Thanks for posting the warning. Scammers seem to be getting ever more creative in seeming legitimate.

One "take home" from this is, if you never heard of a company, best to Google them before calling them for your "delivery" or whatever.

My junk mail (snail and e) goes directly in the trash unread. I have this basic premise, right or wrong, that no matter what the offer says, what it actually is is an offer to take money out of my pocket and put it in someone else's.

If I need a discount coupon for something I plan to buy anyway, I can find one if available, usually online. If I wasn't already planning to buy it, I'm not "saving" money by buying it because of an unsolicited "offer".

"Not Buying It" P
