Back in the day when magazines were things you read and they had weird little classifieds sections in the back. I responded to one "Make money blah blah, send $2 and SASE to..." a few weeks later my get rich "book" arrived it was a couple photo copied pages that described taking out ads in magazines "Make money blah blah, send $2 and SASE to..." and sending photo copied copies of the photo copied pages to any suckers naive enough to send you $2.

I was a child, and $2 was relatively cheap way to learn that lesson.




SASE is "self-addressed stamped envelope," if anyone missed that.
