The first thing came to my mind was "YEAH, RIGHT!"
I being a technical person I am, found a link in the email leading to a site called TripleHFunding.
So I went to the site and it has no info on it. Just a login button and a few out of date computers w / specs on the site with links to apply for a loan. So I figure this is their site.
There are no prices what so ever except for a Dell Latitude Laptop offer. Offer my a$! Here are the specs for the technically sound:
