Scam: Arthro-C "Native Copper Nuggets"

[theoldwolf]

More material for the P.T. Barnum File. This one also posted from "Budapest" if the envelope is to be believed.








For only $98.00, these scumbags will send you two tiny pieces of copper, currently $4.24 per pound at spot price. This racket from the Netherlands makes it worth about 20 times that. I can't walk over to Amsterdam and slap the hqizmongers to Reggio Calabria and back, but I can post this in case anyone else wonders if there is any "negative publicity" about the NutriMagn' Institute.

It is estimated that $40 billion per year is lost by the elderly to fraudulent telemarketers and solicitations of this nature, money that they could be using to make themselves comfortable in their twilight years.

Do all you can to help protect your loved ones from scams of this nature!

Magnetic osmosis.

From Copper.

I'd have to be in the last stages of Alzeimers before that stopped sounding dodgy.

I can understand some people forgetting their lessons on which metals are attracted to magnets, or even never having learned (I just happened to have relevant science fair projects). But everybody should know that (1) copper is cheap enough to have been used in pennies, if only as a light coating nowadays; and (2) any household magnet should suffice if small-scale magnetism is the key. You have to wonder how many people fall for these scams, but I guess it doesn't take many to make a small profit.

I Googled "NutriMagn' Institute," and this entry accounted for the first two hits. Must be a new and small operation.
