Chapter One Publisher Comments! Richard Paquette

*** This is an exact duplicate of last months Publisher Comments only ***
because some of these callers don't seem to understand that what
they are doing is ILLEGAL and I hope by running this twice, it will
get the message home......?????????
I would like to make a stand against all the " quick cash " type of files
that seem to be again circulating various BBS's.
A file called MAKE$$$$.TXT, which first appeared a couple of years ago, and
has since surfaced with many different names, has started appearing again!
When the original file was being circulated to various BBS's, copies of it
were submitted to:
1) US Postal Service
2) The Federal Trade Commission
3) The FCC
4) and the Attorneys General of 30 difference states
for evaluation under the Main Fraud and Chain Letter Laws...
It was found that even though the letter would be transmitted via FCC
controlled methods, the actual moneys would change hands via the U.S. Postal
Service.
This being the case, letters of this type are, in fact, proposing an illegal
activity involving chain letters and pyramid schemes....
It is NOT LEGAL!! Meaning very simply put IT IS ILLEGAL!!
It was also determined that the FCC and U.S. Postal Service would prosecute
any person or persons who willfully distribute this file or its derivatives
to any BBS.
IT IS ILLEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES to have, distribute or offer files of this
type...THIS IS A FEDERAL CRIME!! ( A FELONY!! )
*** WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU POST THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FOR ALL ***
Please be advised that the appearance of ANY chain-letter or pyramid scheme
file on "BBSNAME" will cause us to report the name, address, and telephone
number(s) of any caller who posts or attempts to post it or any similar file
on this BBS to the U.S. Postal Service, Federal Communications Commission,
and the California Attorney General.
If you would like a copy of this, it is available on The Livewire BBS called:
"ILLEGAL.ZIP" and can be downloaded on your first call!
By the way, we have a file circulating called " DGSTVOTE.ZIP ", you might
want to look it over, we are asking you the caller to vote on subjects that
regard the future growth of BBS Callers Digest. Download the file, place your
vote and send us the file or print it and mail it to us at:
