> each piece of paper;PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now
> get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces

> LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are

> about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the
> U.S.
> Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is
> indeed
> legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
> #1)Deanna Riley
> P.O. Box 8
> Richmond, Kansas 66080
> #2)Heather Parkey
> P.O. Box 1766
> Greenville, TN 37744
> #3)Brenda Lawson
> P.O. Box 17314
> South Lake Tahoe, CA 96157
> #4)Matt Madracki
> P.O. Box 1529
> Sutton West, Ontario
> LOE 1R0
> #5) Fahad M. Almutawa
> fahad al-mutawa/kwi448
> 165-15,145th Dr.
> jamaica,NY114734
> U.S.A
> #6)Rebecca Pele
> 1335 Stanley Avenue#4
> Long Beach, Ca. 90804
> STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
> move
> the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add
> YOUR
> Name as number 6 on the list.
> STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this

> close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article
> to at
> least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000

> This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title
> 18
> Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
> Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need

> PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of
> the
> honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully

> NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,

> This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it

> So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully

> ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
> Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do

> posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter
> and
> drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and
> select 'copy'
> from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
> computer's memory.
> Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at
> the top
> of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This
> will
> paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add
> your name
> to the list.
> Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
> you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll
> always
> have this file to go back to.
> Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
> various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
> discussions.)
> Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a
> new
> message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting
> paste
> from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the
> header that
> everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
> particular group, click the post message button. You're done
> with
> your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do
> is
> jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the
> hang of
> it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
> **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU
> WILL
> MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST MINIMUM OF 200**
> That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world
> within days! You may eventually

> receive. If
> you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as
> long as the postman will deliver it.
> **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
> Now the WHY part:
> Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
> example). So then I made $5.00 with my
> name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons
> who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
> postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to
> each
> of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25
> each
> make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies
> each, I
> will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
> around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only
> receive 5
> replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here
> is the
> fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters
> with
> my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
> made me
> $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message
> to 200
> newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
> newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration. If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
