In Reply to: ONLY $6 IT WORKS!!! posted by Joe on January 13, 2001 at 12:47:56 PM MST:
: NOW I know you've probably read this message, or one similar to it, before and thought,"
: Yeah right! What a scam!". So did I, but I gave it a try, and while I didn't make the
: "$42,000.00 in 4 weeks" the original author claims to have, I have made $19,
: 450.00 in a 2 months! It really DOES work, so why not give it a try? After all,
: 6 bucks ain't that much to risk. I'm sure you'll be very happy! Good Luck!! HOW TO
: TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND:
: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK!
: 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 99% 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:
: #1) M. Locke 2872 La Loma Dr. Apt#67 Rancho Cordova, CA 95670
: #2) Virju Patel 5814 Aloha Drive Fort Wayne, IN 46815
: #3) D. Miller 3400 Red Lion Rd. Apt 29B Philadelphia, PA 19114
: #4)Debra Gibbs 9307 Florence Drive Sturtevant, Wi 53177
: #5) MARC LEVITT 9330 NW 10TH ST. PLANTATION, FL 33322
: #6) Joe Maher 19 Milano Place San Rafael, CA 94901
: 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! You won't get very much unless you post like
: crazy. : )
: 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!
