The C.O.D.
Fraud Game
My Consumer Protection Di-
vision has asked me to warn
consumers about c.o.d. fraud,
which is sweeping the country.
THE SCAM
Victims of c.o.d. fraud have
reported that they first receiv-
ed a phone call from a California
company, in which they were
MRS. GLADYS GRAHAM
SCOTT
July U, 1930 Sept. 7,1985
GONE,
BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
God’s finger touched her, and
she slept.
Mother Dear,
You’re in our HEARTS;
When we think of you, we think
of one to count on, and someone
to lean on. Of helping hands.
We think of your kindness and
hear you praying for guidance
and comfort for your children.
When we think of you our
prayers rise above to the
source of all love. Your voice is
missed. We can hear you saying
"And you know where I am
going and how to get there.”
Jesus said I am the way-yes,
and the Truth and the Life. No
one can get to the Father
except by means of me." I have
fought long and hard for my
Lord, and through it all I have
kept true to Him. And now the
time has come for me to stop
fighting and rest. In heaven a
crown is waiting for me which
the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will give me on that great day
of His return. And not just to
me, but to all those whose lives
show that they are eagerly
looking forward to His coming
back again. “Keep on keeping
on and do what you can, while
you can.”
We love you, love you, love
you.

offered a prize or a precious
gem. All they had to do in order
tb win the valuable prize was
order the company’s product.
When the c.o.d. arrived, the
consumers paid about $39 and
found nothing inside the pack-
age. In some cases, the con-
sumers found a note that told
them to send in another $50 in
order to receive the prize. In
other cases the product was
sent but turned out to be nearly
worthless.
Some of the products offered
through these boiler room oper
ations include an “executive”
pen and pencil set, a so-called
personalized calendar, and a
supposed home health guide.
The pen and pencil set are
worth about $3, not the $33
claimed. The calendar is a small
cardboard calendar with paste-
on label and the home health
guide is a piece of cardbord
with a few health rules printed
on it.
Another company offers con
sumers a Timex computer for
$50. But the caller fails to
mention that you can get the
same product for $45 through
local stores.
WHAT TO DO
If you receive a call from an
unknown company, ask for a
copy of their catalogue-if you
are interested in the product.
Don’t be fooled by any state-
ment like “this offer is good
today only.”
Although the post office is
required to deliver all c.o.d.
packages, the consumer is not
required to'WceptThem.
If you think you have been
taken by a c.o.d. company, you
may report it to the Consumer
Protection Division nearest
you.
FOR MORE HELP
If you need more help or
information on this or other
consumer problems, contact
your nearest Attorney General
Consumer Protection Office (in
Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Hous-
ton, Lubbock, McAllen, and
San Antonio). The Attorney
General's Office is the people's
law firm. We’re here to help
you.

med after the Spanish Ameri-

pecially concerned with the
problems of veterans claims in

and disabilities not readily han

They are concerned with con-
gressional lobbying, intense
voter awareness and the pre-
vention of the gradual erosion

tion in the coming year to the

tion Hospitals and review the
