I was contacted via regular mail be a company called Sweepstakes Clearinghouse. They sent me a brochure with several items for me to purchase. Also enclosed was several $400 credit vouchers that I could only use with them for the purchase price of the item making it a lot cheaper. I liked the 9" Android Tablet that they had for sale. Regularly price the ad said that it was $529.95, so with the $400 discount it knocked the total price down to $129.95 plus S&H. It sounded like a good deal to me for a birthday gift for my teenage son. I read all of the information in the advertisement & it said that I could put this item on lay-a-way and only have to pay $10 per month, plus $1 per month service charge, but it was interest free. So I ordered my tablet and waited for two weeks & received a letter stating that they wanted the balance due of $157.95 before they would ship me the tablet. None of their ad said anything about my not getting the tablet until it was paid in full. By the time that I got it paid off it would be after my son's birthday. Also I thought that to charge me $29.00 for S&H was high also. Needless to say I didn't send them anymore money! Paulette Columbia, Mo
