The following document is going to sound EXACTLY like a
mail order con. The fact is that none of us want to get ripped
by some jerk with nothing else to do but dream these things up.
BUT - if you will take the 5 minutes it took me to read this,
you will see that it really can work - it's all based on the
multiplication factor. Take this week off from Lotto America
and put it here. Your HONESTY and $5.00 WILL get you those
computer upgrades you've been wanting for Christmas.......

What followed did indeed sound EXACTLY like a mail order con.
I'll let you guess the reason for that.
Can't you hear it? This is a boy CRYING for ``Bob''. Send him postcards.
Send him pamphlets. Send him panties. Heck, give him a call. He needs
the slack. And after all the people on the net report him to various
organizations, he's also gonna need the distraction...
P.S. Has anyone out there heard of this new weapon of the con, the
"multiplication factor"? Sounds grim.
