  A few weeks ago some place called Prize Headquarters told me that I won
a diamond ring and could I please send them $2.00 for the cost of shipping.
Well, I figured the ring would be worth about $1.00, but if nothing esle,
I could give it to my 5 year old cousin who would be thrilled to have 
thing even resembling a diamond ring.  Now the place wants me to send
them another letter for address varification.  They sent me so much junk
already that I gave up losing stamps.  The last time they wanted me to
subscribe to some strange magazine.  
  Anyone know this place?  As of my last back statement, they still haven't
cashed the $2.00 check.  I am getting alot of even worse junk lately.
One place actually asked me to send cash through the mail... sure!  I
just got a VISA.  Do you think they are selling my name?
