I've seen this before. This is a SCAM, and it is 100% illegal. If there is no 
product or service being offered or marketed, it MAY be considered mail fraud. 
Be very careful what you do here. THIS IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM 
CONSDIDERED LEGAL ADVICE OR EXPERT CITATION OF LAW, AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS 
SUCH; just be very careful. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC. 

> $$MAKE LOTS OF QUICK CASH THE EASY WAY$$ 
> ========================================== 

> Dear Internet User, 

> Good day, This article I've written is all about the 
> fact where I earned an ASTOUNDING amount of money in 
> less than a month and I've decided to share or reveal 
> the secrets behind making big bucks in the Mail Order 
> Business. 
> So all money seekers, read this carefully. 

> ========================================= 
> **READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!** 

> I found this on a bulletin board like this one and 
> decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing 
> through several newsgroups, just like you are now, and 
> came across an article similar to this that said you 
> could make thousands of dollars within weeks with 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 need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 
> names and address stated in the article. You then 
> place your own name and address in the bottom of the 
> list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 
> newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was 
> it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few 
> people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: 
> "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and 
> $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. 
> Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting 
> money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would 
> end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my 
> first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the 
> second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In 
> the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still 
> growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made 
> 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 most importantly, 
> why it works.... Also, make sure you print a copy of 
> this article NOW, so you can get the information off 
> of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow 
> the directions exactly, that you will start making 
> more money 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's legal. 
> 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 adhered to, you will receive extraordinary 
> dividends. 

> PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, 
> and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. 
> This program remains successful because of the honesty 
> and integrity of the participants. Please continue 
> it?s success by carefully adhering to the 
> instructions. You will 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 pay big bucks for quality 
> lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists 
> is secondary to the income which is made from people 
> like you and me asking to be included in that list. 
> ========================================== 
> -->HERE ARE 4 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTED<-- 

> STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the 
> following on 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 of paper so 
> the bill will not be seen through the envelope ( 
> Please make sure that the bill wouldn't be noticed in 
> the envelope to prevent thievery). Send out US $ 
> DOLLAR, so it would be more acceptable. 

> STEP 2: Next, place one paper in each of the 6 
> envelopes and seal them properly. You should now have 
> 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating 
> the phrase, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING 
> LIST.", your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. 

> What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS 
> ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting for a legitimate 
> service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I 
> was a little skeptical and a little worried 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 US$6.00 to the following addresses: 

> 1) Bob R. 

> 11 Phillips Lane 

> Lake Groove, NY 11755-2623 

> 2) Almeric Battiste 

> P.O. Box 450035 

> Kissimmee, Florida USA 34745 

> 3) Phonexay Khounvongsa 

> 5003 Lakecrest Dr. 

> Shawnee, KS, USA 66218 

> 4) Tamara Ortiz 

> 2471 Newsom Rd. 

> Bellville, TX. USA 77418 

> 5) Love Carter 

> #2 Jericho St., 

> Victoriaville Homes, Antipolo City, 

> Philippines, 1870 

> 6) Shante Harris 

> P O Box 451 

> Crawfordville GA, 30631 

> STEP 3: 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 4: Copy this article. 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 
> 2.4million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, 
> the more you post, the more money you make! This is 
> perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to 
> Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, US Postal and Lottery 
> Laws or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in 
> the code of Federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 
> 255 and 436, which states; "a product or service 
> must be exchanged for money received." The simple 
> note in the letter, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR 
> MAILING LIST", makes it legal because you are 
> paying for exchange of a service, (adding the 
> purchasers name to his mailing list) for a $1.00 fee. 
> IMPORTANT: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself 
> and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, 
> and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains 
> successful because of the honesty and integrity of the 
> participants and by their carefully adhering to the 
> directions. Look at it this way. If you are of 
> integrity, the program will continue and the money 
> that so many others have received will come your way. 

> NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address 
> sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and 
> keep the notes people send you. 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 directions carefully followed, six 
> members will be reimbursed for their participation as 
> a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will 
> move up the list geometrically so that when your name 
> reaches the #1 position you will be receiving 
> thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity 
> for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people 
> listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the 
> list and you're in business! 
> =============================================== 
> -->DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS<-- 

> Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter

> ======================================= 
> *Now the WHY part; Out of 200 postings, say I receive
