Ever see those wordy 2-page ads in Parade in the Sunday paper
advertising those heaters "made by Amish craftsmen" and you see the pic
of some people purporting to be Amish busily working on these things? Or
how about the obviously photoshopped images of a cat sitting on one?
Sure they probably work, but they're not made by anyone Amish.
How about the latest scam? "Rare" $2 bill honoring the 50 states, first
starting with New York?
Those $2 bills are also sold by Suarez Corp. The address for this place
is 8000 Freedom Avenue, North Canton, OH 44720. In fact, they place a
lot of wordy 2-page ad spreads in various places. The products are
expensive, and frequently like the $2 bill I mentioned, a rip-off scam.
Don't buy their products!! This also goes for all those TV ads where you
can call toll free and for $20 you can change your life with a product
you didn't know you needed. Those commercials annoy me. I would say buy
only those that still show Billy Mays.
But the rest of them are just stupid. There's the Red X over stuff.
People nod a lot. The Bark Off commercial is annoying because you can
tell the dogs in the commercials are clearly looking at the trainer.
Same with the Potty Patch one. You never see a dog using it in that one,
and they're clearly just doing what the trainer is getting them to do.
That dual draft guard thing has annoying door closing sound effects
which it doesn't need - especially when you hear it twice for what's
obviously a split screen of the same damn door closing once!!
Or ones that say the offer is available "to the first 100 callers in
this area" when it's a nationally broadcast cable channel!!! I also hate
21st Century Insurance. "Attention drivers STATEWIDE." Why is it just
Statewide? How big is this state? The right world is NATIONWIDE. And
check that toll free number they want you to call. It changes a lot!
OK, so why is the Suarez $2 bill a fake? It's not authorized by the U.S.
Mint. For New York, the Federal Reserve bank isn't in Atlanta, GA, so
the seal wouldn't have an F in the middle. There are twelve Fed banks
around the US, but not one in New York, so the closest I think they'd
get would be A for Boston or B for Philadelphia, if I remember that
right. D is Cleveland, that I remember.
But then bills are issued by all the Fed Banks, but I'd think they'd get
this one to the banks closest to New York, or at least issue them in
some similar order to the 50 State Quarters, but do your checking.
They're fake.
It's the latest scam by Suarez Corp. Check the address, pass the word,
stop buying their crap and put them out of business!
