When I got to the website, there was a contest where I could enter my info and have the opportunity to receive a coupon off of a laser treatment. Today, I got on and check my email and I got one from someone by the name of ';Cortney Williams'; telling me that I've won.
This is what the email says:

GOODBYE RAZOR HELLO LASER!';
So, it seems like a great offer, and I'd really like to take it up. However, I'm afraid that this may be just a scam or something I should be watching out for. You know, I don't want to end up as one of those people you see on Oprah crying about what the fake or inexperienced surgeon did to their skin and body.
What do you guys think? Should I do it?Coupons for surgery? ?
NO. Coupons for surgery? ?
American Laser Centers is a legitimate company. Coupons with a high redeemable value are commonplace in the skin clinic/ hair removal industry. I am in the direct mail business, and several of my clients are in that industry, and run similar offers (although American Laser is not a client of mine). The industry has been hard hit by the economic downturn, and they are running pretty aggressive offers.
I don't see any reason to think it is a scam. You should at least look into it, if you need laser hair removal.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO GO WITH YOUR GUT AND STAY AWAY.REMEMBER IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS!
