    Thumbs down The pyramid letter scam

    this looks fishy...anyone had this one ?

    How to become a millionaire in just three (3) months!
    Read this letter carefully, you will be glad that you received it

    My name is Len Nathan. In December 1998 my printing business went bankrupt because of the poor state of the economy. My 2 cars were repossessed and debt collectors were hounding me like you won’t believe. I owed R885 600-00 and insolvency or prison was my only future. My family, my reputation, sanity and my life was at stake. (I became very ill).

    In January the following year I received a letter advertising How to make R3,2 million within 3 months for an investment of only R300-00. I thought it was a joke! R3,2 million? Impossible; absolutely impossible, never in a million years! I spoke to my advocate and friends about it and they said I would be stupid to try it and would be wasting my time. But after 3 days of desperate struggle in court to stay out of jail, I decided I had nothing to lose.

    My family and I enthusiastically (out of desperation) grabbed the slim opportunity available to us and sent R100-00 to each of the 3 names on the Become a millionaires list We also distributed 3600 photocopies of the letter in the Newlands area by hand!

    Within 8 days the money started rolling in, thousands and thousands. I could not believe it R100 300-00 within 12 days, R130 000-00 within 62 days and R580400-00 within 90 days. I became a millionaire within 3 months and 3 days exactly. I have a new house in Clifton, 2 new BMW5, a happy family, no debt, better health and thousands a month to spend on investments, luxuries and holidays all over the world, I now also have a clothing and printing business..
    If you follow the 3 - step instructions in this letter you can become a millionaire within 3 months. The Make a Million system is a legitimate opportunity that, cannot fail to earn you a lot of money. For this unique opportunity you are required to make an investment of R300-00.
    If you really do not want to make money & become financially independent, then please pass this on to someone close to you who might benefit from making millions in cash!
    It you follow the instructions and if you are HONEST by NOT changing the order of the name list and you honestly MAKE the deposits to the 3 names on your list and you have mailed it to at least 200 people: then you will see a huge difference in your bank account within 90 days. You WILL be successful by being HONEST. Do not expect results if you cheat and remember the saying, What goes around, might(and would probably) come around It means you could be cheated!
    STEP 1
    If you have Internet banking then this will be easy ... Alternatively call on the different banks and deposit R100-00 into each of the following accounts below. Ensure you use the CORRECT account numbers please!

    1) J PILLAY
    STD BANK Acc: *********
    Branch Code: 04262610

    2) DE POTGIETER
    ABSA Bank Acc: *********
    Branch Code: 630237

    3) L NORTJE
    STD. Bank Acc: *********
    Branch Code: 014637

    REMEMBER: This is a legitimate service for which you are paying. The listed people have bought this opportunity, as you will and you will send it through to others. Theres a saying always spend a small amount before you can expect to receive lots of it!


    STEP 2
    Enter the millionaires list by putting your name with your banking details in POSITION NO.1, move the two other names on the list down by one position. The current No:1 moves to No: 2 and No: 2 moves to No: 3 The current No: 3 will fall away. Your name will be at NO.1.

    STEP 3
    Get at least 200 names and addresses at random from a telephone directory or make use of collected business cards. Also make use of newspaper, Jobmail, Junkmail, etc. Now- e-mail these page ASAP! Dont forget to send to friends, family and people at your work, and dont forget your own e-mail address. You can alternatively make photocopies and deliver by hand in the area you work or live. (Just tip-ex the names and re-write in the correct order by hand) Keep in mind the more copies that go out, the more money rolls in!

    Next:
    If you are honest and paid RIOO.OO to the 3 names, then Sit back and relax and watch those Rl0O.00 notes flow in ,it is that easy!
    Remember that by the time your name is at Number 3 you will be richer than rich. As soon as you send your 200 copies (the minimum) you are automatically in business and people are sending you R100s from all over.

    I FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO SHARE THIS SECRET WITH YOU AND ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME FINACIALL (INDEPENDENT. BUT, IT IS ALLUP TO YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I WANT TO UNDERLINE AND STRESS THAT EVERYONE MUST FOLLOW THE RULES AND BE HONEST AND PAY YOUR R100.OO TO EACH PERSON!

    ONLY CHANGE NAMES AS PER STEP 2. PEOPLE WILL RELY ON YOU AS YOU WILL ON THEM. IT WORKED FOR ME AND OTHERS, THERFORE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. TAKE THIS SECRET AND USE IT, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

    Here are two letters from participants that took part in previous mailings:

    Dear Lenin,
    About seven months age I received your letter. I was very tempted to take part, but my family and a work crisis
    prevented it and I placed your letter to one side. I was soon made redundant at work and couldnt think of a worse position to be in. I then remembered your letter and not expecting much, thought I would give t a try. One week went by after I deposited Ri 00.00 to each of the names on my list. In the second week I started to receive a small amount of replies, and by the third week it was unbelievable! I made Ri 00,700-00 in two months. In such a short period of time it is the most money I have ever seen, never mind earned. It was like winning a state lottery or something. I am grateful for receiving your letter and to have the opportunity to make a lot of money. I am already sending out more letters and want to be a millionaire before the end of the year. Thank you very much and may God bless you

    Dear Lenin,
    I am skeptical by nature and did net believe that your Make A Million business would work. Anyway, I am a 70-
    year old pensioner and had plenty of time to send out letters. I deposited the RlOO.00 to each of the 3 persons on my list and sent 600 copies of this letter and hoped for the best For six days nothing happened but within the next week I received R4,800-00. I could not wait for each new day. Over the next four months I have received a total .of R3,800,000-00!!! I was amazed! I have been able to move from my small flat and now permanently live in a 5 star hotel in the Strand. I have traveled to Israel, Canada and Australia to visit my children and grandchildren. All my dreams have come true in a matter of months. Many thanks for your letter and may others also benefit from it

    HOW IT WORKS:
    Stage 1: Your name on Level 1- You email or maiI 200 copies arid receive 20% response. That means 40 people pay you R100-00. So, your name on Level 1 made you R4000.00, thats nice!
    Stage 2: Your name now moves to Level 2. Each of those 40 people sends 200 copies and receives a 20%
    response. That is 1600 people out of 8000 paying you R100.00 each. Wow a whopping R160,000-OO (We
    assumed each of the 40 in stage 1 only send 200 each, some send way more than that.)
    Stage 3: Your name is now on Level 3. The 1600 people from Level 2 send 200 copies each. That means it goes to
    320,000 people. Now assume another 20Io response from that...64,000 people each paying you R100.00=
    R6,400,000 I!!

    OUESTIONS and ANSWERS:
    Q: Is it possible to make millions in a few months?
    A: Yes, it is very possible. Once you have deposited the R100s into the 3 accounts and e-mailed/mailed at least
    200 copies means youre in business..
    Q: Is there a chance I will not make one cent?
    A: It is impossible to NOT make money from this system. According to statistics, even if only one person
    responds you can still make at least R10000-00 - that is not a bad/investment for R300-00?
    Q: When my riches finish, what then?
    A: Just start again and send your original letter to as many people as you wish, That easy!
    Q: How long will it take before I see results?
    A: It can take as little as 3 days. Deposit the monies without delay and send at least 200-300 copies via e-mail ASAP!! You will be surprised, there are many desperate people in South Africa wanting to become financially independent and they have tried other systems that failed. Be positive, you might get a 50% response!
    Q: What are the risks and is it legal?
    A: No risk, no catch No one is forced to join. There is no law against receiving money, just declare it on your tax returns.
    IT IS NOW ALL UP TO YOU TO TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE - WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE?
    The real secret to success is enthusiasm
