Bellflower citizen letters warn of fake contests and faulty refunds
A reader warns about win-a-sewing-machine scams tied to discount certificates and cabinet or service contracts. Another letter recounts a PTA mimeograph purchase in 1972 for 105 dollars, a buyback offer at 75 dollars, and an unresolved refund from Bonelli Typewriter Co as Bradford moved between firms. A follow‑up cites a faulty fuel issue at Gemco station on Artesia Boulevard, suspecting adulterated gas and unresponsive management after 13 April.
