I don't know about the OfficeMax offer, but I followed a recent
post and picked up the same deal at CompUSA.  The deal is legit.
It had (expired May 3rd) specific requirements about photo copying
the receipt, signing a form, and mailing back by May 17, and 
they may take many weeks for the money (8-10, but I usually
find that is on the high side).  But its from Hauppauge, I
certainly don't think its any type of scam.
