My second MSTing of a spammer. I wish they would stop spamming our good board. ----- >HEY PEOPLE JUST READ AND TRY THIS IT REALLY >WORKS!!!!! Mercy: I got a feeling this guy is a zany computer scientist. Steve: What makes you think that? Mercy: He advertises the use of the "Caps Lock" key. >THIS REALLY WORKS, SEE HOW THIS TEACHER >MADE XTRA BUCKS IN WEEKS!!! Steve: HEAR HOW LOUD THIS TEACHER SHOUTS!!! Flora: SMELL HOW THIS DEAL STINKS!!! > SIMPLE AND IT'S >LEGAL!!!!!!! Steve: We heard that one before > I found this on a bulletin board and >decided Steve: (Look) I was just as stupid as this scam. > to try it a little while back, I was >browsing through news groups just as you are >right now Steve: Hold it, hold it. One moment Look has it's own story and now he follows in HAIRBALL0420's footsteps? Flora: Hey, it could have been worse. Fat Cat could have stopped with his criminal carreer. Steve: That's scary Flora, don't say something like that again. > and came across a article similar to >this saying that you could make thousands of >dollars within weeks with only an initial >investment of $6.00!! Mercy: The price you pay in the long term however will demorilaze your conscience. > So, I thought yeah right. >This must be a scam, but like most of us, I was >curious, so I kept reading. Flora: You dare accuse us of being lowly lifeforms with little or no intelligence? Mercy: He lies! He just can't take it we're smarter so he spreads nasty lies to confuse people. > Anyway, it said that >you send one dollar to each of the six names and >addresses stated in the article. Mercy: The'll say "thank you very much" before turning their back toward you and murmur something like "idiot". > You then delete >the first address and change the numbers. ( 2 >becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc.) place your own name >and address on the bottom of the list at number 6 >and post the article to at least 200 news >groups. Steve: Mind if I don't? > (there are thousands) No catch that was >it. Flora: Okay, let me get this straight. You send some people on a list money, people you don't know at all, spend six dollar plus postage and that's all? Doesn't sound profitable to me, more like a waste of money. > Therefore, after talking to a few people and >thinking it over Steve: Hey look gals, HE REALLY THINKS!!! Mercy: Nah, he's just lying again. > I decided to try it. What do I >have to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Mercy: Your good reputation, if you ever had one. >Then I invested the measly six dollars. WELL >GUESS WHAT!!! Flora: You now live in a three by six cell? Mercy: You now have difficulties getting a life insurance? Steve: There is a nice doctor that visits you every week or so and talks about your "condition"? > Within 7 days, I started getting >money in the mail!!! Steve: Rat Capone gets money in the mail too from the one he protects. Hey... > I was shocked. Flora: Poor Zipper gets shocked sometimes too. What do you two say, shall we have a more interesting discussion about Zipper? > I thought it >was going to stop but it just kept coming. Steve: (Look) And I'm despetate for a way to end the flow of envelopes with money. Flora: What I wouldn't give for money in the mail. And this guys even hates it! > In my >first week, I made $25.00. Flora: Where do you work? A bank, a hospital, a local Thiefes Guild? > By the end of the >second week, I had $900.00. Steve: (Rogue) We sure got a good hual today Look, we should rob the museum more often. Mercy: I'm surprised Mr. Look could even pull that off. > In the end of the >third week, I made $5,000.00!!! Steve: Ah, the benefits of running a legal business... > It's still >growing right now. Flora: Sure, your money's growing. Look hon, our one dollar bill has twins! > This is now my fourth week and >I have made a total of just over $38,000.00! Mercy: Once you reach the top, you can only fall off. Flora: Your point? Mercy: Some burlar will visit him sooner or later and take his ill-gotten profits. >Moreover, it's still coming in rapidly. This is >certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps. Steve: We'll decide over that for ourselves, you won't get a say in that with your low IQ. > I have spent >more than that on the lottery!! Steve: (Shakes head) And now he gambles too. Where is this world going? > Let me tell you >how this works nd most importantly why it >works... Flora: And then there was silence. > Also make sure that you print a copy of >this article NOW so you can get the information >off of it as you need it. Steve: We don't need this kind of information, right ladies? Flora: No, we don't. Mercy: Same here. > I promise you that if >you follow the directions exactly, that you will >start making more money than you possibly thought >just by doing something so easy!! Steve: This sounds to easy, there must be a viper under the grass. Flora: More like a Boa Constrictor. > SUGGESTION: Mercy: (Smuggler) Purses? Steve: Purses? I'm no wimp! Mercy: (Smuggler) got a tip at the docks. Crocodile leather purses, worth a fortune! >READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY (Print it >out or down load it) Flora: But that would be a waste of paper and/or hard disc space! Steve: Don't worry about space, this is nothing compared to Windows. > Follow the simple directions >and watch the money come in! Mercy: (Bill) Hello, I followed the directions. Can I come in so I can go now? > It's easy. It's >legal. And your investment is only $6.00(plus >postage) Steve: Yes, but don't forget the tiny letters at the end that state you will have to exchange this for your soul. > IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off; Mercy: Proof? > it is >not indecent; it isn't illegal; and it is >virtually no risk - it really works!!!!! Flora: I can immagine that the cops don't want to meddle in the affairs of the Devil. > If all >of the following instructions are adhered to, you >will receive extraordinary dividends. Steve: In return for a "favor" in the future. > PLEASE >NOTE: please follow these directions exactly and >$1,000's or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. Mercy: I earn more than that in a days work. >This program remains successful because of the >honesty and integrity of the participants. Flora: Now he's lying again! Are all humans like that? > Please >continue its success by carefully adhering to the >instructions. You will now become a part of the >mail order business. Steve: Not that you want to, you signed up for deception and fraud. > In this business, your >product is not solid and tangible, it's Flora: Emotianal pain. Mercy: (darkly) Sometimes pain can do a lot of good. > a >service. You are in the business of developing a >mailing list. Steve: What? You don't get to decieve people and break their trust? Mercy: What do you think THIS is? > Many large corporations are happy >to pay big bucks for quality list. Steve: That's why they ignore this scam. > However, the >money made from the mailing list is secondary to >the income, which is made from people like you >and me asking to be included to that list. Flora: Then what's the Primary income? Steve: Come on dear, haven't you figured it out yet? Think! Flora: (counting of her fingers) People are Tertiary, Corporations are Secondary...No, I don't know. Steve: Don't forget; this is nothing but a big fat lie. > Here >are the four steps to success: Mercy: Left, right, left, right, left, right. There you have it, success! > STEP 1: Get 6 >separate pieces of paper write the following on >each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR >MAILING LIST." Now get 6 us 1dollar bills Flora: (confused) You are six persons who are the US, worth one dollar with Clinton's face on it? Steve: No, he asking us friendly like to eighty-six him. Mercy: Nah, that's not it. This guy is a stack of six one dollar bills. I saw him first! > and >place ONE inside EACH of the six pieces of paper >so the bill will not be seen through the envelope >to prevent thievery. Mercy: (Look) I mean from thievery from another deception and fraud company. > Next, place one paper in >each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. MAKE SURE >THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. Steve: And now they are stamp collectors? > 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. Flora: They got you name, your adress, your money, your fingerprints. All they need to hunt you down and exterminate you. Steve: Sorry Look, I had it all wrong. Apparently you hate incredibly dumb people too who fall for scams. I wish you luck in killing the fools. > What you are doing >is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mercy: (sarcastic) Sure, and seducing men is legal too. Steve: (sarcastic) And robbing a bank was legal too. Flora: And..And stealing coockies is legal too. >You are requesting a legitimate service and you Steve: Will get an illegal one. >are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a >little skeptical and a little worried about the >legal aspects of it all. Steve: At least you're not alone on that one. > So, I checked it out >with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and >they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!!! Mercy: Exuse me, you should have read the contents of the US law, not ask people at your local post office. > Mail >the six envelopes to the following addresses: Steve: And what are you offering me in return? Mercy: Mr. Look won't offer you anything. But the cops will gladly offer you a cell in a nearby prison facility. >#1) John Hernandez 1600 Maiden Lane Richmond Tx. >77469 >#2) Matt Schumacher P.O.Box 936 Ogden KS. 66517 >#3) TRB 14135 Armant Place Dr. Cypress Tx. 77429 >#4) Chuks Orji, Samuel Opara 8304 S.

STEP 3: Change anything >you need to but try to keep this article as >original as possible. Steve: Hey gals, how about we mess up this article and post it to newsgroups to scare of customers? > Now post your amended >article to at least 200 news groups. Flora: Where it will be flamed, MSTed and deleted after everyone had his fun. > ( I think >there are 24,000 groups) Steve: I think that you don't think. Flora: I think you're right. Mercy: I think so too. > All you need is 200, but >remember, the more you post , the more money you >make! ** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS >BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR >ENVELOPES!!!!** Flora: Sure, because stamps are the essense of life. At least when you're a fanatical stamp collector. > This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to title 18 sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Steve: Okay, I concentrated on the title for eighteen seconds but I still don't get postal lottery law number 1341. Flora: Remember, it's just a lie. > Keep a copy of >these steps for your self and whenever you need >money, you can use it again and again. Mercy: And fail again, and again. > PLEASE >REMEMBER that this program remains successful >because of the honesty and integrity of the >participants and by carefully adhering to the >directions. Flora: (Look) If you are not honest on integrate, we'll be looking for you... > 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. Flora: (sarcastic) Sure, they'll send it to you with a teleportation spell. Idiots... > NOTE: You may want to retain every name >and address sent to you, Steve: What names? > on either a computer or >a hard copy and keep the notes people sent you. >This verifies that you are truly providing a >service. Flora: A stalking service I presume? > (Remember to wrap the $1 bill in the >note to prevent mail theft.) Steve: Sure, just tell me how to prevent my money from spam 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. Mercy: (counting) That's one dollar six times that's....That's six to many!!! > Your name will move up the list >geometrically Flora: I'm sure Gadget could find a nice comment on this one. > so that when your name reaches the >#1 spot you will be receiving thousands of >dollars in CASH!!!!! Mercy: Cash in cash? Sounds stupid, but this entire service is stupid anyway. So what is the transport medium? > What an opportunity for only >$6.00 ($1 for each of the six people listed >above) Send it now, add your own name to the list >and you're in business! Steve: Illegal business, but business anyway. > DIRECTIONS: HOW TO POST >TO NEWS GROUPS STEP 1: Flora: We know how to post to newsgroups! Sheesj, what do you think we are, stupid? > You do not need to retype >this entire letter to do your own posting. Mercy: We wouldn't have done it anyway. > Simply >put your cursor at the beginning of this letter >and drag your cursor to the bottom of this >document, Flora: There is an end to this? Steve: Mr. Look, please don't get my girlfriends hopes up. > and select "copy" from the edit menu. >This will copy the entire letter into the >computer's memory. Mercy: Hopefully the computer is sentient and knocks some sense into you. Steve: Believe me, even a computer is more sentient than the weirdo that actually believes this crud. > STEP 2: Open a blank notepad >file and place your cursor at the top of the >blank page. Flora: Please don't waste the blanc page by right clicking and selecting "paste". > From the edit menu, select "paste." Flora: Don't say I didn't warn you. >This will paste the copy of the letter into >notepad so you can add your name to the list. Steve: Thereby confirming that you are irredemebly stupid. >STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a .txt >file. Mercy: Your computer won't allow you too. > If you want to do your postings in >different settings, you'll always have this file >to come back to. STEP 4: Use Netscape and >Internet Explorer and try searching for various >news groups (on-line forums, message boards, >chat sites,discussions.) Steve: Why not search for burried treasure? Better chance that will make you rich. > STEP 5: Visit these >message boards Flora: (Look) Even if it's regulars hate spammers. > and post this article as a new >message by highlighting the text of this letter >and selecting "paste" from the edit menu. Steve: There, you defiled something that was sacred. > Fill in >the subject, this will be the header that >everyone sees as they scroll through the list of >postings Mercy: Wondering all the time why it had to be them... > in a particular group, click the post >message button. You're done with the first one! >CONGRATULATIONS,...THAT'S IT! Flora: Please, tell me it is. I'm tired of your rant. > All you have to do >is jump to different news groups and post away, >after you get the hang of it, it will take 30 >seconds for each news group! **REMEMBER, THE MORE >NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN (MESSAGE BOARDS ETC.) THE >MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A >MINIMUM OF 200. Steve: These guys set high demands. > That's it! You will begin >receiving money from around the world within >days! Mercy: Bribes, to keep you from posting again. > You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box >due to the large amount of mail you will receive. >If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a >name to use as long as the postman will deliver >it. Mercy: Do you know a postman that wants to be involved in something like this? > **JUST MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT** Steve: Yeah, it would be quite unfair to put your neighbours life in jeopardy just because you are so incredibly stupid. > Let >me break it down, Flora: Break down then, motor head. > say I receive only 5 replies, >so then I made $5 with my name at #6 on the >letter. Now each of the 5 persons who just sent >me $1 made the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my >name at #5 and only 5 people respond to the >original 5 people. That is another $25 for me. >Now those 25 people make the MINIMUM 200 post >with my name at number 4 and only 5 replies each, >I will make $125. Now, those 125 people post the >MINIMUM 200 postings with my name at #3 and only >get 5 replies each, I will make an additional >$626! OK, now here's the fun part each of those >625 people post a MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 >and they only get 5 replies that just made me >$3,125!!! Those 3125 people send a MINIMUM 200 >postings and they only get 5 replies each with my >name at #1, I will receive $15,625!!! With an >original investment of $6!!!! AMAZING!!!! Steve: It's amazing Jim! Mercy: I hate TV commercials. > . When >your name is no longer on the list, you just take >the latest postings in the news groups and send >out another $6 to names on the list putting >yourself at #6 and start posting again. Flora: Causing another disaster. > Thousands >of people are joining the internet each day and >they are reading articles like these just Steve: To make a good MSTing. > as you >are right now. So this can never be played out Flora: There, he admitted this method has a few screws lose. >just keep it going and you can make tons of money >too!!!! Mercy: Money, What money? > Please try it now and make big bucks in a >few short weeks!!!!!! What do you have to lose? Steve: My reputation. Flora: My fame Mercy: My chances of success with men.
