  1. Scam? on 1300 Unopened Fry's Rebate Forms Found In Dumpster · · Score: 1

    I bought $3300 dollars worth of appliances (fridge, washer & dryer) that came with a 15% mail in rebate from Sears in January. Of course, the day I made the purchase I sent the paperwork in with my receipts. It's now September and I still have no rebate. I've been told numerous times by "Mark" or "Craig" or "Andy" (really, how many Indian guys have names like that?) that they never received the rebate paperwork. They also kindly mentioned that since it's passed the required postmark date I am no longer entitled to the rebate. I have been fighting this battle on and off now for months.

    Today, I was finally given a new address to send my rebates. Supposedly, this place will not deny me because of the postmark. I sent it off at lunch. Something tells me that address goes to the postal system's equivalent of /dev/null.

    Lessen learned - When dealing with a mail in rebate THAT'S EFFEN $400+, send the damn paperwork via certified mail. I probably wouldn't be dealing with this crap if I did.

    So basically... Fry's partner doing this doesn't surprise me.

    And thank "God" for that! Most of my fellow atheists are -- to use the all so popular (for the moment) slashdot phrase -- batshit crazy.

    Most "atheists" only say they are because they think its just so cool to be a rebel. Most haven't really thought it through.

    Critter 2: That happens sometimes. You can get used to it though. It's just bromoacetone.

    Critter 3: Not this stuff man. Looks like xylyl bromide or chlorine or something.

    Critter 1: Damn. Forget this! For now on, when I see one of these canisters, spewing or not, I'm outta here boys.
