$150 for a plasma TV? A bad bet
A new Internet-era quick-money scheme has caught fire. Dozens of Web sites have popped up promising high-ticket electronic gadgets for pennies on the dollar. One promises a free laptop computer to anyone willing to pony up $50 for an electronic book. At another site, purchase of a $500 CD-ROM buys a chance to win $4,650 or a free plasma television. But there’s a catch: There may be only one winner for every 50 buyers. The sites claim they’re legitimate, but legal experts warn otherwise.
