Making Money Fast!!

Making Money Fast!!

alt.ascii-art.animation · 1 message · 7 Apr 1996
	Have I gotten some great news for all you people that are 
broke! After reading this message I think that you can do away with a 
lot of those bills that you get every month and do not really have the 
money to pay them.  After you read this message and follow the simple 
instructions you could be making more money then you do on your 
everyday job.
	I will start by saying that I found this idea on my local 
Bulletin Board System (BBS).  I almost deleted it when I saw it, 
because I hate get rich fast schemes that take your money and give you 
back nothing.  Oh yes, I have tried them all, it seems.  I have tried 
the mail-order schemes, the envelope stuffing schemes, the multi-level 
marketing, 900 numbers, and  Real Estate games.  There is a lot more, 
but I will not list them all since I want to keep this message as 
short as possible.  It seems I have tried every get rich quick scheme 
out there over the past 14 years.  Over those 14 years I got on all 
kinds of mailing list for stupid people that will try anything to make 
a buck.  When I was younger they all sounded as if they would work 
without even working hard for it. I would send these people $15, these 
people $30, and these people $50.  Before I knew it I had buried the 
limit on all of my credit cards, and man was I bent way out of shape 
financially.  I finally said to my self that I would not try any more 
of the dumb get rich schemes again.  I, for about 1 1/2 years got 
plenty of junk mail from these places saying that they had new ways to 
improve my income.  I did not even waste my time in reading them.  
They would come in the house and straight to the trash can.  It seems 
as if I could see these schemes a mile away now, but then I saw this 
message on my own BBS.  
	I was about to write the person who uploaded it a very harsh 
message, and tell him not to ever upload any get rich fast scams on my 
BBS again. Then I read the message all the way through to it's fullest. 
The message talked about away to mail a one dollar bill to five people 
and make $35,000 in cash in 2 months.  I thought to myself for a few 
days on the matter.  I finally said to myself, "It could work, but if 
it does not, I will have only lost $5 dollars, the cost of the stamps, 
and the cost of the envelopes."  
	Well, I did not think that I would hit the $35,000 dollar 
mark, but I figured I could at least get something back in return 
since my over head was only $5 dollars. So I tried it.  Hiding it from 
my spouse, I followed the directions in the message and mailed out a 
single dollar bill to the 5 names on the list, which the person before 
had attached to his message.  I wrote a small note to send with the 
dollar saying "Please add my name to your list."  I then took the 
first name in the list off and moved the rest of the names up one slot.  
Then I added my name in the number 5 slot of the list (The placing 
your name on the list is where you make money).  I then took the new 
list of names, which now included my own, and E-Mailed it to every BBS 
operator in Fidonet, which is a group of BBS operators across the 
world.  I figured that was a good way to get it to a lot of people 
fast.  I then sat and waited  for the money to come. I was expecting 
to maybe make, at the most $500 to $600 dollars, or at least some 
where in that area.  
	The secret from my wife was out after about 2 to 3 weeks. It 
became very hard to keep the secret any longer from her,  because of 
the return addresses.  She was wanting to know who, what and why these 
people from all over the world where sending me a dollar bill.  I then 
explained it to her and she could not believe it.  The mail continued 
to come in every day.  My mail carrier even questioned me once or 
twice.  It was a feeling beyond belief.  I guess that you want to know 
how much I made now? Well, I did not reach $35,000, but I did bring in 
$14,684.  I just could not believe that it worked this well.  
	The first thing I did was pay off mine and my wife's car.  It
felt so good calling the bank and asking for a payoff.  I then took 
the rest of the money and paid off  has many of my credit cards as I 
could.  Now after 1 year, I am ready to do it again. This time my 
spouse suggested USEGROUPS on the Internet, and I believe that it 
should work better than before.  I think that someone could hit that 
$35,000 dollar mark, but I do not know that yet.  It all really 
depends on you, the individual.  You have to follow through and 
re-post this  message everywhere you can put it.  The more people you 
get it to the better the response you will get.  It is just too easy 
to pass up this money making system!
	Let's look at the reasons you need to do this.  First of all 
it only cost 5 $1 bills, 5  $0.32 stamps, and 5 envelopes (what ever 
they cost) that you need to mail to the 5 names on the list.  Then 
simply re-post the message and list, with your name on it, to all the 
USEGROUPS and public BBS' you can.  Then just sit back , relax, and 
enjoy the excise of walking up and down the driveway to the mailbox.  
Everybody has $5 dollars to put in something that will make them 
$10,000 to $15,000 dollars in about 3-6 weeks.  Ask your self this 
simply question, "What is $5 dollars?".  Hold off on eating out one 
night, hold off on those lottery tickets, and put $5 dollars in this 
MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW! It is really hard to lose at it.

	So how do you do it, you ask? I have in most detailed, and 
straightforwardly  prepared the instructions on how this system works, 
and how to get the money in your mailbox.  Follow these instructions 
step-by-step if you are ready to make some money.  You might want to 
make a printout of this steps to make them easier to follow.

1.  Take a blank piece of paper and write on it the follow message:
	         "Please add my name to your list".
    This will make a service out of the dollar, and making this money 
    system completely legal.  You will not be just sending a dollar to 
    someone, but paying for a legitimate service.  Make sure to also 
    write down your name and address.  I assure you once again that 
    this is completely legal!
 
2.  Fold your piece of paper around the dollar bill, (NO CHECKS OR 
    MONEY ORDERS), and put them in the envelope.  Apply this step for 
    all 5 of the people on the list, which is at the end of this 
    message.  

3.  Now, here is where you make your money.  Look at your list of 5 
    people.  Remove the name in slot number 1, and move all the other 
    names up 1 slot.  For instance, move the name in slot number 2 up 
    to slot number 1.  The name in slot number 3 then moves up to slot 
    number 2.  The name in slot number 4 should then be move up to 
    slot number 3, and finally the name in slot number 5 up to slot 
    number 4.  Then put your name and complete mailing address in slot 
    number 5.  

4.  Now, upload this updated file, with your name in slot number 5, to 
    as many USEGROUPS and BBS conference areas and file areas as can.
    Remember the more people that get the message the better the 
    response will be for you, and the other people on the list.  Give 
    the message a real eye catching name so it will catch someone's 
    eye.  Some examples are:  "Need some extra money?", "Need some 
    money quick?", "A way to pay off your bills fast!!", or "Money!".  
    Set a goal on how much money you want to make and keep these 
    number in mind at all times.  With this goal in mind, you will get 
    a good figure of how many people have got to read the message and 
    then respond.  You can make it easier for people to receive your 
    message in USEGROUPS by UUE encoding the file when you are 
    uploading it. That way people can download it to their hard drive 
    or a floppy.  Don't alter the file type, leave it as a MS-DOS Text 
    file.  The best way to test the file is to open the file using 
    Notepad in Windows to make sure the margins look right.  You 
    should make sure that the viewing person do not have to slide the 
    screens back and forth to read the message.  One other thing about 
    the list of names, you should not try any funny editing of the 
    list of names. You should only add your name and no others to the 
    list. If you want a friend to do it with you give them a copy of 
    your edited list, with your name on it, so you can make a dollar 
    for yourself.  

5.  If you need help uploading your file, ask some on the system you 
    are trying to upload too.  Somebody will always help you with the 
    matter.  When you upload it as a file on a BBS be sure to give the 
    file an eye catching name like: "CASH.TXT", or "MONEY.TXT".

6.  After you do all the above steps sit back and wait for the money 
    to come in, and it will.  Expect to see some money start coming in 
    about 2 weeks.  When week 3-4 roll around, the money will really 
    start coming.  It is more than just a normal feeling to see all 
    the money that you will receive.  

7.  Now you can go and pay off all your debts, and then go and buy 
    something that you have always wanted or maybe something that you 
    have always wanted to get someone else.  After that, just enjoy 
    life!

8.  When you have spent all of that money, simply start posting the 
    same message again.  Post it in the old places, and maybe some new 
    places.  Don't just delete this file after the first time, because 
    you can reuse it time and time again in the same way you did the 
    first.


    I will say this much about this system, it works!  I got hold of 
this list after it had already been all over my home town.  I have 
talk with an everyone on the below list, and they said that they 
started out thinking that it would not work.  Most of them made more 
then I did on the first go around.  I am not yet really sure who 
started this thing or really where, but THANKS!  The lists of names 
are below.
