Aneone ever get a rebate for something they didn't buy?

So, Fry's grand opening sale in Chicago was a few months ago. The rebates are just starting to come in, and I got one from the Express group from Walled Lake, MI. Here is what it says on the rebate:
$10 One For All Remote @ Fry's

I never bought an all in one remote from Fry's. I have a $150 universal remote I got for my B-Day, so there would be no need for me to buy an all in one remote.

I looked on the express group's website, and put in my info, and sure enough it says that rebate qualified...

I'm thinking that the rebate place screwed up, and maybe gave me that rebate instead of some other rebate. I should probably call them and try to find out. :|

I got 6 free DVD's once from a Sony MIR. I kind of cheated though, since I worked at the place. I took the UPC code from the floor model box, wrung up the sale using a friend's name, photocopied the receipt, sent it in w/ UPC and got my dvd's. Not my most ethical move.

I did the same thing a bunch of years back to get free tickets to great America...
