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 worked with a woman who believed that proper application of magnets would cure her nearsightedness. When she found that it didn't work, she was at least intelligent enough to return them within the 30 days and get her money back. The company then "modified" their claims so that her degree of eyeglass prescription was no longer covered.

But I gotta ask myself how many people didn't bother to return the very overpriced magnets, and just threw them away when they didn't work.

As I believe W. C. Fields once said--"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, and that's enough to make a good living."
