My Step-Daughter, Rachel Harries Acc#xxx19225, ordered a IBM Computer from this Clearing House and I paid for it. When it arrived I noticed that it was a pentium II instead of a pentium IV processing unit. I paid 479.81 for the computer with also a $500.00 coupon so, the cost of the computer is now $979.81 plus a $25.00 holding cost. According to what I found out pentium II's are out of date and are hardly being used and to their knowlege cannot be sold as new ones. Also there was no information that we could find for the Centeral processing unit that gave the type or who to contact in case of things like this happening as there is no phone numbers for contacts to correct this problem. I would like some answers and learn what has happened to the computer we were to be getting and not a rip-off. I hope this can be resoulved.

Fraud? What Do You Mean?

AUTHOR: Aarion - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 19, 2003

This is my second commentary to those who are not familiar with the program at Sweepstakes Clearinghouse. I am not affiliated with SCH or any of their subsidiaries, however, I have been a customer of SCH for the last 8 years. I have never had a problem with an order. In fact, I have moved several times to different states over the last 10 years and they have not missed a beat with updating my information and getting my orders correct.

The computer system that Keith is referring to is the IBM Thinkpad laptop which is a very good quality system although the technology being offered is old. The system comes with a standard Pentium II chip clocked at 366mhz (megahertz) with a 4 gigabyte drive. I have the same model, but with a 166mhz processor and it runs MS Windows XP Professional! I am a system security specialist, so dealing with computers comes "second nature". There was no rip-off, only a simple misunderstanding. The laptop is worth about $350, but they obviously have to make a profit. A rip-off only exists if you have (and understand) all of the facts, but get something different from what was advertised or promised. *Also,you don't count the $500 coupon because it has no value. That is a simple marketing strategy!
