The Better Business Bureau of
Metropolitan New York has warn
ed area residents to be on the
lookout for phony Christmas bo
nus “checks" which are being
mailed by a Brooklyn furniture
firm to promote the sale of mer
chandise.
The BBB revealed that the en
velopes containing the checks are
almost Identical to the brown
manila envelopes used for mail
ing authentic government checks.
In bold capital letters, the en
velope’s return address states
/’Treasury Division.” On the next
line, in letters about one - fifth
as large appears the name of a
credit corporation.
Envelope Opened
When the envelope is opened,
the check Is seen to be a "Christ
mas Bonus Check" made out to
the recipient in the amount of
$50, simulating the kind of raised
type produced by a checkwriter
machine. The check contains the
statement that it is good until
December 28. 1963.
When examined closely, small
er, less obtrusive lettering states
that the $50 check can only be ap
plied toward the purchase of $500
worth of furniture from the spec
ified furniture store. If leas mer
chandise is going to be purchas
ed, the value of the check drops
on a sliding scale: $40 against
the purchase of $400 worth of
merchandise, $30 for $300 worth
Investigations of similar promo
tions by the Better Business Bu
reau have Invariably shown that
such credit checks are worth
less. Prices are either raised to
compensate for the promotion or
it is found that a consumer can
get the sanye merchandise with
or without the "bonus check."
