I'm not sure exactly how they find me, but there is a daily load of offers on my e mail, details on secrets of how, with just a few mouse clicks I will become rich...
Usually at the end of these 5 to 20 minute instructional efforts there is a requirement, to share my credit card details for a few measly dollars to participate in these goldmines.
I admit that most of the time I pitch this stuff right away but occasionally listen to the spiel just to see what's new.
And that's just the regular e mail the junk mail already separated. The only reason I even look in the e mail junk section is that I have missed on occasion to connect with a friend who's message somehow ended up in the junk pile.

secrets...secrets...
I'm suspicious when I hear the word secret or come across secret information,books and articles on the subject .. it's good to keep some secrets to avoid hurting somebody...or..to protect the safety and security of the family,community, nation or the world. Some of this secrets business is just silliness or business promotion to unsuspecting fools.
Here is one situation:
I received in the mail from Arizona a package of published items inviting me to become a member of The Secret Society. Anyway, membership is or was a matter of two steps, the mailing I got was part one, part two was a matter of sending 200 Dollars by Friday to the Vegas address indicated in the package ( air mail envelope).
The picture is of Cleopatra III presented to Cesar, the slave just rolled her out of the carpet. It has nothing to do with my post but it's a cute copy of a painting.
Apparently upon payment I will be a full member and as part of this membership acceptance my mentors will send to me a manuscript, 680 pages on secret text 2300 years old..originally in Greek, but translated into English for my use. This information will make me rich...and more..
I missed the deadline, (Friday) got onto google search and here are two postings I found on a related forum, plus my own comments.
Secret Society and good fortune...scam?
I have
just gotten the Secret Society invitation and 5 stories booklet in the mail
after I replied. I think the secret message is that you must create and hold an
image in your mind visually (which uses the right side of your brain) that you
are special and deserving of all the riches, fame, love, etc that life has to
offer. This visual image is white magic which inclines people and even things to
help you in your life's endeavors. And so subconsciously the rich and powerful
Illuminati types in the Secret Society are using this "I am special" thought and
image to gain many advantages over the left brained operating
people.
Most all celebrities use this same "I am Special" thought or thinking to gain a following, fame, and money. And so whatever your aspirations in life using this right brain image of specialness for yourself can attract people and circumstances to you for your benefit and enhance any natural abilities or desires you have to accomplish. This is also the technique of creative visualization.
The great sorrow is that the Secret Secret Society uses this knowledge to gain material gains and sells this message for profit. Rather it is better for the Illuminati to give all people the message that they are special and need to use their right brain to contemplate and visualize what they wish to achieve in life. This is the way of the future not the pyramid shaped societies of today of the rich and famous at the top and the masses of other peoples at the bottom.
I copied the above text from a forum on the subject.
Here is another article with a similar message:
Not all scams are on the Internet and I think this one should be given the light of day.
I am not exactly sure where this belongs because there does not seem to be a category here.
A few weeks ago, I received by snail mail an offer to receive some free information telling me how I could become richer in life, wealth and love.
The letter was very flattering and stroked my ego as well as a desire to be wealthy and travel the world. This is all by design for you to take the bait.
The offer said that I had to return or fax back a form requesting the free info before that Friday coming up.
With hockey playoffs and the final arrival of some warmer weather for spring, I did not get around to actually reading the information until the Saturday past the deadline. I decided that for the price of a stamp, I would take a chance and send my form in.
I had been specially selected for this honor because I was entering the "second cycle" of my life and can accept the "Secret Society's Inner Secrets" that are over 2300 years old and been used by all the rich and powerful throughout modern history.......Whew! Heady stuff!!
Well, I guess I got lucky and they were not paying attention to the deadline that they had set. I am now a "New Secret Society Member"!
I am now in possession of my "Secret Society Orientation" booklet and according to the instructions, once I uncover the secret message inside the 5 true stories in the booklet I "will come upon wealth and fame".
Now if I happen to NOT discover the secret message...."you still absorb it when you read your enclosed Secret Society Orientation booklet, and within two weeks, THREE very good things will happen to you involving money, power and love!"
This whole deal is to try and draw you in to buying the 680 page "Inner Secrets Manuscript" for the low, low price of $200.00 USD, L130.00 British Pounds, $270 Australian dollars, $235 Canadian dollars 150 Euro's $345 New Zealand dollars.
This is all very convincing if you have read or seen any DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons books or movies.
I have the free booklet. I read some....I'll let you know in 3 weeks if I become rich and famous.......
and then:
I received the booklet and related propaganda in the mail,
I never asked for it. Visa or MasterCard for $200 is payable to The Society...that's it, 7 day offer expires Friday..any Friday I guess.. Finally opened the envelope, found the booklet with the 5 articles and some other stuff. Guess this is a special offer just for me, the price was reduced from $250.00 to merely Can. $200.00 guess I am really special. There were a few other pieces of printing in the package, one page printed two sides promised a big penis. No kidding. The illustrations showed 4 different sizes mini to large the big one about 12 inches..I'm afraid I was so appalled I ripped this page up, burned it in the fireplace. In defense of the advertisers I believe it was in a separate envelope marked adult content. I can not for the world of me imagine why one of my greatest wishes or desires would be to have a bigger dick. Anyway, I must admit I was entertained by the unsolicited mail but sorry, not interested in the 630 page book for $200...unless of course I win big in this weeks 6/49 or encore.
