Title: Oven door passed off as flat-screen TV in scam
Post by: Foxy Brown on April 04, 2006, 04:19:46 AM

An unsuspecting woman purchased a "flat-screen television set" at a bargain price, the package even bubble-wrapped and complete with cord and controller.

But when the street consumer returned home that February day with her "steal" of a product, she was likely steamed.

"It was actually an oven door inside the package," explained South Bend Detective Sgt. Jim Walsh. (http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060401/News01/604010304/CAT=News01)
