Dialing for Dollars, item #841324
Product Description: Telemarketing fraud costs Americans millions of dollars each year. And when it comes to phony investment "opportunities," older Americans are prime targets. This free 15 minute DVD tells the story of such a scam and the lives that are ruined by these criminals.

Work at Home Scam, item #841375
Product Description: Working from home has become attractive to many stay-at-home moms, college students and retirees. While some of the jobs are legitimate, others just don't deliver on their promises.

you will need to set up an account at shop.usps.com, and provide a credit card, however, the DVDs and shipping and handling are free, it seems to fill in a dummy credit card number on your order confirm.

Ok. mods can you change the title to "3 Free U.S. Postal Service DVDs!"
I don't wanna be accused of breaking anyone's heart!
Anyway, I'll post a review if I get them...I really like those "Educational Archive" DVDs of old training and public service films....

If you haven't gotten an order confirm, log in to your account and check your order status, if there's nothing there, you didn't place the order. Chances are the problem is that you need to enter your credit card before submitting the order.
When you get to the page, marked "Confirmation", you will need to go to the section marked "Review Payment and Shipping Information", then click on "Please enter information in the Payment Information Page", once you have entered it, then hit "Continue" and then submit the order on the "Confirmation" page. As I noted in the first post, your credit card won't be charged, it seems to fill in the order confirm with a dummy number, but it won't take the order without it.

As misterchimpy said, I needed to go thru the "Please enter information in the Payment Information Page" in order to get this to work, even though I was already a USPS on-line customer (I've ordered stamps thru there before, so they already had my credit card info on file). I tried to place this order two days ago without success, but today clicked thru the Payment Information page and the order went through and posted to my account. I didn't have to make any changes to the Payment Information, but apparently they want you to look at it!
Thanks for the tip!

I ordered on Feb. 6. and I still haven't received these.
When I check the on-line order history, it shows the order, but there's no ship date listed. I've sent them a request for status and I'll let you know what I find out.
