 +Hyena07/01/2004 05:18:37PM | Ha ha. I smell a website update. I'm going to have to add this to my CRAP section.
Don't you just love it when you get an e-mail in your inbox folder and the subject is something like "Re: The information you asked about" in a pathetic attempt at making it look like it in response to something you wrote? Or how about those e-mails where they act like they meant to send it to someone else but it reached you by accident, accidentally sharing great information and underground deals that can save your money or allow you to spy on your friends, or get mp3s of all your favourite music on burnable CDs? So, really, is it any wonder that when such e-mails are headed with "This seems like a hoax but believe me IT REALLY WORKS" they still don't motivate anyone to do anything? The plus side to this is that the person who posted this message created an account with their e-mail address on it. For most of you, that means nothing. For me, that means fun. By show of hands, who would like to see me plaster this address with stupid contests and opportunities? So let it be written, so shall it be e-mailed. |

Hey kiwi, don't insult people at the bottom of wells. Once my friend was stuck in the bottom of a well, but he sent 6 people one dollar each and became a millionare. But it didn't change the fact that he was trapped in a well, so he died of malnutrition. True story. |
| Nylar 07/01/2004 06:46:22AM | I like reading these, it makes me wonder if anyone ever falls for them. It's also fun to see when they actually tell you what the scam is. I once found one that on my 1024x7-something, the scroll bar was about the size of this H. I came to halfway before they even got to the scam. And in the previous 30 paragraphs all they had managed to say was "NO RISK MONEY!!! I did this and spooged in my pants at the results!" It was sad that they wrote that much but even sadder that I read that much.. |
| +Chaos 07/01/2004 06:03:47AM | First my inbox, and now my message board? Egads, the spambots have become self-aware! Skynet! SKYNET! |
| Doc Funky 07/01/2004 02:32:22AM | Oh man..I remember these.
If memory serves me right...way back when I used to post on the Perfect Dark message board on AOL, we used to get about two a day, give or take. Ah...those were the days. EDIT: Grr, capitalization. |
 @kiwibonga07/01/2004 01:47:03AM | Ah... It was a wonderful summer of... 1997, when I received this in my AOL mailbox, at a time where I got more forwards and chain email scams than actual spam. The text hasn't changed a bit since the first time I received it.
I was 13 or so... And with my small brain I had figured out that if you don't make the money from outside sources, nobody fucking makes any money without losing some. Something that always made me laugh: (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) It's common knowledge that mailmen spend the first half of the day holding envelopes next to a source of light to see if there are $1 bills in it => Mailing cash is against the law in most civilized countries. That includes the US and Canada, I believe. Besides, this board is so unpopulated, he would have reached more people throwing that letter to the bottom of a well! ha ha. |
| vtcpa05 07/01/2004 01:00:53AM | HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! 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 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 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! 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 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting 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 US. Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1) Lorraine Hutchinson P O Box 23951 London, England E12 5YP #2) Andres Muguira 11021 NE 123RD APT= C-105 Kirkland, WA 98034 #3) Joseph Fiorentino PO Box 1189 Groton, MA 01450 #4) Sharon Goodman 262 PR 1219 Stephenville, TX 76401 #5) Tonya L. Ford-Ziada P.O. Box 2121 Haddonfield, NJ 08033 #6) Tarik Habayeb P.O. Box 10864 Blacksburg, VA 24062 STEP 2: 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 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 news groups. (I think there are close to 24,000 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 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you either on a computer or hard copy. Also, keep the notes people send you because they VERIFY 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.) Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. |
