Can anyone tell me if this is true? Sounds too easy....

Someone at work forwarded this to me. Can anyone verify if this works?

If You Get a Traffic Ticket

Just thought I would share this with you, as I work in the ticket
enforcement division and in the course of my investigation into "fines,
their payment methods, and how points are assessed against drivers
licenses" we discovered something very interesting. If you get a traffic
ticket, this has been tried and it works. I tried to send this to everyone
I know. I know that for a fact this works, so if you ever get in this
situation, you have an out. We discovered that this
procedure works in every state. Read it and try it, you have nothing to
lose but the points on your license.

This is how it works:

If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the
case may be, and you are going to get points on your license, then there is
a method to ensure that you DO NOT get any points. When you get your fine,
send in the check to pay for it and if the fine is say, $79, then make the
check out for $82 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then
have to send you back a check for the difference, but here is the trick!


***DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK!!!***


Throw it away! Points are not assessed to your license until all financial
transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the
transactions are NOT complete. However, the system has gotten its money and
is happy and will not bother you any more. This information came to our
attention from a very reliable computer company that sets up the standard
database
used by each state's DMV.

Good luck and share this with all your friends and other family members.

Since this is the umpteenth time I've seen this. I would think that if it ever were true. The powers that be would have fixed the problem by now.

If it's to good to be true, it probably isn't.... ANYMORE. Because people can't keep their F#$%ing mouths shut about a good thing.

Does anyone remember the famous BUY.COM 17" monitor fiasco?
