Regarding the following incredible offer: >Has anyone out there received an offer to participate in an advertising >test being conducted by the American Heritage Redemption Center in Los >Angeles? > >They enclose a check made out for $1500 which you can apply towards the >purchase of either a: > > $1589 RCA Model PKC-600R 45" projection Color TV > OR > $1764 His and Hers Honda ATC110 Three Wheeled Motorcycles > >. . . Yeah. They were talking about this one on the news all weekend long here in L.A. The local BBB and law-enforcement people are treating it as a con racket. If this can be called a "super offer" at all, it is probably a "super offer" only for the perpetrator(s), who will most likely cash all those checks for $89 and $264 and RUN. Moral: If it sounds too good to be true -- it most likely is. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rich Wales University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Computer Science Department 3531 Boelter Hall Los Angeles, California 90024 // USA -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Phone: (213) 825-5683 // +1 213 825 5683 ARPANET: wales@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA UUCP: ...!{cepu,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!wales -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
