Well Ladies and Gentlemen, be rest assured that this stuff happens all over the world. Here in Germany we have them too. My favorite is the guy that calls every 2 to 3 months trying to get me to buy Laser Printer Toner that is supposed to last longer than 5 normal ones but 1 cartridge costs FOUR TIMES as much as the stuff I normally order for my firm.

Me "But how is my printer going to know it has your super toner in it? It is still going to use the same amount of powder.."

Him "But Mr Adams if you order just one you will see I'm telling the truth and if it doesn't last as long I'll give you your money back."

Me "How am I to know if it lasts as long as 5 times longer? Tell you what send me one for free and let me test it, if it lasts 5 times longer like you say I'll buy a bunch of them and if not it saves you the return shipping and banking costs."

Him "I can't do that Mr Adams"

Me "And I refuse to order something that I am sure is bogus." Good day *click*

And sure enough 2 to 3 months from now the telephone rings and its the same guy pretending he has never talked to me before [img]tongue.gif[/img]
