attached file that was kindly donated to us. Thank you for
using PayPal!” This Really Works Keep in mind that everything stated below is 100% legal as stated by the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161).
Now honestly,what is six Dollars, especially out of a Paypal account. In exchange
you will make thousands in the first few months. You then place your own name and email address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands of
newsgroups)
I sent out my measly $6.00 to the six people on the list. Within 7 days, I started: getting $$$$$ in my account!
I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the CASH 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 $15,060.00 and it’s still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $26,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00
and 6 minutes to send it out. This program WORKS. Put in message boards or send as emails.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list using Paypal, and
in the comment (Subject) section type “Please add me to your list”.
Below are the emails that you transfer the money into:
Paypal accounts to send 1 Dollar to:
The Email List:
1 nik_koracek@tpg.com.au
2 starlighttrt@aol.com
3 calibaygurl@yahoo.com
4 pikamitsu@gmail.com
5 ham15@hotmail.co.uk
6 gerrard_and_torres@hotmail.com
After sending the money to the first 6 people on the list, you can
remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the
names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc?) Then place
your name in the #6 position. Then save it.
3. When you have completed the instructions, take this letter and then
go to (Google, Yahoo,…)
and type in (Making Money Message board, Money Message Board, Money
Forum, Free money Forum, or anything along those lines that are forums)
and start posting your copy of this message at least 200 times, to as
many unique message boards as you can, or more. The more times you post
this at a unique board, the more money you will make.
Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time.
Remember, play
FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work.
4. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity
of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering
to the instructions.
5.This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to 18 Sec.
1302 & 1241 of the Postal Lottery laws.
The answer is NO.
Its called a pyramid and NO you will never see your money again ………so don’t do it ………It is an old fashion scam
obvisouly!
I’ll tell you how to find out. Why don’t you e-mail the person whose name has made it all the way to the top of the list and ask them to tell you how much they’ve made so far?
(I *guarantee* that, if they answer you at all, they’ll say “zero”.)
this is a classic scheme. its been around forever in the mail. the key phrase is “play fairly and honestly”. People don’t do that. they move their names up higher, thinking they will get more money or money faster. This is not true, as the optimal place to be would be as low as possible if people really would follow it, so the pyramid of names would draw more players in before your name moved to the top.
This doesn’t work, because it falls apart too fast. The only people that profit are the ones that start it, and they only get a typical scammer’s return on investment for using a good sucker list or a very cheap distribution method, or ideally, both.
If you haven’t got a good sucker’s list and a way to email a few million people easily, its not really worth your time.
No, but you can get hit with up to a million in FINES and potentially 30 years in Federal prison.

APPEARANCE FOR RESPONDENT:
Stephen J. Sasine, Esq.

Atlanta, GA 30303
INITIAL DECISION
In a complaint filed on February 22, 1978, complainant alleged that respondent is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of false representations and is engaged in conducting a lottery in violation of 39 U.S.C., 3005. Specifically, complainant alleges that respondent invites public attention to such scheme by means of promotional material which invites the recipient to participate in a “Cooperative Advertising Program” upon payment of money to respondent by mail; that in such promotional material respondent expressly or impliedly represents, in substance and effect, (a) that persons who participate in the program are assured a substantial monetary return in a short time for a very small investment (Cplt. Par. III(a)), (b) that the names and addresses listed in such promotional material under the heading “CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION” are unrelated entities and bona fide participants in the program (Cplt. Par. III(b)), and (c) that the program conducted by respondent is legal (Cplt. Par. III(c)).
For respondent’s convenience and on its motion, the location of the hearing was changed from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, GA and the hearing was continued from March 27 to April 12, 1978. At the hearing on that date both parties presented evidence. They have filed proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The matter stands ready for decision.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Respondent Larry Phillips is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails under the names contained in the caption of this proceeding (CX-1 through 4; Stip. Tr. 4).
2. In conducting such scheme respondent uses the promotional material attached to the complaint as Exhibits “A,” “A-1,” “B” and “B-1.”
3. Respondent’s scheme is described in a piece of its promotional literature entitled “The Letter” (CX-2). Among other things, “The Letter” contains a list of four names, numbered 1 through 4. These appear under the heading “CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION.” Each of the four names purports to be that of an individual or firm from each of whom a “unique and valuable one-page report of useful money-making information” and the right to reproduce and sell such report may be obtained for the sum of $2.00. Under the heading “HERE’S HOW THE ENTIRE DEAL WORKS,” “The Letter” outlines four steps for participants to follow which, summarized, are as follows:
a. Order the four reports from the four names listed as advertisers by sending each of them $2.00.
b. Type on a piece of paper your name and address and the names and addresses of the first three “advertisers.” Cut out the four names and addresses and paste your name and address in the No. 1 position, and the other three names in the Nos. 2 through 4 positions, down one position from the one they occupy on “The Letter” as mailed by respondent. This instruction notes that the name originally in the No. 4 position is eliminated in this process but advises participants not to worry because that name was once in the No. 1 position and “has probably received several hundreds of thousands of dollars by now.”
c. Have “The Letter” with the names inserted per the foregoing instruction printed in 500 (or more) copies, making no other alterations because they might “harm its pulling power.”
d. Mail out the 500 (or more) copies of “The Letter” to friends, relatives, smart business people, or to names on lists obtained from mailing list brokers.
Following these instructions, participants are advised that the result of their mailings may be receipt of as much as $813,800 for an initial investment of $165 depending on the percentage of recipients of the 500 letters who elect to participate and the percentage of recipients of their letters who also elect to participate. Potential income is given for each stage of the scheme as the original participants’ names move through the 4 positions on “The Letter.”
4. A fair reading of respondent’s promotional material discloses that it makes representations substantially as alleged in the complaint. I find the representation alleged in paragraph III(a) of the complaint in those parts of CX-1 which read:
“After 17 days we have received $337 (better than a 200% return on our original investment). After 37 days we have been flooded with an incredible $17,000. And it didn’t stop there] We are still receiving the long green from the original letter, in greater and greater quantities.”
* * *
“At the time of this writing, subscriber John Lewis is reported to be now sitting on $737,888 – all gained in less than five months on a single letter which is enclosed with this issue of the Millionaire’s Newsletter.
“Well, our own five-week $17,000+ and John Lewis’ three-quarters-of-a-million dollars in just five months sure don’t say “maybe” — do they?”
This representation is also found in that part of CX-2 which reads:
“You can actually EARN UP TO $813,800 IN THE NEXT 50 DAYS *** for a very low investment.”
5. The representation alleged in paragraph III(b) of the complaint is implicit in the description of the “Co-op Advertising Program” contained in CX-2 and was in effect acknowledged by respondent Phillips in his testimony that he used names other than his own in three of the four “Co-op Advertiser” positions because it conveyed a good impression and appearance and enhanced the profitability of the scheme from his standpoint (Tr. 47, 48).
6. The representation that the scheme is legal is expressly made in CX-1 and CX-2.
7. I find that all of the representations alleged in paragraph III of the complaint and found above are materially false in fact. Realization of a substantial monetary return from participation in the program is entirely a matter of chance, depending on the number of recipients of the “The Letter” and accompanying literature mailed by a so-called “Co-op Advertiser” who choose to participate in and continue the scheme. Respondent Larry Phillips’ own experience based on mailing of about 7000 pieces containing one of his names in all four positions producing a return of approximately $160 in the form of “report orders” over a six-month period (Tr. 41) speaks for itself. Such a slight return for a considerable effort and investment and with four times the potential of the average participant for financial gain (due to one of his names appearing in all four positions) and employing Phillips’ special knowledge of the psychology of obtaining responses to mail order promotions (Tr. 37, 39, 40) makes it apparent that a substantial monetary return will probably not be realized by the average participant.
8. Obviously, the names and addresses listed in the “CO-OP ADVERTISERS AD SECTION” of respondent’s promotional material (CX-2) are not unrelated entities and bona fide participants in the scheme. All names listed are those of respondent (Tr. 4; Resp. Proposed F. of F. No. 12).
9. A lottery is defined as a scheme or device for the distribution of prizes by lot or chance or an event or affair whose outcome is or seems to be determined by chance (Webster’s Third New International Dictionary; see also 18 U.S.C., 1301, 1302). The scheme employed by respondent offers a prize — the receipt of “orders” accompanied by $2.00 payments — dependent in whole or in part on the chance that recipients of respondent’s literature will place such “orders.” The element of consideration is found in the purchases of “reports” required for participation in the scheme.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Respondent is engaged in conducting a scheme or device for obtaining money through the mails by means of representations materially false in fact in violation of 39 U.S.C., 3005.
2. Such scheme is also a scheme for the distribution of money by chance thus falling within the definition of lottery as found above. See Zebelman v. U.S. , 339 F.2d 484 (10th Cir. 1964). As such the scheme also violates 39 U.S.C., 3005.
3. In essence the scheme is nothing more or less than the well-known chain letter. The fact that participants are to receive for each $2.00 invested a one-page “money making” report is obviously only an unsuccessful attempt to camouflage the principal characteristic of the scheme as a chain letter, or lottery.
4. An order pursuant to 39 U.S.C., 3005 in the form attached should be issued against respondent.
