YES THATS RIGHT!!!, just try this and see what happens. It cant hurt to try. Just take a few minutes to read how this can make your LIFE so much EASIER with a $5 investment. Ever wondered how those get rich by mail things work, well read on and find out. I was once a doubting Thomas also, one who never thought any of those schemes worked or where even legal. But after hearing so much about it and all those testimonials I thought HEY, WHY NOT TRY! And I did. Now with the Internet this money making idea gets even better. Why do you see so many of these get rich quick messages on the Internet? IT REALLY WORKS. Besides whats $5, Consider it an investment. Take this advice, if it doesn't recover your time and money, don't try it again. HOW DO I DO THIS? Step #1) Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five pieces of paper along with this statement; " Please put me on your mailing list". In this way you are not just sending on dollar to someone, you are paying for a service, legitimately. Fold the $1 and insert in the piece of paper so that it can not be see through the envelope( so that nosy people don't see the money and liberate it, if you know what I mean). Mail the envelopes to the following address and WAIT FOR THE $$$. #1) Chad Collier 2785 Cold Springs Rd, #49 Placerville, CA 95667, US #2) Steve Boltinhouse 1009 Bird St. Hannibal, MO 63401, US #3) Eugene Safronov 1682 Kalakana Ave., #102 Honolulu, HI 96826, US #4) Rob Sharp 23411 Summerfield, 21-H Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 #5) Bob Dacker 208 Seneca St. Ronkonkoma NY 11779 STEP#2 No here is how you get paid. Where the investment pays off. Where the $$ comes home! Now remove the top name from the list (#1) and move all other names up one ( #2 become #1, #3 become #2, #4 becomes #3, and #5 becomes #4) then add your name and address as the new number 5. You can personalize your article if you chose or you can just use this one. STEP#3 Now post this article with the new names and addresses to as many newsgroups as possible. There are at least 19000 newsgroups at any one time, take advantage of this. REMEMBER, the more exposer you get, the more money you will earn! STEP#4 Be imaginative, try other avenues for distributing your lists. If you have a web site, try that. It is important to remember that the more exposure you get the more returns you can expect. The golden rule in direct marketing is exposure. If you only get responses from 1% and in turn 1% from their mailings and so on, you can see where they money comes. HOW IT WORKS Out of every block of posts you make, let's say you get back 5 responses. Yes that's right, only FIVE. With your name at number 5 you make your investment back. Each additional person who sent you $1 will also make 250 additional postings with your name at #4 , 1000 posting will now earn you $50!!! Now these 50 people will make 250 postings each with your name at #3 or 10,000 postings. 5,000 return = $5000 in CASH. Finally, 5000 people make postings with your name at Number 1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off the list. Next step try it again, and again. You are only limited by your imagination. FINAL THOUGHT In order for this system to work and remain legal, you have to follow the steps and send your $5. Honesty is always the best policy. Good luck, have fun and make some serious money!!!!!

I haven't been to the sites in awhile so you may want to double check those first but here is what I reply with: Title 18 Section 1302 US Code Postal Lottery Statute. By using the internet for your scam spam you are comitting wire fraud. This is illegal in the US. For your information, you may want to check on the country you are in for laws regarding this. You can permanently lose you account. If someone is hacking into your account then you may want to get a new account or change your password more often then you currently do. If it is legal in your country then delete this message.
