Chain Letter Bastards

This is a list of names and addresses of people who are listed on Make Money Fast postings and e-mails sent over the Internet. Each time I get one, I'll add the names to this page.

USPS says that selling a service (i.e. "Please add me to your mailing list") does not guarantee legality, so you're still hosed. If you offer a scheme where someone sends some money in and might receive an unknown amount of cash in exchange, you are running a lottery and this is illegal by USPS Title 18 Section 1302.

It's not illegal for you to send the chain letter all around the Internet, but it is illegal for you to use snail-mail to send the money to people.

You may ask why I'm doing this. Well, it's a deterrent so that people won't post more of these MMF things. I mean, you're spreading your name and address all over the world; is that a good idea? I know it won't stop the flow of these posts, so I guess it's a revenge thing, too. Ha! So, without any further ado, here's a bunch of people who are involved in Make Money Fast scams (US addresses only):

Eric Finch P.O. Box 245 Lufkin, TX 75901	Kip Griffin 349 W. Webster Muskegon, MI 49440	Peter Simmons 668 Clay #118 San Francisco, CA 94111
