NEW VERSION ! 1997 (Legal Questions Addressed!)
(Excerpt From Bob Novak Who Started This New Version)
In late October of 1996, I saw an article in an
internet newsgroup telling me that I could make $50,000
within a month for an investment of only $5. I thought, "OH
YAH!! I'VE GOT A BRIDGE I'LL SELL YOU TOO!!" It sounded
like all the rest of the "get rich quick" schemes and scams
I've seen over the past 40 years or so.
I spoke to my attorney, a few friends, and family about
it, and they all agreed it was some kind of scam. I can't
stand scams, because usually someone gets burned, and I
didn't want it to be me. After rejecting the idea at first,
it kind of played on my mind and I thought, "what if it
really worked?" I realized all I had to lose was $5.00, I
usually blow that much on the lottery every week anyway, so
I figured what the heck, and decided to give it a shot.
Within two weeks I began receiving money in the mail!
Soon, hundreds, and then thousands of dollars began to roll
in. Within 4 weeks, I had received a total of $46,812.00!
It came from everywhere in the world." Lately, I've doubled
my efforts and the money is rolling in even faster. I would
tell you how much but then the IRS would know also, let's
just say it's a VERY comfortable living. Now, I am really
going to work! If I can make as much as I have, and still
am, on a lousy $5.00 investment, why not double it and make
the "Big Bucks" twice as fast? Anybody can afford to gamble
$10.00 on a chance to make $100,000.00 or more in a month,
especially when the business has already proven itself.
If you follow the three steps below, there is no reason
why the same shouldn't happen to you! This is a legitimate
investment opportunity. You invest $10, and you receive a
return on your investment. So does the next investor. THIS
IS NOT ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER, THIS IS
PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE. (See additional legal details below.)
THE PROCEEDURE IS SIMPLE:
1) Invest your $10 by writing your name and address on five
seperate pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD
ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In this way, you're not just
sending two dollars to someone; you're paying for a
legitimate service.) Fold two $1 U.S. Treasury bills, money
order, or bank note inside each piece of paper, and mail
them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses:
1. P. Letersky
P.O. Box 650, Fairfield Univ.
Fairfield, CT 06430
2. Sam Schechter
433 Kingston Ave.
Suite 56
Brooklyn, NY 11225
3. Jim Lachien
Rt.1 Box 2095
North Ferrisburgh,Vermont 05473
4. Charles Cook
1623 Carl St.
Suite #3
St. Paul, MN 55108
5. Rick Curtis
PO Box 5234
Westport, CT 06881-5234
2) Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
other four names up. In other words, #5 becomes #4 and so
on. Put your name as the fifth one on the list. You can do
this by simply retyping the article or reposting it to other
newsgroups with the edited addresses.
3) Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are
22,000, so it shouldn't be hard to find that many. Remember,
there are no "Free Lunches" in this world so the harder you
work the more money you will make.
You are now in the mail order investment business, and
should start seeing returns within a week or two. Of course,
the more newsgroups you post to, the greater your return
will be. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may use a
pseudonym, but make sure your address is correct.
LEGAL ? ? ?
People have asked me if this is really legal. It is!
You are using the Internet to advertise your business. What
is that business? You are assembling a mailing list of
