SAFER THAN MAIL $$ THIS SYSTEM TRULY WORKS $$

I'm sure you've read these letters asking you to send $1 to 6
different addresses. Putting your home address on the internet can be
risky, but through paypal all you have to provide is your email
address. It's safe and easy just go to www.paypal.com and set up your
account!!!! I am not a gullible person and have never trusted things
like this, but I gave it a try, hey its only $6, I figured at least 6
people would respond out of the millions of people that use the
internet. You should give it a try too! You have nothing to lose, and
thousands to gain! Read on for the letter that I found ... $$$ HOW TO
TURN $6 INTO $6,000+!!! THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT
WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! $$$

A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroup, just like you
are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could
make thousands 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. Then I heard about a little
segment on the OPRAH WINFREY show and an article published in the Wall
Street Journal, here is some of it!! Everyone has heard about "PayPal"
(if you haven't you will soon) and, when I came across this concept I
knew it would work because, as a member of PayPal, I had already
experienced their efficiency and excellent standing. PayPal is the
simplest method of making and receiving payments online anyone has ever
seen! Anyone with an email address can join, for FREE! Please read
further before you go there. You can complete this whole process in
less than one hour and you will never forget the day you decided to do
so. Oh! Did I say FAST? By fast I mean the speed of the Internet-type
fast. Everything is done on the Internet by E-mail; and, if you abide
by the rules, it is NOT considered SPAM, so it's perfectly legal!

Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 though paypal to each of the emails
stated in the article. You then place your own email address in the
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 news
groups. (There are thousands) No catch that was it. So after thinking
it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured what have I got to lose except $6.00, right? Like most of us I
was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of
it. It follows the same regulations as the "mailed chain letters, which
according to the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is indeed legal!
Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!? Within 7 days, I
started getting money in my paypal account! I was shocked! I figured it
would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I
made about $20.00. By the end second week I had made a total over
$1,200.00!!! 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 a total of just
over $36,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's Certainly worth
$6.00. 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.

$$$ REQUIREMENTS: You must have a verified paypal account. If you do
not have an account you can go to www.paypal.com and follow the
instructions to set up a free account. In order to place the initial $6
into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with
paypal (which may take a few days). Paypal is 100% secure and is used
by millions of people world wide.

STEP 1: Send, through paypal, $1.00 to each email on the below list.
Make the subject of the payment "Email List" and in the comments, write
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST." What you are doing is creating a
service by this and best of all you are not giving your address to
anyone you do not know ... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! The email list:

#1) ···········@excite.com
#2) ·······@aol.com
#3) ·········@aol.com
#4) ·········@yahoo.co.uk
#5) ···········@aol.com
#6) ·················@email.com

STEP 2: Now take the #1 email off the list that you see above, move the
other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc) and add YOUR email
address (the one used on the paypal account) 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, message board. (I think there are close to 32,000
groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more
money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!

$$ DIRECTIONS $$ HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS + MESSAGE BOARDS $$

Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
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
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.

Steps #3) save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different sittings, 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, bulletin boards,
chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc.
For example: you log on to any search engine like yahoo.com,
google.com, altavista.com, excite.com then you search with subject like
?millionaire message board? or ? money making message board? or
?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money
making forum? or ?business message board? etc. You will find thousands
& thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find
the option to post a new message.

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 thru 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!

$$$$ REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN,
THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! $$$$

$$$ JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON
PAYPAL. $$$

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 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 investment
of only $6.00! AMAZING!! $$$$

$$$$ When your name is no longer on the list, you just take latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 6 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 everyday,
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6?? 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 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 joining the actual Internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. Seriously, most
people think this is a scam, but you actually do get thousands of
dollars out of it, it is NOT another crazy stupid scam, if people
follow through with sending out $6, it works!!!!!

$$$$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON'T PASS THIS UP! $$$$$

Look at what PayPal had to say about it! (or ask them for yourself)
