> >
> >   -Your 50 new agents make 200 postings each with your name at

> >   They make  200 postings  each with  your name  at #2=100,000
> >   postings=5000 return at $1 each=$5000.
> >
> >   -Finally, 5,000 people  make 200 postings with  your name at
> >   #1 and  you get a return  of $50,000 before your  name drops
> >   off the list. AND THATS IF  EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE MAKES 200

> >
> >   From time to  time, when you see your name  no longer on the
> >   list,  you  take the  latest  posting  that appears  in  the
> >   newsgroups, and  send out another $5,  and put your  name at
> >   #5, and start posting again. Remember,  200 postings is only

> >
> >   Lets review why you should do this. THE ONLY COST IS $5, AND

> >   Some people have said to me,  "what happens if the scheme is

> >
> >   There are  millions of Internet  users, and millions  of new
