Howâ€™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 youâ€™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.

I know. But here social services ensures -- or should -- that no one
starves. And Trading Standards, etc, will try to track the culprits
down. The third world poor may be easy meat, worth targeting because
they are easy, but the people who steal from those who have almost
nothing are despicable beyond belief.
