(signed) David Stewart PRIZE C0-ORDINATOR Anyways, I did a search on the internet and found two more scams that are nearly WORD-FOR-WORD the same as what I received. I had a feeling it was a scam...but wasn't about to call Canada to check...at least not from my home phone. I have heard of scams that they can get access to your phone line and charge up all sorts of high costs. We were thinking we would dig out a calling card and call from a payphone. But now that I discovered this is a scam, I won't even waste my time. I thought I would pass this info along for everyone else. Have a GREAT Night!
