No Paul it's real. In fact, I've already sent them my $150. administration
fee and they said I will be getting my $$$. I believe the exact words were "we will gladly pay you on Tuesday." Mel "Paul Schilter" paulschilter@comcast dot net wrote in message ...

If it was for real they'd at least have to have your social security number. :-) Paul So let me get this straight: It's a "real-fake", or a "fake-fake". Or is it so preposterous as to be a "real-fake-fake" ? By all means, quit your job immediately. Stew |

Mel,
Humor aside, I had a buddy who honestly believed that he had won the "Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes" The promo they sent him was very misleading. I've heard of others that started spending the money they "thought" they had won. Sad really. Paul "MB_" wrote in message ...

Stew,
There probably was a note attached to the bike, probably had something to do with your ongoing good conduct, at least it was for my privileges. But you're right, it that sense nothing is for free. :-) Paul "S.Lewis" wrote in message . .. "Notan" wrote in message ...
