Make Money Fast Pyramid
July 2000
This particular scheme attempts to make the pyramid scheme legal by
claiming to be selling a service. However, it is still an illegal
pyramid scheme.
This pyramid has the distinction of being the target of the Make Money
Fast Hoax Warning that claims it is a virus and will destroy your
system.
Hello! I've got some awesome news that I think you need to take two
minutes to read if you have ever thought "How could I make some serious
cash in a hurry???" , or been in serious debt, ready to do almost
anything to get the money needed to pay off those bill collectors. So
grab a snack, a warm cup of coffee, or a glass of your favorite
beverage, get comfortable and listen to this interesting, exciting find!
Let me start by saying that I FINALLY FOUND IT! That's right!. found it!
And I HATE GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES!! I hate those schemes like
multi-level marketing, mail-order schemes, envelope stuffing scams, 900
number scams... the list goes on forever. I have tried every darn get
rich quick scheme out there over the past 12 years. I somehow got on
mailing lists for people looking to make money (more like 'desperate
stupid people who will try anything for money!'). Well, when I was a
teenager, these claims to 'get me rich quick' sounded irresistible! I
would shell out $14.95 here, $29.95 there, $24.95 here, and another
$49.95 there. I had maxed out my new Circuit City Card AND my Visa...I
was desperate for money!! So, I gave them all a chance but failed at
every one of them! Maybe they worked for some people, but not for me.
Eventually, I just tossed that JUNK MAIL in the trash when I got the
mail. I recognized it right away. I can smell a money scam from a mile
away these days, SO I THOUGHT.... I thought I could sniff out a scam
easily. WAS I WRONG!! ....I LOVE THE INTERNET!!! I was scanning thru a
NEWSGROUP and saw an article stating to GET CASH FAST!! I
thought..."Here on the Internet?? Well, I'll just have to see what
schemes could possibly be on the internet." The article described a way
to MAIL A ONE DOLLAR BILL TO ONLY FIVE PEOPLE AND MAKE $50, 0000 IN CASH
WITHIN 4 WEEKS! Well, the more I thought about it, the more I became
very curious. Why? Because of the way it worked AND BECAUSE IT WOULD
ONLY COST ME FIVE DOLLARS (AND FIVE STAMPS), THAT'S ALL I EVER
PAY....EVER!! Ok, so the $50,000 in cash was maybe an tough amount to
reach, but it was possible. I knew that I could at least get a return
of $1,000 or so. So I did it!! As per the instructions in the article,
I mailed out ('snail mail'for you e-mail fanatics) a single dollar bill
to each of the five people on the list that was contained in the
article. I included a small note, with the dollar, that stated "Please
Add Me To Your List." I then removed the first position name of the five
names listed and moved everyone up one position, and I put my name in
position five of the list. This is how the money starts rolling in! I
then took this revised article now with my name on the list and REPOSTED
IT ON AS MANY NEWSGROUPS AND LOCAL BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE AREAS THAT I
KNEW. I then waited to watch the money come in...prepared to maybe
receive about $1000 to $1500 in cash or so.... But what a welcome
surprise when those envelopes kept coming in!!! I knew what they were
as soon as I saw the return addresses from people all over the
world-Most from the U.S., but some from Canada, even some from
Australia! I tell you, THAT WAS EXCITING!! So how much did I get in
total return? $1000? $5000? Not even!!! I received a total of
$23,343!!! I couldn't believe it!! Let's review the reasons why you
should do this: The only cost factors are for the five stamps, the 5
envelopes and the 5 one dollar bills that you send out to the listed
names by snail mail (US Postal Service Mail). Then just simply repost
the article (WITH YOUR NAME ADDED) to all the newsgroups and local BBS's
you can. Then sit back and, (ironically), enjoy walking (you can run if
you like! :o ) down your driveway to your mailbox and scoop up your
rewards!! We all have five dollars to put into such an easy effortless
investment with SPECTACULAR REALISTIC RETURNS OF $15,000 to $25,000 in
about 3-5 weeks! So HOLD OFF ON THOSE LOTTERY NUMBERS FOR TODAY,EAT AT
HOME TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TAKEOUT FROM McDONALDS AND INVEST FIVE DOLLARS
IN THIS AMAZING MONEY MAKING SYSTEM NOW!!! YOU CAN'T LOSE!! So how do
you do it exactly, you ask? I have carefully provided the most detailed,
yet straightforward instructions on how to easily get this underway and
get your cash on its way. SO, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME CASH!!!?? HERE
WE GO!!!
*** THE LIST OF NAMES IS AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE. ***
OK, Read this carefully. Get a printout of this information, if you
like, so you can easily refer to it as often as needed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take a sheet of paper and write on it the following: "Please add my
name to your list". This creates a service out of this money making
system and thus making it completely legal. You are not just randomly
sending a dollar to someone, you are paying one dollar for a legitimate
service. Make sure you include your name and address. I assure you that,
again, this is completely legal! For a neat little twist, also write
what slot their name was in: "You were in slot 3", Just to add a little
fun! This is all about having fun and making money at the same time!
2. Now fold this sheet of paper around a dollar bill ,(no checks or
money orders), and put them into an envelope and send it on its way to
the five people listed. The folding of the paper around the bill will
insure its arrival to its recipient. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT!!
3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get YOUR MONEY COMING TO YOUR
MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people; remove the first name from
position one and move everyone on the list up slot one on the list.
Position 2 name will now move to the position 1 slot , position 3 will
now become position 2, 4 will be be 3, 5 wil be 4. Now put your name,
address, zipcode AND COUNTRY in position 5, the bottom position on the
list.
4. Now upload this updated file to as many newsgroups and local bulletin
boards' message areas & file section as possible. Give a catchy
description of the file so it gets noticed!! Such as: "NEED FAST CASH?,
HERE IT IS!" or "NEED CASH TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS??", etc. And the more
uploads, the more money you will make, and of course, the more money the
others on the list will make too. LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY
BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING FORTH 120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE &
AMAZING SYSTEM!!! You'll reap the benefits, believe me!!! Set a goal for
the number of total uploads you'll post, such as 15-20 postings or more!
Always have a goal in mind!!! If you can UUE encode the file when
uploading, that will make it easier for the people to receive it and
have it downloaded to their hard drive. That way they get a copy of the
article right on their computer without hassles of viewing and then
saving the article from the File menu. Don't alter the file type, leave
it as an MS-DOS Text file. The best test is to be able to view this file
using Microsoft's Notepad for Windows 3.x or WordPad for Windows '95. If
the margins look right without making the screen slide left or right
when at the ends of the sentences, you're in business!
5. If you need help uploading, simply ask the sysop of the BBS, or
"POST" a message on a newsgroup asking how to post a file, tell them who
your Internet provider is and PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO HELP. I
would try to describe how to do it but there are simply too many
internet software packages with slightly different yet relatively simple
ways to post or upload a file. Just ask for help or look in the help
section for 'posting'. I do know that for GNN, you simply select 'POST'
then enter a catchy description under the subject box, choose 'ATTACH',
selecting 'UUE' and NOT 'TXT', then choose 'Browse' to go look for the
file. Find your text file CASH.TXT and click on it and choose 'OK'.
Place a one line statement in the main body section of the message post
screen. Something like "Download this to read how to get cash arriving
in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever. Just make sure it
represents its true feasibility, NOT something like..."Get one million
dollars flooding in your mailbox in two days!"
You'll never get ANY responses!
6. And this is the step I like. JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY LIFE BECAUSE
CASH IS ON ITS THE WAY!! Expect to see a little money start to trickle
in around 2 weeks, but AT ABOUT WEEKS 3 & 4, THE MONEY STORM WILL HIT
YOUR MAILBOX!! All you have to do is take it out of the mailbox and try
not to scream too loud (outside anyway) when you realize YOU HIT THE BIG
TIME AT LAST!!
7. So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and then get that something
special you always wanted or buy that special person in your life (or
the one you want in your life) a gift they'll never forget. ENJOY LIFE!
8. Now when you get low on this money supply, simply re-activate this
file again; Reposting it in the old places where you originally posted
and possibly some new places you now know of. Don't ever lose this file,
always keep a copy at your reach for when you ever need cash. THIS IS AN
INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RE-USE TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN CASH
IS NEEDED!
[ Name List Removed ]
*** AGAIN, HONESTY IS THE BEST THING WE HAVE GOING FOR US ON THIS PLAN.
