Why do they say "up to $25" and then suggest       that        >e funds would be greater "if there is money left over"?              Like those offers that talk about, "Up to $500 and more.."              Or worse, like they say, "Up to $100,000 insurance coverage starting       as low as $20 a month.." And later you find out that the $20 plan       only gives you $10,000 coverage..              A friend of mine signed up for one of those over the phone expecting       that $20 cost, but when the actual policy came it was almost $400 /mo.              No doubt she missed something in the sales pitch but I'd wager the       sellers are trained to fool people into doing that..              ---        * SLMR Rob * Keyboard: A device used to enter errors into a computer        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 712/848       SEEN-BY: 902/26 2320/0 105 304 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
