Assumptions

By Anonymous - 25/09/2009 12:54 - United States

Today, I received an envelope from Verizon. I assumed it was my bill. I opened it and saw a Visa credit card offer so I quickly snapped it in half to prevent identity theft. Only after playing with the pieces for 10 minutes did I realize that it was the $100 rebate for my new phone. FML

What exactly was your thought process? I'm thinking either: "QUICK! Somebody could come into my house, rip the credit card offer out of my hands, run out and go redeem it in my name! I better snap it in half (because that's completely irreparable and would foil the thief) before reading it!" Or: "QUICK! I've opened the envelope so now spy satellites can see it through the window! I better snap it in half (so they can't see it anymore because spy satellites don't actually record anything they see) before reading it!"

Cuz I totally have respect for the opinion of someone as visibly intelligent as you. Verizon has a great network, yes. But they SUPPORT destroying the environment. As an environmental studies major, I could never bring myself to support a company with such beliefs. I'm not telling you or anyone else that they're wrong for having Verizon service, but I'm simply letting you know the facts. And I really have absolutely no idea what the **** you said to me. You just look like a dumbass.

You mean a rally against cap and trade correct (Friends of America)? Their are many assumptions you have made including the effect the bill would actually have on the environment and on the overall quality of life of Americans. To say something so conclusive so fast as anti-environmental is misleading to say the least; next time try mentioning what it is more accurately against regardless of your position and how sure you are on those facts.

Even if it was a credit card, why would you 'quickly snap' it? Was there a shady looking character behind you that was asking for your personal information so he could steal it?

To the people who say "Why would Verizon send you a credit card": You people are idiots, certain companies send you a PRE-PAID credit card instead of a cheque. To the OP: Buy things online, like a regular person.

A rebate/debit card is different than what the OP was concerned about, and very different than what they thought they'd been sent. Regardless, no phone company, ever, would send someone a card attached to an actual, social-security-number-liked, credit history influencing, honest-to-god line of credit.

YDI. That was completely your fault. A credit card OFFER isn't a way to get your identity. They send fake credit cards in the mail with the offers, they clearly say that they are not real, so they won't actually work.... I guess you'd better start gluing those rebate card pieces back together. :)

I hate how they give those credit cards instead of just a regular check! And then if you want to redeem it and don't completely use all the money on it, you need to know how much is still on the card for the next time, so annoying!!

thats exactly what im sayin. The only reason this is a fml is cuz the op is too stupid to realize the words rebate on the card. I got a 50 dollar one for my phone. Just put it back together.........
