Subject: [iris-talk] READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE
> : READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a
> bulletinboard and decided to try it. A little while back, I was
> browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and came across an
> article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars
> within weekswith only an initial investment of $6.00! So I
> thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us,I was
> curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to
> each of the 6 names andaddress stated in the article. You then place
> your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, andpost
> the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No
> catch, that was it. So afterthinking it over, and talking to a few
> people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I
> gotto lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the
> measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!! Within 7 days, Istarted getting money
> in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the
> money just keptcoming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By
> the end of the second week I had made a total ofover $1,000.00! In
> the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is
> now my fourth weekand I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and
> it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth$6.00, and 6
> stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you
> how this works and mostimportantly, why it works. Also, make sure you
> print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information
> offof it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the
> directions exactly, that you will start making moremoney than you
> thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this
> entire message carefully!(Print it out or download it.) Follow the
> simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It'slegal.
> And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is
> not a rip-off; it is not indecent;it is not illegal; and it is
> virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following
> instructions are adheredto, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
> PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000
> ormore can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
> because of the honesty andintegrity of the participants. Please
> continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
> Youwill now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
> your product is not solid and tangible,it's a service. You are in the
> business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
> happy to paybig bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from
> the mailing lists is secondary to the income which ismade from people
> like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4
> easy steps tosuccess: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and
> write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUTME ON YOUR
> MAILING LIST!" Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of
> the 6 pieces ofpaper so the bill will not be seen through the
> envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper ineach of the 6
> envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each
> with a piece of paperstating the above phrase, your name and address,
> and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating aservice. THIS IS
> ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
> paying for it! Likemost of us I was a little skeptical and a little
> worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it outwith
> 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)
> Roger Yurek 1015 N. Walnut St. Lansing Mi. 48906 #2)ROBERTFARLAM 10
> BROKE FARM DRIVE ORPINGTON KENT ENGLAND BR6 7SH. #3)Tony Nason 7847 s
> EmeraldChicago, IL. 60620. #4) Revaz Katcharava,3542 cloudland dr ,
> stone mountain,georgia, atlanta30083. #5)Jimmy Tu 421 Elmira st. San
> Francisco, CA 94124. #6) Ben Mock, 801 Latimer St. Nelson, B.C.
> V1L4V6, Canada: STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you
> see above, movethe 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 article as close to original as
> possible. Now,post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups.
> (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you needis 200, but
> remember, the more that you post, the more money you make! This is
> perfectly legal! If youhave any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 &
> 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these stepsfor
> yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and
> again. PLEASE REMEMBER that thisprogram remains successful because of
> the honesty and integrity of the participants and by theircarefully
> adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you are a person
> of integrity, the programwill continue and the money that so many
> others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to
> retainevery name and address sent to you, either on a computer or
> hard copy and keep the notes people sendyou. This VERIFIES that you
> are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap
> the$1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as
> each post is downloaded and the directionscarefully followed, six
> members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
> Developer with onedollar each. Your name will move up the list
> geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you
