Re: Internet Letters

Perhaps not, but why would you even consider it? This is a scam. Ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme, etc.

My colleagues are correct, by the way, though the letter mailing may not violate sectons 1302 and 1342, but what about all the other code sections that it MIGHT violate.

Not worth the risk. Don't fall for it.

Re: Internet Letters

As seen on Oprah's and 20/20's ponzi scheme shows, most likely.

Even assuming the underlying scheme was legal (I doubt it - do some poking around on the FTC and USPS websites and I think you'll find some info. on these programs), you are highly likely to violate other laws by sending unsolicited email.

So you're an aspiring internet scam artist. If I were you, I'd keep my day job.

Re: Internet Letters

Look at it this way. I have carefully reviewed every aspect of your proposed e-mailed letter scheme, and I can absolutely, positively guarantee you and everyone you send your letter to that it does not violate California Penal Code section 187!!!!!!!

The problem is, Penal Code section 187 defines murder.

I haven't even bothered to look at USC Title 18 Sections 1302 and 1342, because the scheme probably doesn't violate them, either.

OK, that clears the scheme on three of about 1,000,000 laws making various things crimes.

Who's to assure you this scheme doesn't run afoul of one, or six, or sixty, of the remaining 999,997 criminal laws????????

I can almost guarantee you it does.

It has all the hallmarks of a "Ponzi scheme."
