Please, replying to the newgroup about these people won't help, and adds to the general confusion, and sending e-mail to their provider will only help a little. We've explained numerous times that these scams are both illegal, and don't work. I've posted the "Math of $5 mail scams" twice, but, the messages kept pouring in by the thoiusands. The best thing to do is ignore this people, and NEVER, EVER try joining one of these pyramid scams, because you will be posting to the newsgroups, making MORE people post, etc. And, even though they say that it's legal, it isn't. Pyramid schemes and chain letters are illegal, according to the post office. Sorry, I've talked too much. I'll go away now. -Steve =)
