(There is an Anping Wire Mesh Co. and the address and phone numbers are right. That much is true ~ as well as the blurb about their products ~ however, their email contact is something else entirely. But, unlike the email, their website is correctly written and they seem to be proud of the markets they have already developed ~ I'm quite sure that picking complete strangers at random on the internet isn't how they've accomplished that.

And, folks, do you always give out so much personal information to complete strangers who apparently pick you at random from the internet and promise you oodles and boodles of money? Didn't yer mom ever tell you not to talk to strangers?

Does anyone else wonder why her first email address is based in Argentina and not China?)

So How Come?

My photo
I have two blogs at the moment - Here Be Dragons which is devoted to rental scams primarily sourced through Craigslist although the proliferation of free ad sites has widened the hunting grounds. Many additions come from other sources (ie: blogs/anti-scam sites/online community ad sites) or are provided by people who want to share their experiences. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch is for copies of scammail that I find in my mailboxes ~ sometimes I can't resist the odd acerbic comment but for the most part I post 'em because the more that people do, the fewer fools they get to gull. Dunno what to say about me that would be very interesting ~ I'm a granny who reads, gardens and crafts as the mood strikes me. :) I don't particularly care for the social predators on this planet and this blog is part of my way of saying so.
