I need money, so I tried!!!

I need money, so I tried!!!

HELLO!!! Here is Ovidiu from Romania.
I am 27th years old, and I am a computer science engineer. I need money 
because I have to make a surgeon operation on the spinal column in a 
foreing country. So, I try this way.

THIS IS THE FAIREST MOST HONEST WAY I KNOW TO SHARE THE WEALTH!

Would you like to make thousands of dollars, quick, legally, with NO
CATCH?  Then keep reading....please take five minutes to read this
article it will change your life, just like it did mine.  It's true!

You can make up to or over $50,000 dollars in 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner!

I SWEAR I'M NOT LYING TO YOU, AND THIS IS NOT A SCAM!  If you're
intrested, keep reading; if you're not, I apologize for wasting your
time.

Here we go.  A little while back, I was browsing through these
newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of dollars in weeks with only an
initial investment of $5!  So, I thought, "Yeah, right, must be a scam",
but I was curious, like most of us , so I kept reading.  Anyway, it said
that you send $1 to each of the 5 names and addresses stated in the
article.  You then place your own name and address in the article at the
bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200
newsgroups (there are thousands).  No catch, that was it!

So after thinking it over, talking to a few people first, I tried it.

I figured what have I got to lose except for 5 stamps and $5, right?

Well, guess what...within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!

I was shocked!  I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it
another thought.  But then money kept coming IN, tripling in size and
multiplying by 10-20 times the amount that I got the first week!  In my
first week I made about 20 to 30 dollars.  But by the end of the second
week, I had made a total of over $1,000!!!!  In the third week, I had
over $10,000 dollars, and it's still growing.  This is my fourth week
(Oct 11) and I've made about $42,000 TOTAL, and the money is still
coming in.....

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it
works...also, make sure you print a copy of the article NOW, so you get
the information off of it, and begin making money.

The process is very simple, and it consists of 3 EASY steps:


STEP 1:  	Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
		each sheet of paper..."PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING 
LIST.  		YOU ARE NUMBER 4."  Get five $1 bills and place ONE 
inside 		each piece of paper that you just wrote on, and fold each 
		piece of paper so the bill will not be seen in the 
envelope 		(otherwise, nosy people who like to steal 
envelopes with 		money in it will get yours).  Put one paper 
inside the 			envelope and seal it.  Do the same for 
all 5.  You should now 		have 5 envelopes sealed, EACH have a 
piece of paper AND a $1 		bill stuffed inside of the paper. 
 Make sure those words that 		were stated above are stated on 
each paper.  What you are 		doing is creating a service by 
this, this is PERFECTLY LEGAL. 		Now then, mail the 5 envelopes 
with the paper and $1 in each 		to the following 5 addresses:

1.  Tiffany Jacobs
    1600 Falmouth Road, #113-1980
    Centerville, MA 02632

2.  Chris Macalich
    605 Jones Ferry Rd. #CC02
    Carrboro, NC 27510

3.  P Moffett
    1610 Orleans Cir #2J
    N. Kansas City, Mo 64116

4.  Ian Rust
    312 N. Washington
    Greentown, IN 46936

5.  Ovidiu Comaniciu
    str. Orhei 2, bl. V2, apt. 10
    PIATRA NEAMT, 5600, ROMANIA



STEP 2:  	Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, 
move 		the other 4 names up (5 becoming 4, 4 becoming 3, ect.) 
and 		put YOUR NAME as number 5 on the list.  You can slightly 
		alter this article if you need to, editing what you need 
to 		edit.



STEP 3:		Post your amended article (with your name at #5) to at 
least
		200 news groups ( I think there are close to 18,000 of 
them). 		All you	need is say, at least 200.  HOW TO DO THIS:  If 
you 		have Netscape 3.0 do EXACTLY the following:


1)   Click on any news group like normal, THEN click on 'TO NEWS', which
     is on the far left when you're in the newsgroups page.  This will 
bring
     up a box to type a message in.

2)   Leave the newsgroup box like it is,  CHANGE the subject box to
     something flashy, like, "NEED CASH $$$  READ HERE $$$" or "FAST 
CASH"!!!

3)   Tab once and you should be ready to type.  Now, retype (only once)
     THIS whole article WORD FOR WORD, except to insert your name at #5, 
and
     to remove #1 off the list, plus any other small changes you think 
you
     need to make.  Keep almost all of it the SAME!

4)   When you're done typing the WHOLE article, click on FILE in THIS
     BOX, RIGHT ABOUVE SEND, NOT WHERE IT SAYS NETSCAPE NEWS ON THE
     FIRST BOX.  Click on SAVE AS when you're under FILE.  Save you 
artcle as      a text file to your C: or A: drive.  DO NOT SEND OR POST 
YOUR ARTICLE
     UNTIL YOU DO THIS.  Once saved, move on to number 5 below.

5)   If you still have all of your text, send or post to this newsgroup
     now by just clicking send, which is right below FILE, and right 
above
     Cc: .

6)   Here's where you're going to post all 200.  OK, click on any news
     group then click on 'TO NEWS', again in the top left corner.  Leave 
the
     NEWSGROUPS BOX alone again, put a flashy subject title in the 
SUBJECT
     BOX, hit TAB once you're in the body of the message, and then click 
on
     ATTACHMENTS, which is below the SUBJECT BOX.  You will get another 
box
     to come up.  Click on ATTACH FILE, then find YOUR file that you 
saved;
     click once on the file, and then click OPEN' now click on OK; if you 
did
     this right, you should see your file name in the attachments box, 
and it
     will be shaded green.


IF YOU USE IE EXPLORER IT'S JUST AS EASY...HOLDING DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE
BUTTON, HIGHLIGHT THIS ARTICLE.  THEN PRESS THE "CRTL" KEY AND THE "C"
KEY AT THE SAME TIME TO COPY THIS ARTICLE.  THEN PRINT THIS ARTICLE FOR
YOUR RECORDS TO HAVE THE NAMES OF THOSE YOU WILL BE SENDING $1 BILLS
TO.  NEXT GO TO THE NEWS GROUPS AND PRESS "POST AN ARTICLE"  A WINDOW
WILL OPEN.  TYPE IN YOUR HEADLINE IN THE SUBJECT AREA AND THEN CLICK IN
THE LARGE WINDOW BELOW.  PRESS "CRTL" AND THEN "V" AND THE ARTICLE WILL
BE PLACED IN THE WINDOW.  IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE ARTICLE, DO SO AND
THEN HIGHLIGHT AND COPY IT AGAIN.  NOW EVERYTIME YOU POST THE ARTICLE
IN A NEW NEWSGROUP ALL YOU HAVE TO REPEAT "CTRL" AND "V" AND PRESS
POST.


7)   That's it.  Each time you do this, all you have to do is type in a
     different newsgroup, so that way, it posts to 200 DIFFERENT 
newsgroups,
     you see?  Now you just have 199 to go!! (Don't worry, each one takes
     about 30 seconds, once you get used to it) REMEMBER 200 IS THE 
MINIMUM.

The more you post the more money you will make.

AND THAT'S IT!!!  THAT'S THE ONLY 3 STEPS THERE IS!!!

You are now in the mail order business and will start recieving your $1
envelopes from various people all over the world within days.  HINT THE
MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST TO, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE.  You may
want to rent a PO Box eventually because of all the mail.  If you wish to
stay anonymous, you can come up with a name, such as "manager" or
"investor".  Just make sure all the addresses are CORRECT, please.

LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SYSTEM WORK!!!!

Out of every 200 postings, let's say I ONLY recieve 5 replies, which is
actually VERY LOW.  So I made 5 dollars with my name at #5.  Now then,
each person who just sent me $1 makes, say only 200 postings, now with
your name at number 4, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 1000 POSTINGS, not including
yours too.  50 people send you $1 now; thats $50 you just made! Now,
then your new 50 agents post 200 each with YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3, OR
10,000 POSTING (50x200).  Average return is 500 at $1 each is $500.
They make 200 postings, which is 5,000 returns at $1 each, which is
$5000 dollars!  And finally, 5000 people make 200 postings wach with
YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1.  YOU NOW GET A RETURN OF $50,000 BEFORE YOUR
NAME DROPS OFF THE LIST.  AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE MAKES 200 POSTINGS
ONLY, AND IF ONLY 5 PERSONS RESPOND!!!!!

When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting that is appearing in the newsgroups, and SEND OUT ANOTHER $5 TO
THE NAMES ON THE LIST, PUTTING YOUR NAME AT 5 AGAIN.  And start posting
again.  The thing to remember is, do you realize that THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE JOINING THE INTERNET AND READING THESE
ARTICLES EVERY DAY, JUST LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!!! So can afford $5
dollars and see if it really works?  I think so.....
People have said, "What if the plan is played out and no one sends you
the money?"  So what!  What are the chances of that happening when there
are TONS OF NEW HONEST USERS AND NEW HONEST PEOPLE who are joining the
Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with THOUSANDS
of those joing the actual Internet.  Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY
and this WILL WORK, I PROMISE YOU!!!  You just have to be honest.  Make
sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also, try to keep a list of
everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the mnewsgroups
to make sure everyone is playing fairly.  REMEMBER, HONESTY IS THE BEST
POLICY.  YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!!  GOOD
LUCK TO ALL AND PLEASE PLAY FAIRLY AND YOU WILL REAP THE HUGE REWARDS
FROM THIS, WHICH IS TONS OF EXTRA CASH!!!

By the way, if you try to decieve people by posting the messages with
your name on the list and not sending the money to the people already on
the list, you will not get much.  Someone I talKed to knew someone who
did that and he only made $150 dollars, and that's AFTER seven or eight
weeks!  Then he sent the 5 $1 bills, people added him to their lists,
and in 4-5 weeks, he had over $10K.

THIS IS THE FAIREST AND MOST HONEST WAY I HAVE EVER SEEN TO SHARE THE
WEALTH OF THE WORLD WITHOUT COSTING ANYTHING BUT OUR TIME!!!
