Call within 72 hours and you can increase your award to include either the Netbook or an ANDROID TABLET.
To claim this special offer, simply call this local number!
1-855-510-7589
Monday through Sunday 9am to 9pm Offer No. 6281.
A paper (coupon) enclosed says: Sponsored by:
DirectBuy of Edison
135 Raritan Center Parkway
Edison, NJ 08837
Call for details. Certain restrictions apply. Must be employed full time. This promotion is not sponsored by or affiliated with Android or Microsoft, but they are major suppliers. Recipients will receive a certificate for the tablet and will be responsible for an activation fee plus shipping and handling. Members, past visitors, employees or anyone affiliated with this promotion are ineligible.
Is anyone familiar with this. It strikes me to be a scam, but would be nice if it were true - if it's free why is full time employment required?
I googled the phone number and didn't come up with anything.
Thanks.
Sincerely, Libra |

I'd stay away from them. Not a purchase that benefits you unless you are going to furnish a large house from scratch, and even then the buy-in is still high.

Thank you BadNews and Doctor Olds. I actually called them and a lady answered (she had to do with marketing) and after answering a few questions, found out my husband and I don't qualify because of our age. That turns out to be a good thing.
