big ones
You know those scams where you fill out credit card offers and give someone your kidney and they give a trip to Hawaii? Lauren and I signed up for one. It took us several months and about $150, but we were finally set to receive our forty inch plasma TV we were promised.
Except…
We got a letter stating that the TVs were discontinued, and that they would be sending us cash instead. After quite a bit of research, we decided that the original TV did not fit our needs anyway, and instead bought this 62″ Toshiba:
Total out of pocket cost including all the offers and getting the TV to our house ended up being just over $200.
No, you cannot move in with us ;- ).

OMG, you HAD to get the TV now, NOT a year EARLIER! :-(
So what’s the trade off? A telemarketer calling every 5 minutes? A mailbox full of junk mail
everyday? Your SOUL?
