| Of course you do, we all do !!! Here's how to do so with little effort,
| and, yes IT'S LEGAL.
| A little while back, I was browsing these 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. Like most of us, I kept reading. Anyway, it said that
| if
| you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the
| article,
| you could make thousands in a very short period of time.  You then place
| your
| own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6, and post the
| article
| to
| at least 200 newsgroups.(There are about 22,000.)
| No catch, that was it.

Sounds like a spammed scam to me....

I can make money without stupid spammed scams....

Any thing that has to claim it's "NOT A SCAM" usually is a scam, anything
that has to claim it's "PERFECTLY LEGAL" is usually illegal...
