attention college students: scam alert

[EricaLubarsky]

I've entered about 12 sweepstakes in the last week so I was surprised but not cynical when I got a note saying that I needed to redeem my prize. I actually won a cool T-shitr from a different company and I was fooled for a second into thinking that this company was the one.

Here is what I found. Direct marketers a nuisance for many University students ">http://www3.baylor.edu/Lariat/Archiv...21/14_dfk.html[/S</a>

The note looked like this





They supposedly send them to college juniors and seniors as well as grad students. There is a chance you could win a prize but thay will make you sit through a 45 minute lecture and will follow up with lots and lots of phone calls.
