Hey, i found this, if you're interested MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR COMPUTER : $ $ NOT A SCAM !! $ $ : THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! : BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT EXACTLY FOR IT TO WORK AND : BE LEGAL! : I am a 29 year old executive for a very large presidential firm and a : single mother. Figuring my bills, I figured that I was over $55,000 in debt : and needed some money quick so I decided to try this. This is the only : program that kept me from filing bankruptcy the following week. With a 4 : year old daughter and heart surgery bills piling up, something had to be : done so I decided I could not loose much by trying this program. I came : across this by browsing some newsgroups on the Internet. It said that I : could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial : investment of $6.00! I thought, " Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but : like most of everyone, I was curious, so I kept reading. : The program goes as follows (follow these directions): : 1) Take 6 separate envelopes and pieces of paper. On the paper, write : “Please put me on your mailing list and then place your name with : address.” : Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place one in each of the envelopes with the : paper so wrapped around the bill so the bill can not be seen through the : envelope. This will prevent thievery. 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. By providing a $1.00 in each envelope, you : are paying for their services. This is how it becomes legal. : 2) Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: : 1) Steven 22125sw 97ct miami florida 33190 : 2) L.Pannell 8987 Riverfork rd Waterloo, SC 29384 : 3) Patty 8000 Bellflower Road, Mentor, Ohio 44060 : 4) Kristen 5381 W148th St Brookpark, Ohio 44142 : 5) K Nakano 16 Percy Ave. Reading, MA 01867 : 6) R Jones 1706 W. 59th pl Los Angeles, Ca 90047 : 3) 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. : 4) Change anything you need in this letter you would like but try to keep : it as close to original as possible. : 5) 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, and the more money you make! : -----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ : 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, then select 'copy' from the edit menu. This : will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. : 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. : 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your : postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. : 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various : newsgroups (on-line : forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) : 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!. : 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? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried : about the legal aspects of it, put I am a paralegal so I did some checking, : as well as, called the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed : that it is legal! Then I invested the $6.00. I am very glad I did.... : 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. : Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different : newsgroups and post : away, after you get the hang of it, and 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, "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 work
