  1. Hi,

    I saw an ad by Vital Basics, a free bottle of "Focus Factor" if I pay $4.95 shipping. I called to
    order the free bottle. The person took my credit card number, address, etc. before I was told
    "the rest of the story". I told the person to cancel my order. I told him that I did not want the
    "free" bottle, and I regret making the call. Eventually, he said that he would take care of it. A
    half hour later, I called my credit card company and discovered that the order was processed!!!!!

    REMEMBER: When something seems "too good to be true", it usually is.

    Tip for your old computer (reduce discard pollution too):

    If you can't sell your old computer, don't throw it away. Use it to backup your software by
    transferring files/folders from your new computer or laptop to it. I transferred my Windows
    folder and other stuff to my old computer using "PC Link", which I downloaded from www.simtel.net
    (cool site).

  2. Return the bottle and ask for a refund.
