Fred looks at another worthless SPAM!

This is a sort of "pre-SPAM" SPAM. I call it the "learjet" SPAM.
Here the SPAMmer using the imaginative name of "David Ross" attemps to sucker
people into buying a his "money-making" scheme for $49.95 by making absurd
claims of his jet-set lifestyle that his scheme supposedly made possible. He
claims to live in some tropical paradise but I suspect this SPAMmer is actually
living a rather wretched lifestyle in the greater Atlanta area. (the SPAM
originated at an Atlanta area ISP and has been reported to them) He claims to
have a yacht and an impressive collection of cars although he seems to know
little about the collector car market. Mercedes 300SL's are quite collectable,
but even pristine ones won't bring anywhere near a million (300K is tops
for these) because they are not that rare. (at least compared to certain
types of pre-war Mercedes cars some of which have sold in the past for
over a million)
Not only does he want $49.95 for his scheme, he has the gall to ask for
5 per cent off the top of whatever you make. I guess that is his way of
trying to convince you that his scheme actually works. It reminds me in a way
of those "Carlton Sheets" infomercials on late night TV. The pitchman goes
on and on about how you make a fortune speculating on real estate, if you'll
spend $400 for these tapes. The truth be known, I doubt "Carlton Sheets" and his late-night TV buddies ever made a nickel on real estate, if they made
big money it was ripping people off on these useless tapes. So maybe "David
Ross" got his inspiration from these informercials and decided to SPAM around
the concept. You send him $49.95 and he sends you a copy of the Karen Liddell
SPAM if you're lucky. So rather than sending out the SPAM for free, this clown
figures he can sucker people into PAYING for SPAM!!

Footnote: A few days after "David Ross" spewed out his "Learjet" SPAM,
he SPAMmed again with this rather strange SPAM where he wants people to
fax him their old phone bills as part of some "contest" he scheme he dreamed up. It looked rather suspicious to me, like David might be going into the toll fraud business. Apparently, he didn't find the results of his "Learjet" SPAM all that gratifying, so he came up with the phone bill scam. Needless to say, sending "David" your old phone bills would be rather dangerous, as they usually contain the PIN number that is used to access your telco account information and possibly could be used to sucker the phone company into giving him a credit card number associated with that account. Hopefully, not too many were suckered by his phone bill scam because if they were, they'll see it on next month's phone bill. What "David Ross" needs is a 6x8 concrete room "with a view," it's difficult to SPAM from such venues. He may only spend a few years in such a room, but he won't be in the mood for SPAMming most likely. Weak and bloated from the starchy prison diet, racked by liver and venereal disease, he'll wander the streets of Atlanta begging on street corners until the cold of winter does him in and he ends on a slab at the Fulton County coroner's office. From living in a tropical paradise with yachts, Learjets, and Ferrari's to being lowered into the ground in a cheap pine box in the pauper's section of the Fulton County cemetary, one can't say that a SPAMmer's life doesn't have variety to it!!

HI. I APPOLOGIZE FOR THIS INTRUSION , BUT I FEEL YOU MAY THANK ME FOR THIS .

I know you may be thinking :

Let me tell you a little about myself.

My name is David Ross

I reside in an island paradise . I entertain on a 75 ft. yacht . I travel
the world by private lear jet . I drive 8 cars including two Ferraris, a Rolls
Royce Corniche and a 1955 gull wing Mercedes worth over a million dollars.
I party with supermodels , world famous celebrities and diplomats. Banks are
constantly trying to lend me money at prime rates...but , I don't need them any
more.

However, it wasn't always like this.

Until 1995 I was working for the telephone company as a switch technician.
I drove a 1989 Chrysler LeBaron and had over $50,000 in revolving debt.
It seemed that I would never get ahead and was doomed to be a loser .

In my spare time I studied every money making system out there.
In fact , I often ordered 10 new money making systems a month.
This is one of the reasons I was so over extended on my credit cards.
You could say that my second job was investigating these systems.

Then , one day , I was researching financial grants at the library.
I discovered something that all the B.S.money making books never mentioned
This simple discovery brought in:

Over the next 5 weeks , I proved to myself that this method worked time
after time....EVERY TIME ! Then , at the beginning of the next month, I
opened my bank statement. My jaw dropped opened to discover that there was

I had discovered something that basically forced people to give me money !
After a period of 6 incredibly exciting months , I discovered that I had made

without spending a dime on office rent or employees, and while keeping my current
job...which I soon quit after many years ( to hell with the pension and benefits ) .
Then I made another exciting break through ! I thought,

This lead me to an even faster and easier way to get rich : I could actually help
a few others DO EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS I HAVE DONE ! and profit along with them from
their results. So I developed a comprehensive , easy to understand PRIVATE REPORT
which is a complete

right..
