I make my living on the Internet, selling a legitimate product to anxious
buyers: reconditioned circuit boards for everything from video games to
garage door openers. Consequeltly I've seen lot's of postings about making
"Fast Cash" through a pyramid or chain.  I always thought this was a big
joke & waste of the bandwith until I recognized a name on one of the lists
and called the fellow up.  Here's what he told me:

My friend responded to an offer to invest $5 and five stamps and get back
$50,000. Although he fealt a little foolish, he gave it a try.  Well,
after a couple of weeks he did not have $50,000., he had $7.  He thought,
"All I've wasted is my time".  A few more responses trickled in and he
gave them to his children.  It was fun for them and the amount of money
was really insignificant.  Before long, though, the children were
receiving more money than they could spend.  They'd go to the mall for
entire days at a time, treating themselves and their friends to the
arcade, toy stores, all they could eat and drink and still come home with
pockets full of dollars.  At this point, Dad stepped in and set up a
college fund with the remaining dollars received: OVER $20,000. !!  And
they have no idea how much money was just blown initially.
Want to give it a try and see how it works for you?  It's very simple and
only costs $5 and five stamps. Here's how:  There's a list of five names
at the end of this posting. To each of those names, mail a one dollar bill
folded inside a note requesting, "Please add my name to your list" and
include your name and address.  Then re-post this message (or write your
own) and include the list EXCEPT, remove the top name on the list, move
the other four names up one slot, and place your name and address at the
bottom.  Post to as many places as you can think of; the more you post,
the more money you'll receive.  That's all there is to it.  Too easy you
think? Consider this:
If out of the 1,000's of on-line news groups and bullentin board services,
you post to 15 and as a result, ONLY ONE PERSON responds to each posting
and does the same thing as you, here's what the numbers look like:  First
response, you receive $15. Second response, you receive $225.  Third
response, you receive $3,375.  Fourth response, you receive $50,625. AND
REMEMBER:  these numbers assume only ONE SINGLE RESPONSE per posting. 
Play with the numbers a little if, oh say, 3 or 4 people responded, or, if
you posted 30 times.  It's mind boggling !
Here's the list - GOOD LUCK ! -:)
