    Too good, I know but...
    Hi,

    I've seen the attached scheme since before email was big. It seems even more posible if you incorporate the internet as the attached message suggest. What I'd like to know if it is illegal and if it is then why. I didn't include the personal info of the people participating but you get the gist of it. Please read on and advise.


    ======= PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE========

    ************************************************** ********************

    If you would like to make up to $500,000 or so every 5 to 6 months
    easily and comfortably, please read the following...
    THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!

    ************************************************** ********************


    FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL
    DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    <=========== Order all 5 reports shown on the list below ===========

    For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT
    YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose
    name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN
    ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail
    problems.

    When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports.
    You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer
    and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5=$25.00.

    Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports
    from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they
    will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will
    order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it
    on your desk in case something happens to your computer.

    IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next
    to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than
    what is instructed below in step "1 through 6" or you will lose out
    on majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works,
    you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember,
    this method has been tested, and if you alter, it will NOT work!
    People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five
    thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way.
    Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened...
    So DO NOT try to change anything other than what is instructed, because
    if you do, it will not work for you. Honesty reaps the reward!

    1... After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and
    REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT #5... this person has
    made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune.

    2... Move the name & address in REPORT #4 down TO REPORT #5.

    3... Move the name & address in REPORT #3 down TO REPORT #4.

    4... Move the name & address in REPORT #2 down TO REPORT #3.

    5... Move the name & address in REPORT #1 down TO REPORT #2

    6... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT #1 Position.

    PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY!

    ================================================== ==============
    **** Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save
    it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk
    as well just in case you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your
    business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with
    invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails
    legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more.
    There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going:

    METHOD # 1:
    BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY
    ================================================== ==============
    Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and
    we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each.
    Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the
    response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%; also,
    many people will send out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only
    5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails:
    With a 0.2% response - that is only 10 orders for Report #1 - those 10
    people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000.
    Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That =100
    people responded and ordered Report #2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000
    e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that
    is 1000 orders for Report #3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails
    each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that
    is 10,000 orders for Report! #4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails
    each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails. The 0.2% response to
    that is 100,000 orders for Report #5, and THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5
    EACH=$500,000.00 (half a million dollars).
    Your total income in this example is: 1... $50 + 2... $500+ 3... $5,000 +
    4..
    $50,000 + 5... $500,000... GRAND TOTAL=$555,550.00

    Up to $500,000--means nothing.

    It LOOKS like a combo pyramid and chain letter. Could be
    If so, both are felonies
