	SSN abuse - a new variant
============================================

in the Austin Shopping Guide of Sept 21, 83, page 35 (a "free" ad-rag)
is a 1-page ad:

WIN  $50.00  in the Austin Shopping Guide's Social Security Sweepstakes Contest

They want your SSN and don't say what they will do with it.

Makes me angry because I am paranoid and fear the WORST.

I sit legal ?  Can anything done about it ?
