Send a Thank You Letter to the Troops
If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.
This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.
Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

(This list is current as of October 31, 2008. Readers should take into consideration the importance of the practice in question and the total performance of the company. For complete information, please visit www.bbb.org. If you hear of something that sounds too good to be true, give us a call first and we'll check it out for you. Consumers and businesses are often our direct link to scams occurring in and around northern Indiana.)
1. Craigs Listoperates Internet classifieds, personals (with every match possibility), job postings, items for sale, discussion forums, resumes, etc. They state they have the right "to change, modify or otherwise alter" their terms and conditions "at any time." They also state, "We may charge a fee to post content in some areas of service." A Hoosier said he paid $1.95 for information and then was charged $39.90 monthly. He told BBB that he never saw anything about charges until the company pointed to the "fine print." This San Francisco company has the BBB's lowest rating because of unanswered complaints.
2. Cash 4 Goldis advertising on TV. They state they will pay consumers cash for unwanted gold. One consumer mailed her gold fillings and was promised $300. She didn't get it. The company advertises they are accredited through the BBB. They are NOT! And you can bet the BBB is pursuing this issue. This Florida company has 149 complaints, 133 are about the company not performing as they claimed.
