Dear
Sunbelt Customer,
Recent developments
regarding legal issues with Horoscope and Phone cards have
positively been proven in the Superior Court in Los Angeles County
California.
On July 6th, 2006, ABC
Officers seized Horoscope and Phone cards from a machine at Big
Dog Ale House in El Segundo, California. Sunbelt immediately came
to the defense of the owners in regard to this seizure. The law
firm of Lenske, Lenske & Abramson was called to defend the
legality of the cards in question. Sunbelt has used this law firm
for a number of years and originally hired them to do a legal
opinion for the state of California regarding our Sweepstakes
cards.
After several trial
postponements on the basis of the DA not being prepared, we
finally got our day in court on March 14, 2007.
After a brief
presentation by our attorney Bita Azimi, the judge asked the
Deputy District Attorney about the case and she moved to dismiss
the charges due to "insufficient evidence". "It doesn't appear to
be illegal under the statute," she said.
The case was dismissed
and we are operating under the law just as we have said from the
beginning of operations in California. A great victory for
customers and Sunbelt as a Distributor. Please contact me through
email or call for a copy of the court proceedings.
Some of our competitors
have been spreading rumors about our cards not being legal and
that only theirs are because of the differences in the phone time.
This is nothing more than a marketing ploy as the amount of phone
time was never questioned. They are now feeling threatened by our
recent victory in court and this has given Sunbelt an advantage in
the fact that our cards HAVE BEEN PROVEN LEGAL!
Don't be taken in by
lures of cheap cards with extra minutes on them. Investigate the
phone time provider and make sure it is a reputable company that
pays tariffs and taxes in the state of California. Also ask them
if they have legal representation with a solid law firm. Sunbelt
has been in the business of promoting products and services with
sweepstakes for over 10 years. Our experience can be your
assurance of a professional, reputable company to do business
with, not the "here today gone tomorrow" concept.
Remember that Sunbelt
hires only the expert law firms who can defend their cards and
make sure of their legality. Our cards may cost more, but isn't it
worth the price to sleep at night not worrying about legal issues?
Sunbelt is here to stay and grow the business for you the
customer. We will continue to market our products heavily
throughout the entire state of California and with your help make
it successful for all of those involved.
We are committed to
give you the best cards, service and legal backing if needed.
Sincerely,

Mike “Jake” Kroeger
Director of Sales and Marketing
