I can't help but feel a little sad when I read this. I don't like scammers, but I do feel sorry for this guy. The quality of the carvings is actually quite high and I wonder how much money he paid out, not only in postage & packing, but in getting those carvings done.

I'm all for scamming the scammers, but I think it's really cruel to make them pay out a lot of money for a scam - most are really poor and probably will not make any money out of what they are doing.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Thoughts?

Totally agree Feline, it's an odd world we live in.

He has certainly taken it to the extreme, but If the guy is ripping people off or attempting to, then I have no sympathy at all.
I am going to use the link at my and see what my lot think.

Actually, I've just read the update at the bottom of the page - apparently he is making about $45,000 a month from his scams. I don't feel quite so sorry for him any more :roll:
