ť I make more money doing this 4 hours a week
ť than I did as a full time certified pipe welder making $24.oo an hour. SO CAN YOU
ť Turn $6.00 into $60,000... or the same as a $28 dollar an hour full time job sleeping, watching tv,eating, shopping, traveling,fishing and most importantly helping your family and friends when they need it.YOU HAVE TO READ THIS THEN JUST DO IT!!!! IT HAS WORKED FOR YEARS YOU KNOW IT WORKS WHEN YOU SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER.

ť !
ť READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!
ť I found this on a bulletin board like
ť this one and decided to try it.
ť A little while back, I was browsing
ť through a newsgroup, just like you are now,
ť and came across an article similar to this
ť that said you could make thousands of
ť dollars within weeks with only an initial
ť investment of $6.00! So I thought,
ť "Yeah right, this must be a scam",
ť but like most of us, I was curious, so I
ť kept reading.Ive been seeing this same promise of wealth for the last 15 years and it never changes. Why do so many people do this? Because it really does work. Sure it becomes time consuming counting and stacking one dollar bills and bank tellers want to run when they see you coming. You might want to set up accounts in 5 or 6 different banks and rotate deposits. Managing your growing wealth can be a real challenge,you will soon find that out for yourself.
ť Anyway, it said that you need to send
ť $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address
ť stated in the article. You then place your
ť own name and address in the bottom of the
ť list at #6, and post the article in at least
ť 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No
ť catch, that was it. So after thinking it
ť over, and talking to a few people first, I
ť thought about trying it. I figured
ť "what have I got to lose except 6
ť stamps and $6.00, right?"
ť Then I invested the measly $6.00 (I use
ť the word "measly" because $6
ť really is measly compared to the money I
ť have made through the initial investment).
ť Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I
ť started getting money in the mail! I was
ť shocked! I figured it would end soon, but
ť the money just kept coming in.
ť In my first week, I made about $25.00. By
ť the end of the second week I had made a
ť total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I
ť had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing.
ť This is now my fourth week and I have
ť made just over $42,000.00 and it's still
ť coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth
ť $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than
ť that on the lottery!!
ť Let me tell you how this works and most
ť importantly, why it works.... Also, make
ť sure you print a copy of this article NOW,
ť so you can get the information off of it as
ť you need it.
ť I promise you that if you follow the
ť directions exactly, that you will start
ť making more money than you thought possible
ť by doing something so easy!
ť Suggestion:
ť Read this entire message carefully!
ť (print it out or download it.)
ť Follow the simple directions and watch
ť the money come in! It's easy. It's legal.
ť And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
ť postage)
ť IMPORTANT:
ť This is not a rip-off; it is not
ť indecent; it is not illegal; and it is
ť virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If
ť all of the following instructions are
ť adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
ť dividends.
ť PLEASE NOTE:
ť Please follow these directions EXACTLY,
ť and $5.00 or more can be yours in 20 to 60
ť days.

(Provided the postal inspectors haven't already shut you down by then.)

ť This program remains ILLEGAL... The 6 scammers listed below are either originators or victims who decided to continue the illegal scam. NOTE: Carl Patrick, the poster isn't in the list. Do you suppose he really listed himself last? Some will put themselves 2 and 3 using different names and addresses in order to collect all the dollar bills they can before the chains fail.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        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.

        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!!).
