I get these quite a bit. Some are called "Bait" letters. Once you respond that you only have one or two items on the list you get the rest of the pitch, which my Customs friend tells me includes a fake bank check from Taiwan. I once had an "African Mother" email me to train her two sons to find gold and assist them in getting Minelab 5000's. Red flag? I was to be paid in gold dust from the family mine.. WTF? - Terry

Disappointed to see they're not interested in any gallopin' rods for maniacs. Usually a big market for them! All sizes! :laughing9:

Cheers, DR
