It was a false claim, in my case. Totally false. It is not offering me
anything, but the e-mail said it was. Is there a difference between a
false claim and a lie? Well, obviously I am pissed, and I am choosing
that word because I am pissed. If it will make you feel better, I will
say that STC made a false claim to me.
