    If there's one thing I've learned in life, you don't mess with the Library of Congress Office of Investigations.

    They'll take you down, and take you down hard !!! :eek:

    A quick google search shows the phone number is correct.

    "Pamela Hawe" also appears to be a real person, as per this snippet of a press release- "In announcing the guilty plea, U.S. Attorney Taylor commended the outstanding investigative work of Library of Congress Office of the Inspector General Special Agents Donya Jackson and Pamela Hawe"
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Can someone copy and paste it here? My eBay account is all bungled up at the moment and I can't log in.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Q: This item is still the property of the U.S. Government, specifically the Library of Congress, and cannot legally be sold. This player was loaned out to a participant in the LC Talking Books Program, and should have been returned to the LC when no longer needed. Please telephone the Oklahoma State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped at (800) 523-0288 to arrange its return. They will send you a postage paid box in which to return it. You may view more information about this Federal program at www.loc.gov/nls. Thank you. Pamela Hawe Library of Congress, Office of Investigations 202/707-2064 pdeg@loc.gov

    A: Hi Pam, I can't get through to that #. Would you please send me the postage paid box so I can do the right thing and return this non working/dead format device to it's rightful owner on the taxpayers dime? I would appreciate it! Regards, G

    Evidently it's no joke.....I actually called the # the woman provided just to humor myself and they do indeed want this cassette player back. I'm waiting for someone in the "machine room" to return my call.

    I wonder if they will reimburse me the buck I spent to acquire this item?:D



    I ended the item.....the pressure was overwhelming! I'm probably on some terrorist watch list now!

    That's crazy. They must search Ebay every day for certain LOC keywords. How else would that come up on her radar?
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    How much of our tax dollars goes to..........awe, never mind. That's part of the forbidden.
