This is the media report.
PARENTS OF 15 - YEAR OLD - FIND $71,000 CASH HIDDEN IN HIS
CLOSET!!!
Does
this headline look familiar? Of course it does.
You most
likely have just seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news
program (
Nothing
could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag and found
it was full of cash. Five-dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds - all
neatly rubber-banded in labeled piles.
"My
first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old woman,
"There was over $71,000 dollars in that bag - that's more than my husband
earns in a year".
The
woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he worked to
tell him what she had discovered. He came home right away and they drove
together to the boy’s school and picked him up. Little did they suspect that
where the money came from was more shocking than actually finding it in the
closet.
As it
turns out, the boy had been sending out, via E-mail, a type of
"Report" to E-mail addresses that he obtained off the Internet.
Everyday after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing this right on
his computer in his bedroom.
"I
just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on it
like the instructions said and I started sending it out", says the clever
15-year-old.
The
E-mail letter listed 5 addresses and contained instructions to send one $5
dollar bill to each person on the list, then to remove the 5th Name on the list
and to move the others addresses Down, and finally to add your name to number
1. So name 1 moves down to 2, and name 2 moves down to 3 and name 3 moves down
4, and name 4 moves down to 5. By the time your name reaches #5, you'll have
made thousands of dollars!
The
letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand dollars in
five-dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your name at
the top of the 5-address list. "I get junk E-mail all the time, and really
did not think it was going to work", the boy continues.
Within
the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box that his
parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill
up with not magazines, but envelopes containing $5 bills.
"About
a week later I rode my bike down to the post office and my box had 1 magazine
and about 300 envelops stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said I
had to go up to the post office counter".
"I
thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)". He goes on, "I went
up to the counter and they had a whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride
back home and empty out my backpack because I could not carry it all".
Over the
next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The money just
kept coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, barely
had time for my homework". He had also been riding his bike to several of
the banks in his area and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties and
hundreds.
"I
didn't want the banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to different banks
with like five thousand at a time in my backpack. I would usually tell the lady
at the bank counter that my dad had sent me in to exchange the money and he was
outside waiting for me. One time the lady gave me a really strange look and
told me that she would not be able to do it for me and my dad would have to
come in and do it, but I just rode to the next bank down the street
(laughs)".
Surprisingly,
the boy did not have any reason to be afraid. The reporting news team examined
and investigated the so-called "chain-letter" the boy was sending out
and found that it was not a chain-letter at all. In fact, it was completely
legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341,
or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal
regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service
must be exchanged for money received.
Every
five-dollar bill that he received contained a little note that read,
"Please send me report number XYZ". This simple note made the letter
legal because he was exchanging a service (A Report on how-to) for a
five-dollar fee.
