Credit Card Scam - how your credit card company is helping you get ripped off
The image above is the included return envelope I received with my last credit card invoice from Visa, issued by Bank of America. The advertisement makes it look like it is a gift certificate for $108 to purchase the crap items pictured above. You put in your credit card information and mailing address, and when you return your credit card payment, you card gets billed for the items! This false advertising makes consumers think they can get $108 dollars worth of free stuff. The $108 Holiday Award Certicate doesn’t actually exist, they just print it and make consumers think that it does. You can click on the image to make see the full version. Please leave comments if you have fallen for this.

Always read over the whole thing. It says there in the left margin that it’s the amount you’ll save buying 4 or more items because the prices are low. Meaning, they’re selling you at wholesale instead of retail basically. I always read the fine print on those suckers.
