A couple of teenagers in my area thought they were getting a great surprise gift from Littleton. Wow! I can get a $2 bill for only one dollar! ("I'm going to get as many as I can and make some great money.") The neighbors are already tired of the 12-15 year olds talking about their treasure trove of $2 notes going to fill their mailbox. They've slightly altered their first and last name, so to give the impression that many different people live in that particular house.
What they've already done is using their parent's $0.66 stamp to request more offers, so their actual "profit" is $0.34. I had to break the news to them several times and perhaps they've finally decided to try something else.
Nice try, but.....
