ha, i wonder if any stores fell for it...
Ignatius @ Apr 24th 2008 7:37PM
Well, either that or some stores just don't care. It's already out in the retail world in places.
klitorisaurus @ Apr 24th 2008 8:28PM
I wish my stores just didn't care.

Shocking! queue the :O face.

haha I have to say the person that tried this stunt had some huevos! And I am sure some retailers fell for it, do all of them strike you like brain surgeons? ;)

Plz retailers fall for this. I want gta4 bad.
Neebs @ Apr 24th 2008 7:53PM
Well for one, you never write a business letters with
Dear name comma, its always with a colon. Not to mention the signing of the name is inconsistent and incorrect both times.
colin @ Apr 25th 2008 9:50AM
i am staring at a business letter addressed to myself ... it reads "Dear Colin, ..." so yeah, there are rules, but they are not always followed
klitorisaurus @ Apr 24th 2008 8:06PM
Shhhhh..... don't tell the retailers.

Whatever, I'm taking one of these to WalMart, showing it t the person at the electronics desk, and asking him to check the back room for stock.

Remember kids, that fraud is only fun when you take advantage of minimum wage register jockeys or Omnicorp itself.
Double points for accomplishing both at the same time!
BIGGEN @ Apr 25th 2008 5:56AM
having with that, oh, and getting your LIVE or PSN account shut down, whichever the case may be
BIGGEN @ Apr 25th 2008 5:57AM
meant HAVE FUN WITH THAT....geezus
Dr. @ Apr 24th 2008 8:17PM
My god, that first one is terrible. At least try and make it sound official...
Chris @ Apr 24th 2008 8:27PM
EXACTLY! They put a "TM" next to GTAIV. Really, guys? Really?
nmezib @ Apr 24th 2008 8:30PM
whoever wrote the second did did a very good job. The legalese almost foolerized me.
the first one, however, was so badly written and put together I had to laugh. A lot.
tc @ Apr 25th 2008 5:50AM
i think it falls apart in the third paragraph, lots of ill-advised repetition really.
Spunk Buster 8000 @ Apr 24th 2008 8:40PM
I just hope me store fell for it, but im in the UK and im sure they didnt do this in the UK but i might just email this to my retailer!
Dave @ Apr 25th 2008 12:49AM
GENIUS.
John McPoop @ Apr 25th 2008 12:52AM
Now thats devotion ...
Young_Nastyman @ Apr 25th 2008 1:24AM
they did such a good job on wording the second one that they forgot to make the signatures look different. They're identical, lol
Bill Pullman @ Apr 25th 2008 1:07PM
in the first one, "separate" is spelled wrong. would a spell-checker have killed these guys? both are pathetic forgeries full of mistakes and poor grammar. not even close to a nice try.
