Subject: Is this a legal way to make money???
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FAST?
Of course you do, we all do!
Here's how to do so with little effort, and, yes IT'S LEGAL. And for you
doubters. I am laughing all the way to the bank :-) And guess what?
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 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. Like most of us, I kept reading. Anyway, it said that if you
send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article, you
could make thousands in a very short period of time. You then place your
own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article
to at least 200 newsgroups. (There are about 22,000.) or e-mail them to
friends, or e-mailing lists...
No catch, that was it.
Even though the investment was a measly $6, I had three questions thad
three questions that needed to be answered before I could get involved in
this sort of thing.
1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?
I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I would
actually make any money but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I
told him it sounded a lot like a chain letter but the details of the system
(SEE BELOW) actually made it a legitimate legal business.
2. Would the Post Office be ok with this...?
I called them: 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
(See Title 18,h sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This
clarifies the program of collecting names and addresses for a mailing list.
3. Is this moral?
Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of getting A LOT of
money ... a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!
So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY $7.92 ... six $1.00
bills and six 32 cent postage stamps ... and boy am I glad I did! Within 7
days, I started getting money istarted 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's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps!
So now I'm reposting this so I can make even more money! The *ONLY* thing
stopping *ANYONE* from enriching their own bank account is pure laziness!
It took me all of 5 MINUTES to print this out, follow the directions, and
begin posting to newsgroups. It took me a mere 45 minutes to post to over
200 newsgroups. And for this GRAND TOTAL investment of $ 7.92 (US) and
under ONE HOUR of my time, I have reaped an incredible amount of money --
like nothing I've ever even heard of anywhere before!
'Nuff said!
Let me tell you how 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 THREE easy steps.
============
HOW IT WORKS
============
STEP 1:
------
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper:
PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST.
$1 US DOLLAR PROCESSING FEE IN ENCLOSED.
(THIS IS KEY AS THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT LEGAL SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND
LATER OFFERING A SERVICE).
Now get 6 $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 theft/robbery.
Then, 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 and an U.S. $1.00 bill.
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 - D.Necalliski
1266 Lisa Drive
Warrington, PA 1897Drive
Warrington, PA 189776
#2 - Pete Sharpe
648 Midway Ave.
Holland, MI 49423
#3 - G. Rice
P.O. Box 572
Humboldt, AZ 86329
#4 - Henry Grande
8862 Calliandra Rd
San Diego, CA 92126
#5 - Peter L. S.
1253 Leaside drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15207
#6 - Kim Smith
700 Archer Street #1
McKeesport, Pa 15132
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. (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! 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
