Maybe that's an idea the US Government should adopt. It wouldn't be possible for Bush and Cheney to sign that many receipts that fast, but if nothing else it would give them something constructive to occupy their time.

Dennis ..and that's only part of the scam.. they also advertise for agents world wide...I did hear of one company that set up a web site telling everyone about the great range of glass they will soon be importing form china...then .....they found out the hard way after parting with cash ..how easily they had been taken with this conDennis Brady wrote:Here's another scam - but from China not Nigeria.
Email offered to sell me art glass at appealling low prices. They sent an impressive collection of photos of their glass that looks almost exactly like a mix of Bullseye, Uroborus and Youghieghenny - but at about 20% of the cost. They propose sending me a 300 pieces sample set and only ask for my credit card no. to pay the $75. freight for that sample set.

The China thing is not neccesarily a scam. China has of course a burgeoning glass industry and are making inroads into nearly every supplier niche. If they offered to send me free samples I'd sure take them up on it. The thing is you'll never get your customers to stop buying cheap Chinese finished glass. So you might as well give yourself an advantage by going offshore for supplies and raw materials. If you can't beat em join em.
