Let us Pay your way into 3 Rapidly growing MLM companies
by profits4u34＠hotmail.com 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

THE WANNA BEE FOUNDATION Let us put the pieces together for YOU The Wanna Bee Foundation is NOT a Multi-Level Company. It has NO matrix or payout. We are not putting hundreds of thousands of people into MLM programs, not even hundreds, only a few will get this opportunity to have a chance to become a member of the "Wanna Bee Foundation". Your entry is voted on by the members, then placed into 3 MLM companies (FREE). Only after you are in profit in at least 2 of them, are you required to pay your monthly dues to each of the companies. The annual fee is $29.95. Each individual company will send you a recruiting kit after you become a member. GUARANTEE -- We guarantee you to be in profit before you are asked to complete the applications FOR THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES. We will mail out, at no extra cost to you, from one to three million offers a month. All members joining from this email advertising will be placed in all of your downlines. ALL THIS FOR $29.95. PLEASE VISIT: http://hometown.aol.com/joinwbf FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS EXCITING OPPORTUNITY. If you are accepted by the WBF, they pay your way into all three companies (any kit fees, plus first month fees). When you are in profit in at least two of the three companies, you are asked to join, and then have 10 days to respond or you lose your position on the team. As a Safelist Emailer member, they mail the WBF information with your ID on it. You even get a copy of the leads that your email advertisement generated (generally between 800 to 3000 per month). You may also use the same leads for any purpose you choose, they can be emailed to you. Now, with each WBF member getting from one to three million email adds sent each month, that adds up to millions + millions of people world wide getting our message each and every month. With this system, getting only one one-hundredth of one percent on the Internet, this will still put new members in each company for YOU every month. Then, the new members will team with you to do more mailings. This message is sent in compliance of the new email bill HR 1910. Under Bill HR 1910 passed by the 106th US Congress on May 24, 1999, this message can not be considered spam as long as we include the way to be removed. Per Section HR 1910., please type REMOVE in the subject line and reply to this email. All removal requests are handled personally and immediately

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While we are on the topic, someone recently sent out lots of make money fast spam with my name as the from address. It included what looks like (I'm in Australia) a US Toll free number (1-888-293-6065 Code # MT-1), If anyone has seen this spam, particularly if it has my address on it, please send me a copy of the headers. I am not offering much of a reward except for warm fuzzy feelings and in the case of helpful people small chunks of e-gold. Specifically half a gram for the first person who can ring and see if this number exists and who they are, I'll bump it up to a whole gram if you can also find a suitable law enforcement email for that jurisdiction. Offer good for the next week or two. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

by Sicurezza 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Finalmente anche in Italia il portachiavi con incorporato lo spray antiagressione Kdefender! Perche' averlo? 1 donna su 3 viene , molestata o violentata sessualmente almeno una volta nell'arco della sua vita; ogni 5 minuti una donna viene stuprata; avviene una aggressione ogni 10 secondi; avviene una rapina ogni 46 secondi; ogni anno 1 famiglia su 5 � vittima di un crimine; si registrano 4,5 milioni di attacchi da parte di cani all'anno. Gli spray da difesa al capsicum non sono letali e non lasciano danni permanenti. Garantiscono 30/45 minuti di disabilitazione del contaminato permettendo di allontanarci dal luogo dell'aggressione o tranquillamente o di porre sotto custodia il malvivente. Tutte le foto e informazioni all'indirizzo : http://xx.cz/keydefender Muoviti in tutta tranquillita' tenendolo in tasca o nella borsetta. Nel caso il sito non fosse visibile per motivi tecnici,richieda il nuovo indirizzo scrivendo una mail all'indirizzo : infodfndr(a)katamail.com

moral crypto
by mix＠cybershamanix.com 03 Sep '01

What's with this moral crypto jive? Nomen sounds like Faustine in drag. Who cares if Osama benefits from crypto - he isn't any greater danger to our much tattered peace and freedom than Dubbya. Probably a lot less.
