WARNING: THE LATEST INTERNET SCAM !
The latest Internet scam includes *FREE SOFTWARE* that can be downloaded
to view *Live Models* who perform for you, but there can be HIDDEN
COSTS! It has been reported that in at least one case, the software
disconnected the modem speaker, then redialed a new server outside the
country at rates as much as $4.99 PER MINUTE. This outrageous amount is
billed directly to your telephone bill! Because the modem speaker was
turned off in the software, the user never even knew their modem had
redialed. Recently, there has been talk that using JavaScripts, it may
be possible for software (from ANY Web Page) to take over your modem
without you even making a request to download *Free Software*.

PROTECT YOURSELF NOW !
Each time your modem picks up to dial, our *PHONE WATCHER* will BEEP!
The *PHONE WATCHER* alerts you each and every time your modem is dialing
a new number. You can react instantly before any long distance or
international telephone calls are placed.

For only $7.95 (plus shipping and handling) you will be sent an
information package on how to build the *PHONE WATCHER* using less than
a dozen electronic parts available from any local electronics store for
under $20. The project can be constructed with little or no knowledge
of electronics in as little as an hour, even for the beginner! The
*PHONE WATCHER* information package will include a parts list, complete
detailed diagrams, schematics, and full details on how to build the
*PHONE WATCHER*. If not COMPLETELY satisfied, simply return the entire
package for a refund (less shipping & handling).

PROTECT YOURSELF TODAY !
Send $7.95 plus $2.00 (Shipping and Handling)
with your Name & Address to:
PHONE WATCHER
P.O. BOX 91
MOGADORE, OHIO 44260
