Subject: A free hard drive (off topic, but
cool!)
Well, it wasn't *quite* free... it cost me $1.50.
OK, so maybe
this is a little off topic, but I was so damn stunned when I
tried this that
I figured I had to share it with folks in the groups I
hang out in.
Like
most of you, I have a lot of stuff on my hard drive -- so much cool
stuff
from Usenet, in fact, that I really needed to get both a good T1
connection
and a massive hard drive to manage it all.
Yeah, right -- like I had any
money to do that!
Anyway, a guy I trust turned me onto a company called
InterLink and told
me to call them at 011-24-831-3131 (it's a Canadian
number). The call has a fee
of $1.50, which irked me at first... until he
explained how InterLink works.
A recording gives you instructions on what
to to. When asked to enter the
account number of the person who gave you
this number, enter 789418 --
that's my account number, and it's how I got my
new T1 connection and 1GB
hard drive.
Let met explain. The recording will
give you your own account number, then
it'll record your name and address.
Here's where it gets VERY cool!
For every call made to this number,
InterLink receives $1.50... 50 cents
goes to the account number you type in
(in the case of your call, to me).
Of course, now that you've got YOUR OWN
account number, you'll want to
have people call and type in YOUR account
number -- get out there and
publicize this incredible system with YOUR
account number, and start
making money!
It gets better. You get 50 cents
for everyone who calls and types in your
account number, but when they get
people to type in THEIR account number
you get 25 cents of that as well,
PLUS 25 cents off everyone THEY get to
call.
Here's the math: If you get
100 people to call (damned easy to do), then
you get $50 dollars. If they
each get 100 people to call, then you get
$2,500. If THEY each get 100
people to call then you get $250,000.
Honestly, I have never done a chain
letter in my life. I don't
buy lottery tickets. I WOULD NEVER HAVE TRIED
THIS IF A FRIEND HADN'T
SUGGESTED IT. But it works. I've made enough to get
my coveted T1 internet
connection, my 1GB hard drive and a LOT of other cool
stuff in just a few
weeks.
If you're over 18, try it -- hell, it's only
$1.50 and it's absolutely the
best investment you'll ever make. The number
is open 24 hours a day, so do
it now.
