HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE
YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A
little while back, I was browsing through 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, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send
$1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
article. You then place your own name and address in the
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.
So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people
first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got
to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested
the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I
started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second
week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week
I had over $10,000.00 and it's 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 rapidly. It's certainly worth
$6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent 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 as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the
directions exactly, that you will start making more money
than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it
out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch
the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your
investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is
not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really
works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered
to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and
$50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program
remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of
the participants. Please continue its success by carefully
adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of
the Mail Order business. In this business your product is
not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary
to the income which is made from people like you and me
asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy
steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR
MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US $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 thievery). Next, 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, your name and address, and a $1.00
bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service
and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little
skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
Mailing Adresses

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.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close to original as possible. Now, post your
amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there
are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This
is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title
18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you
need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because
of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by
their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this
way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and
the money that so many others have received will come your
way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to
you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes
people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing
a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1
bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
followed, six members will be reimbursed for their
participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your
name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands
of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00
($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
it now, add your own name to the list and you're in
business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO
NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type
this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your
cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor
to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the
edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at
the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select
'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad
so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you
want to do your postings in different settings, you'll
always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching
for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat
sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as
a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject,
this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group, click
the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang
of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box
due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you
wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as
long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5
replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my
name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who
just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with
my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies
each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125
persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at
#3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of
those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at
#2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
$3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5
persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!
With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When
your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And
start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
realize that thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?,
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if
it really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if
the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So
what! What are the chances of that happening when there are
tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing
to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
work.

I think it goes without saying that the above advice should be ignored.

What I never understood was, if everyone puts in $6, how can they all get thousands back?

If everyone you send it to sends it to 5 people (or whatever the instructions are) and each one of those sends it to 5, and so on, and after 4 steps each of those sends you $6, it would theoretically work. Of course, most of the people are going to ignore this, so you won't get anything.

One of the things that these multi-level scams rely upon is that many people will look no further than the five or siz levels deep from which they expect to receive money.

If you take the time to analyze a little further, however, it soon becomes clear that after a few more levels the number of people who would have to become involved for the scheme to work is enormous, and in fact very soon exceeds the population of the entire world.

But it will never get that far.

What i cant understand most is why some idiot has posted it on these forums.

Richard,

It seems to be the shotgun approach:

"and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups. (There are thousands)"
