NEED FOR CASH?

Please take five minutes to read this article. It could make
a big difference in your life. Anyway, it'll be fun.
Here we go. A little while back, I was browsing through these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of dollars in weeks with only an
initial investment of $5! So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam",
but I was curious, like most of us, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
that you send $1 to each of the 5 names and addresses listed in the
article. You then place your own name and address in the article at the
bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200
newsgroups (there are thousands). No catch, that was it!
So after thinking it over, I tried it. I figured what have I got
to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right?
Here's the story as presented. "After sending out the 5 envelopes,
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!
"I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't
give it another thought. But then the money kept coming IN, tripling
in size and multiplying by 10-20 times the amount that I got the first
week! In my first week, I received about 20 to 30 dollars. But by the
end of the second week, a total of over $1,000 dollars had come in!!!!
In the third week, it had grown to over $10,000 dollars, and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth week and I've made about $42,000 TOTAL,
and the money is STILL coming in....."
***This is the good news for the author of this article, this is not my
history. I am just now (11/13) posting this article. I am giving it a
shot and I think you should too. It's certainly worth five bucks. We
spend that on coffee and snacks for our commutes every day or so.
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, and begin making money.
The process is very simple, and it consists of 3 EASY steps:
STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
sheet of paper..."PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. YOU ARE NUMBER
( 1, 2, 3, or 4, case sensetive)." (In this way, you're not just sending
a dollar to someone; you're paying for a legitimate service. Also,
you're letting each recipient know which cycle his name is in.) Get
five $1 bills and place ONE inside each piece of paper that you just wrote
on, and fold each piece of paper so the bill will not be seen in the
envelope (otherwise, nosy people who like to steal envelopes with money
in it will get yours). Put one paper inside the envelope and seal it.
Do the same for all 5. You should now have 5 envelopes sealed, EACH with
a piece of paper AND a $1 bill stuffed inside of it. Make sure those words
that were stated above are stated on each paper. What you are doing is
creating a service by this, this is PERFECTLY LEGAL. Now then, mail the
5 envelopes with paper and $1 in each to the following 5 addresses:
1. M. NAWLO, 27 CROWS NEST LN. # 17, Danbury, CT. 06810
2. M. Bennett, 4831 168th St SW #G103, Lynnwood, WA 98037
3. T. Nestripke, 4370 Inverary Dr. #11, Salt Lake City, UT. 84124
4. P. Hofmann, 894 E. Fillmore Ave., East Aurora, NY 14052
5. M. Lemieux, 11 Lillian Dr., Ashburnham, MA 01430
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other 4 names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc.) and put YOUR NAME
as number 5 on the list. You can slightly alter this article if you
need to, editing what YOU need to edit.
STEP 3: Post your amended article (with your name at #5) to at least
200 news groups (I think there're close to 18,000 of them).
HOW TO DO THIS:
You can do this through the posting capabilities of most newsreader
programs you already use. Just place the revised copy of this post
in the message section, give it a catchy title, and post.
If you have Netscape 3.0 you can handle your posts by doing EXACTLY
the following:
1) Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page. This will bring
up a box to type a message in.
2) Leave the newsgroup box like it is, CHANGE the subject box to
something flashy, like, "NEED CASH $$$ READ HERE $$$" or "FAST CASH"!!!
3) Tab once and you should be ready to type. Now, retype (only once)
THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except to insert your name at #5, and
to remove #1 off the list, plus any other small change you think you
need to make. Keep almost all of it the SAME!
4) When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS
BOX, RIGHT ABOVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE FIRST BOX.
Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE. Save your article as a text
file to your C: or A: drive. DO NOT SEND OR POST YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
DO THIS. Once saved, move on to number 5 below.
5) If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right above
Cc:
6) Here's where you're going to post all 200. OK, click on any news
group then click on 'To News', again in the top left corner. Leave the
NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the SUBJECT
BOX, hit TAB once so you're in the body of the message, and then click
on ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX. You will get another
box to come up. Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you
saved; click once on the file, and then click OPEN; now click on OK; if
you did this right, you should see your file name in the attachments
box, and it will be shaded green.
7) That's it. Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT newsgroups,
you see? Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
about 30 seconds, once you get used to it) REMEMBER SHOOT FOR AT LEAST
200.
The more you post to, the more money you will come in.
AND THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S THE ONLY 3 STEPS THERE IS!!!!
You are now in the mail order business and will start receiving your $1
envelopes from various people all over the world within days. HINT:
THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE RESPONSES YOU WILL GET.
You may want to rent a PO Box eventually because of all the mail. If you
wish to stay anonymous, you can come up with a name, such as "manager" or
"investor". Just make sure all the addresses are CORRECT, please.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS!!!!
Out of every 200 postings, let's say I ONLY receive 5 replies, which is
actually VERY LOW. So I made 5 dollars with my name at #5. Now then,
each person who just sent me $1 makes, say only 200 postings, now with
your name at number 4, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 1000 POSTINGS, not including
yours too. 50 people send you $1 now; that's $50 you just made! Now,
then your new 50 agents post 200 each with YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3, OR
10,000 POSTING (50X200). Average return is 500 at $1 each is $500.
They make 200 postings each with your name at number 2, which is 100,000
postings, which is 5,000 returns at $1 each, which is $5,000 dollars!
And finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with YOUR NAME AT
NUMBER 1. YOU NOW GET A RETURN OF $50,000 BEFORE YOUR NAME DROPS OFF
THE LIST. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE MAKES 200 POSTINGS ONLY, AND IF ONLY 5
PERSONS RESPOND TO EACH SET OF 200!!!!!
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one
sends you the money?" OH WELL! What are the chances of that happening
when there are SO MANY NEW USERS who are joining the Internet and
newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? And besides,
you only have $6.60 including postage at stake.
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!!! You just have
to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also.
Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an
eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. REMEMBER,
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO
MAKE THE MONEY!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND PLEASE PLAY FAIRLY AND YOU WILL
REAP THE HUGE REWARDS FROM THIS, WHICH IS TONS OF EXTRA CASH.
** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the
messages with your name in the list and not sending the money to
the people already on the list, you will not get as much. Someone
I talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150,
and that's AFTER seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1 bills,
people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks, he had over $10K.
:) ENJOY! :)
