Fahner today warned Illinois consumers of an apparent gasoline rebate scheme advertised in some newspapers. The ad­ vertisements, placed in newspapers by an organization known as the Retail Oil association, promises 50 cents per gallon rebates on gasoline, diesel oil, propane and home heating oil. The ad­ vertisements imply that the rebates are available from a government program. However, investigation of state and federal energy programs have shown no such rebate exists. The consumer, in order to participate in the rebate program, fills out a form and returns it with ar $5 fee for "postage, processing and instructions" to the Retail Oil association, at a post office box in Heflin, Ala., and allows six to eight weeks for processing. Investigations conducted by the Alabama attorney general's office and U.S. postal inspectors have been unable to find any in­ formation regarding the central office for the association or any in­ formation on any individuals owning or controlling the operation. Attorney General Fahner said postal authorities were successful in obtaining an injunction against the Retail Oil association from receiving mail at the ad­ dress provided in the ad­ vertisement, but that further court action will be required to return letters with money to consumers. Attorney General Fahner requests that consumers and newspapers contact the Consumer Protection division if they have lost money or have additional information which will help locate the perpetrators of this scheme.
