HOW TO GET FREE (unlimited) BOOKSTORE CREDIT IN 4-8 WEEKS
BY: DIzzIE [c]opyleft2003
What?
This simple scam involves browsing freebie sites for free book offers, ordering the books, and then taking advantage of lenient ‘no receipt then store credit’ policies adopted by the vast majority of bookstores to ‘return’ the books, thus receiving store credit to buy whichever books you want.
How?
No extra clarification is needed, as the ‘What?’ was fairly self explanatory. Simply proceed to your favourite search engine (such as http://www.google.com) and search for free book offers (i.e. something along the lines of ‘book freebies,’ ‘order free books,’ etc.). Fill out the order forms and wait the 4-8 weeks (standard waiting time) for the books to arrive. Use this time to call local bookstores and ask what their return policy is for books without a receipt. As already stated, most bookstores give store credit for books returned without a receipt. For example, Mary Ellen Keating, a Barnes & Noble spokeswoman, stated: “On the store side, we have always had a lenient policy about taking books back from anywhere as long as they are in pristine condition.” And the Borders Books Return Policy states: “Merchandise unaccompanied by the original Borders store receipt, or presented for return beyond 30 days from date of purchase, must be carried by Borders at the time of the return. The lowest price offered for the item during the 12 month period prior to the return will be refunded via a gift card.” Finally, as the title of this text suggests, you may order the books numerous times, thus this is truly an unlimited scam opportunity (depending on how many different sites you can find and how many times you can order from the same site (by using a proxy, if needed, and customer name variations the options are sky-high)
