Search Advertising PSAs in Bing Alert Consumers to Scammer Threat Online

Microsoft Corp., in collaboration with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) and Western Union, today launched a series of online public service announcements (PSAs) designed to help protect consumers from scams related to mortgage foreclosure rescue offers and promises of credit repair and advance fee fraud, also known as lottery scams. The search advertising-driven PSAs will appear on Bing, Microsoft's new search experience, and will target consumers most vulnerable to these types of Internet crimes -- putting valuable and trustworthy information directly into the hands of those who need it most. By including this information within the search experience itself, these organizations aim to remind consumers to be on alert at precisely the moment they may likely be faced with scams.

George Barris Signing Autographs at Mecum St. Charles Auction

"King of the Kustomizers" George Barris will be onsite to sign autographs and share stories at Mecum's St. Charles Auction at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Ill., on Oct. 2-3, 2009.

Barris will drive his custom-built 1969 AMC AMX-400 Coupe (Lot S105) across the block when Mecum auctions it on Sat., Oct. 3, at 2:25 p.m. during its live television series, "Mecum Auto Auction: Muscle Cars & More" on Discovery Communications' HD Theater.

"The AMC AMX-400 was a concept car we developed during the time when American Motors was building special AMX vehicles," said George Barris. "Our goal was to make it aerodynamic yet retain its muscle car appearance. The car has been restored and would be a great daily driver for any enthusiast to add to their car collection."
