Are you tired of reading "get rich quick Schemes" always
wondering "DO THEY REALLY WORK?". "How much will it cost?"
etc...
About 5 minutes ago, I was browsing through the
newsgroups when I accidentally downloaded a "Need cash Fast"
posting. I tend to avoid them because I simply don't believe
in them.
But after reading it, my optimism urges/ed me to give it
a try, after all it will only cost me around $8.00
($5.00 + postage). Without being arrogant, conceded etc...
I consider myself intelligent and I�m currently studying
medicine down under in Australia,(yes it's true our
beaches are topless, sometimes the only thing covering
them up is dental floss) after completing a Bachelor
of science degree.
If you think about it "WHY THE HELL NOT", $8.00
(Australian = around $6.90). I also consider myself
very honest and would guess that %80 of the population
are honest, as it is always said it's the bad eggs that
get noticed and cause the problems. Knowing this and the
fact that there are millions of people on the net,
statistically the potential outcome,
far, far, far outweighs the investment of only $8.00.
Additionally, if in fact it is all bull, the gain to the
bullshitter is $1.00, hardly worth the effort.
So I'll give it a try, off to Aussy post. Will keep you posted.
I have included large segments of the original posting, so
you guys can make up your own mind.
Let me start by saying that I FINALLY
FOUND IT! That's right! I found it! And
I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate
those schemes like multi-level marketing,
mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing scams,
900 number scams...the list goes on forever.
I have tried every darn get rich quick scheme
out there over the past 12 years. I somehow
got on mailing lists for people looking
to make money (more like 'desperate stupid
people who will try anything for money!').
Well, when I was a teenager, these claims to
'get me rich quick' sounded irresistible! I
would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there,
$24.95 here, and another $49.95 there.
I had maxed out my new Circuit City Card AND
my Visa...I was desperate for money!! So, I
gave them all a chance but failed at every one
of them! Maybe they worked for some people, but
not for me. Eventually, I just tossed that
JUNK MAIL in the trash when I got the mail.
I recognized it right away. I can smell a money
scam from a mile away these days, SO I THOUGHT....
I thought I could sniff out a scam easily.
WAS I WRONG!! ....I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!
I was scanning thru a NEWSGROUP and saw an article
stating to GET CASH FAST!! I thought...
"Here on the Internet?? Well, I'll just have to
see what schemes could possibly be on the internet."
The article described a way to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL
TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50, 0000 IN CASH WITHIN
4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought about it, the more
I became very curious. Why? Because of the way it
worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS
(AND FIVE STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER PAY....EVER!!
Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount
to reach, but it was possible. I knew that I could
at least get a return of $1,000 or so. So I did it!!
As per the instructions in the article, I mailed out
('snail mail' for you e-mail fanatics) a single dollar
bill to each of the five people on the list that was
contained in the article. I included a small note,
with the dollar, that stated "Please Add Me To Your List."
I then removed the first position name of the five names
listed and moved everyone up one po-sition, and I put
my name in position five of the list. This is how the
money starts rolling in! I then took this revised
article now with my name on the list and REPOSTED IT
ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE
AREAS THAT I KNEW. I then waited to watch the money come
in...pre-pared to maybe receive about $1000 to $1500 in
cash or so.... But what a welcome surprise when those
envelopes kept coming in!!! I knew what they were as
soon as I saw the return addresses from people all over
the world
Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some
from Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So
how much did I get in total return? $1000? $5000?
Not even!!! I received a total of $23,343!!! I couldn't
believe it!!
I now have a brand new black Acura Integra to speak
for, due to this!! Now after almost 8 months, I am
ready to do it again!!! So maybe it was possible to
get $50,000 in cash, I don't know, but IT COMPLETELY
DEPENDS ON YOU, THE INDIVIDUAL! You must follow
through and repost this article everywhere you can
think of! The more postings you achieve will determine
how much cash will arrive in your very own mailbox!!
It's just too easy to pass up!!!
YES REPOSTING IS WHAT ONE WOULD CALL THE ONLY "CATCH" TO THIS
INVESTMENT. BUT REMEMBER IN THIS CASE A LITTLE WORK CAN GO
A VERY VERY LONG WAY. DO WHAT I'M DOING, WRITING THIS NOTE ON
WINDOWS NOTEPAD, ADDING BITS AND PIECES THEN CUT AND PASTING IT
TO NESCAPE'S NEWS VIEWER, WHICH MAKES POSTING TO NEWS GROUPS
A BREEZE.
-Marc
LETS'S REVIEW THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS:
COST = $5.00 + 5 envelopes + 5 stamps
EFFORT = REPOSTING THE AMMENDED ARTICLE to the newsgroups
the more postings = a larger audience.
+ (going to post office and mailing (postage and
handling).
WAIT = GO ABOUT LIFE LIKE NORMAL.
WALK = OR RUN TO MAILBOX DAILY.
BANK = DEPOSIT, DEPOSIT, DEPOSIT

So how do you do it exactly, you ask? I have
carefully provided the most detailed, yet
straightforward instructions on how to easily get this
under-way and get your cash on its way. SO,
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following:
"Please add my name to your list". This creates a
service out of this money making system and thus
making it completely legal. You are not just
randomly sending a dollar to someone, you are paying
one dollar for a legitimate service. Make sure
you include your name and address. I assure you
that, again, this is completely legal! For a neat
little twist, also write what slot their name was
in: "You were in slot 3", Just to add a little fun!
This is all about having fun and making money at
the same time!
2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill
(no checks or money orders), and put them into an
envelope and send it on its way to the five
people listed. The folding of the paper around
the bill will insure its arrival to its recipient.
THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!
3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get
YOUR MONEY COMING TO YOUR MAILBOX.
Look at the list of five people; remove the
first name from position one and move everyone
on the list up slot one on the list. Position 2
name will now move to the position 1 slot ,
position 3 will now become position 2,
4 will be 3, 5 will be 4. Now put your name,
address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5,
the bottom position on the list.
4. Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups
and local bulletin boards' message areas & file
section as possible. Give a catchy description
of the file so it gets noticed!!
Such as: "NEED FAST CASH?, HERE IT IS!" or
"NEED CASH TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS??", etc.
And the more uploads, the more money you will
make, and of course, the more money the others
on the list will make too. LET'S ALL TAKE
CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY
PUTTING FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE
& AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap the benefits,
believe me!!! Set a goal for the number of total
uploads you'll post, such as 15-20 postings
or more! Always have a goal in mind!!!
If you can UUE encode the file when uploading,
that will make it easier for the people to
receive it and have it downloaded to their hard
drive.That way they get a copy of the article
right on their computer without hassles
of viewing and then saving the article from
the File menu. Don't alter the file type,
leave it as an MS-DOS Text file. The best
test is to be able to view this file using
Microsoft's Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad
for Windows '95. If the margins look right
without making the screen slide left or right
when at the ends of the sentences, you're in
business!
5. If you need help uploading, simply ask the
sysop of the BBS, or "POST" a message on a
newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell
them who your Internet provider is and PEOPLE
WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP. I would try to
describe how to do it but there are simply
too many internet software packages with
slightly different yet relatively simple ways
to post or upload a file.Just ask for help
or look in the help section for 'posting'. I
do know that for GNN, you simply select
'POST' then enter a catchy description under
the subject box, choose 'ATTACH',
selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then choose
'Browse' to go look for the file. Find your
text file CASH.TXT and click on it and
choose 'OK'. Place a one line statemen
in the main body section of the message
post screen. Something like "Download this
to read how to get cash arriving in your
mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever.
Just make sure it represents its true
feasibility, NOT something like...
"Get one million dollars flooding in your
mailbox in two days!" You'll never get
ANY responses!
6. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BACK
AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE CASH IS ON ITS
THE WAY!! Expect to see a little money
start to trickle in around 2 weeks, but
AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY STORM WILL
HIT YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do
is take it out of the mailbox and try not
to scream too loud (outside anyway) when
you realize YOU HIT THE BIG TIME AT LAST!!
7. So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then
get that something special you always wanted
or buy that special person in your life (or
the one you want in your life) a gift
they'll never forget. ENJOY LIFE!
8. Now when you get low on this money supply,
simply re-activate this file again; Reposting
it in the old places where you originally
posted and possibly some new places you
now know of. Don't ever lose this file,
always keep a copy at your reach for when
you ever need cash. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE
TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND
TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!
9. (This step added by Charles Reiley). Hello,
This is exciting isn't it?! While I'm on
the list, just add a note saying "Please
include extra money tips" with your name
& E-MAIL address, and I will (FOR FREE) send
you some neat methods to increase the money
you will receive with this plan. Why?...
Why not? I'm not a selfish jerk...I like
helping out others. E-mail just makes it
a touch easier and cheaper, too! After I drop
off the list, I can no longer offer you
this advice, obviously, but maybe someone
else who gets my tips will offer and
simply replace my name on this step
number 9. Good luck and give this plan
your all, it will definitely pay off!
Like Mike said, HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!
