Re: Cyberspace.com, LLC - This is a scam. (THIS IS NOT A JOKE)

Al,

AT&T has been doing that very thing here in California for over a year.
They will send you a real check in the amount of $50.00.  If you endorse the
check and cash it, you have authorized them to take over your local long
distance calls from Pacific Bell!!!  I have seen three of these in the last
year!!!

What a rotten way to do biz!

Regards,

Mike Shaw
