FBI arrests 8 in fraud scheme targeting McDonald's game
August 21, 2001 Posted: 7:28 PM EDT (2328 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI on Tuesday arrested eight people allegedly involved in a scheme to defraud the McDonald's Corp. of some $13 million by rigging several of the fast food company's promotional games since as early as 1995.


And one of the co-conspirators was from where?

Brenda S. Phenis, 50, of Fair Play, South Carolina

And let's not even get into that last name...

[here in S.E. Asia, Phuket is NOT pronounced like it looks, but Poo-ket -- use that rule on poor Brenda's last name]

Cheers,

Tony
