AUSTIN - The Texas Trade Up Appliance Rebate Program began and ended on April 7, with nearly 39,000 rebate reservations made before funding was used up.

State Comptroller Susan Combs called the response unprecedented. A staff of 550 answered an estimated 1,000 calls per minute from Texans who wanted a break on the cost of replacing certain functioning household appliances with more efficient Energy Star­rated appliances. The rebate Web site received 39 million hits at a rate of 2,400 per second.

"Regrettably, we were only given approximately $23 million to implement and administer the rebate program in a state of this size, and there were some people ' who were not able to get through in time to reserve a guaranteed rebate," Combs said.

Meanwhile, Combs plans to investigate what appears to have

been a Web attack that flooded the online reservation system early in the day, using nearly 75 percent of the available capacity.

Beware of Census-season scams Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on April 8 encouraged residents to participate in the 20 I 0 U.S. Census, but said to watch out for identity theft scams that might be attempted by thieves posing as U.S, Census Bureau employees.

,;Census employees will be clear~y identified with a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice, Abbott said, and one should always look for identification from Census takers before opening the door and agreeing to provide personal information.

Abbott said "con artists are using the program as an opportunity to swindle people out of their hard­earned money and even their identities."
