How’s this for a business proposal for you: You give the company a $200
deposit. You get a jar of beads which you string onto fishing wire â€"
and in 20 days they pick up the 100, 20 cm strings you’ve made and they
give you your deposit back plus $94.


Bloody hell. I hope there *Is* a hell, with a special corner for people
who do that to the poor and desperate.

It happens in this country as well Sarah.

There are also those other scams that affect those with rather more money
- WEW [women empowering women] is one that comes to mind along with the
one a few years ago; Alchemy??

Wilst there are gullible people [through need or greed] people will make
money out of them.
