 Brazil 4.KK Blk 512, Jelapang Road #07-34 Singapore 670512 Singapore 5. IDP 4921 Targee Boise, ID 83705 STEP 2: Now take the 1st name off the above list, move the other names up(so #5 becomes #4, #4 becomes #3, and so on..) and add YOUR name and address as #5 on the list.(If you want to remain anonymous, put a nickname, but the address MUST be correct. It, of course, MUST contain your country, state/district/area, zip code, etc, because there are some people who don't put their COUNTRY!!! You wouldn't want your money to fly away, wouldn't you?!?!). STEP 3: Now post your amended article to AT LEAST 200 NEWSGROUPS. Remember, 200 POSTINGS IS A MINIMUM. THE MORE YOU POST, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE!!!!! SO TRY TO POST TO AS MANY GROUPS AS POSSIBLE. Try to post to groups that get a lot of traffic as more people will view your message. Don't know how to post? Don't worry, I'm explaining that in an extra section at the end of the letter. Now the Why part: Out of 200 postings, let's say I receive only 5 replies(a very low example). So then I make $5.00, with my name at #5 on the list. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00, makes the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5. So that's another $25.00 for me. Now, each one of those 25 makes the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3, and each one gets only 5 replies. Now I make an additional $125.00! Now these 125 persons, turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each. Now I have an additional $625.00!! OK, now here's the fun part, each of these 625 persons will post the MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #1 and they receive only 5 replies each. So, that just made me an additional $3,125.00!!! With an initial investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses each is actually VERY LOW! The average is probable 20 to 30! So let's put those figures at just 15 responses per person. here is what you will make: at #5 $5.00 at #4 $225.00 (15 times $5.00) at #3 $3,375.00 (15 times $225.00) at #2 $50,625.00 (15 times $3,375.00) at #1 $759,375.00 (15 times $50,625.00) + --------------------------------------- $813,605.00 LEGAL ? ? ? (Comments from Bob Novak who started this new version.) "People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are using the Internet to advertise you business. What is that business? You are assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in home based computer and online business and methods of generating income at home. Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to your mailing list. It is legal. what will you do with your list of thousands of names? That's up to you." So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts, declare the income and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions. Keep an eye on the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming(that means your name is no longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the newsgroups, send another $5.00 to the names stated on the list, make your corrections(put your name at #5) and start posting again. Some people have asked me "What happens if the scheme is played out and noone sends money anymore?". Big deal, so you lose $5.00, BUT... do you know the chances of that happening??? Since this is a brand new program as of January 1st, 1997, you are on the ground floor! There are millions of Internet users, and millions of new net surfers every month! The Internet is growing in a tremendous rate - it doubles in size every 4 months!!! Think about it. All that growth means profits for everyone who participates. There are no losers! Let's review why you should do this. The only cost is $5.00, 5 stamps and 5 envelopes. Anyone can afford this with such SPECTACULAR returns. There really is no risk - eat cheaper lunches for a week and you've covered the $5.00. The biggest risk is not to try. Remember, play fairly and honestly and this will work. Make sure you print this article now, also.(If you don't have a printer, copy it to your Hard Drive.) Keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure that everyone is playing fairly. You know where your name should be. Remember, honesty is the best policy. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money. By the way, if you don't send the $5.00 to the stated names, you won't receive as much. Someone I talked to, knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after 7-8 weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their mailing lists, and he had the expected amount of money. This is the fairest and the most honest way I've ever seen to share the wealth of the world with costing nothing but our time!!! This is the easiest way you can make money, and I mean good money! Think how excited will you be to open your mailbox every day! So, GOOD LUCK to all of you and start making your plans, because it can(and it will!) happen to you. NOTES: *1. In some countries, the export of the country's exchange is illegal.But you can get the license to do this from the post office, explaining the above statemenets(that you have an online business, etc...). You may have to pay an extra tax, but that's OK, the amount of the incoming money is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that restriction. *2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars.(Or Database or Spreadsheet software.) *3. If you're really not sure or still think this can't be for real, please print a copy of this article and pass it along to someone who really needs the money, and see what happens. *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS FAST WITH YOUR WEB BROWSER: The fastest way to post a newsletter: Highlight and COPY(Ctrl-C) the text of this posted message and PASTE(Ctrl-V) it into a plain text editor(as Wordpad) and save it.
