Re: Proven Illegal..Turn $6 into FIVE YEARS IN PRISON



  You gotta be dumb...
    To fall for a scam like this.
      What a stupid fool.

---------------------
  Not only have I reported this spammer to her ISP, but I have also 
faxed copies of this posting to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service 
(USPIS) office having jurisdiction over her address, as well as the 
USPIS offices having jurisdiction over the other four U.S. addresses in 
this letter.

  It is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, under U.S. 
federal Law, to participate in this scam.  And unlike most other federal 
agencies, the USPIS actually does deal with small-scale crimes such as 
this that occur under its jurisdiction.

  I have a page at this url...

      http://www.impulse.net/~thebob/Pyramid.html

  ...wherein I try to explain the mathematical and legal realities of 
scams such as this one.

  There was some intersting quote that I came across, and do not now 
clearly remember.  The general idea was that if you were going to commit 
a federal crime, that it is a bad idea to commit a crime which involves 
putting your name and address on something and sending it to large 
numbers of strangers who are likely to be sufficiently annoyed by it to 
turn you in.

I hate spam, but that isn't really part of my email
address.  Remove the string "HatesSpam" from this email
address before you use it:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ever wonder what it'd be like to be a blood-sucking parasite?
