Was browsing thru some kitesurfing sites on the net and an add popped up for discounted kite gear under kitesurfing wholesail sources.
They say they'll send you a book with thousands of manufacturing outlets names, addresses contacts etc.for greatly discounted items direct from the factory for $59 US.for the book can return within 60 days if prooves no benefet.

Is this a scam as i can't imagine the factories allowing individuals to buy items without going thru a supplier in there country? They say thev'e been going 4 years?

Why dont you buy it then offer to PM it to everyone here for $5 ea.
Be sure to get your money back that way

Of course its a scam - search bike riders sites and you'll get the same offer for contacts for cheap bikes - search scuba sites - same thing. Ad infinitum.

Who ru gonna complain to when they dont send ur money back ?

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is - on the internet that goes x2.

Tom: Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arts Tickler's F@gg*t Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding d*ldos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other d*ldo can do until now", latest and greatest in s*xual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arts Tickler's F@gg*t Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles artses when he is not paying in cheques!

Bacon: So how long do you have to wait for a return?

Tom: Probably no more than four weeks.

Bacon: Well what good is that if we need it in six... no, five days?

Tom: Well it was still a good idea.

^^^^ and still one of my alltime favorite movies. Absolute classic...

Let's sort the buyers from the spyers ,the needy from the greedy...
and those who trust me from those who don't.

Because if you can't see value here today....
you're not here shopping....you're up here shoplifting.

See these good?
Never seen daylight , moonlight...Isralite , Fanny by the gaslight.

Take a bag. Come on . Take a bag.
I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound.

Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there.
Hand made in Italy, hand stolen in Stepney.
It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else.

Don't think 'cause these boxes are sealed up there's empty.
The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker.
By the look of you , I'd make more money with me measure tape.

Here, one price. Ten pound .

Eddy - Did you say ten pound?
Bacon -Are you deaf?
Eddy -Tha's a bargain. I'll take one.

Squeeze in. Left leg, right leg. Your body will follow .
They call it walking.

You want one as well, darling ? That's it. They'er waking up.
Treat the wife or somebody else's wife .
It's more fun if you don't get caught.

You want one? Show me a bit of life then.
It's no good standing out there like 1:00 half struck.
Buy'em. You better buy'em.

These are not stolen. There're just not paid for.
We can't get'em again. They changed the bloody locks.
It's no good coming back later when I've sold out.

"Too late,Too late"
will be the cry when the man with the bargins has passed you by.
If you've got no money on you, you'll cry tears as big as October cabbages

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eddie....." I don't know. What I do know is there's no more Harry. Which means there's no more debt. And if there's no more debt, there's no more problem. And there's no problem with the neighbors... because they're all dead........
And I think, if I get this right, we haven't done anything wrong... we're in the clear.

^^^ love it - here's more

Winston: What is that?

Willie: That's Gloria.

Winston: Yes I know that's Gloria, what's that?

Willie: Fertilizer.

Winston: You went out six hours ago to buy a money counter and you come back with a sem-conscious Gloria and a bag of fertilizer. Alarm bells are ringing, Willie.

Willie: We need fertilizer Winston.

Winston: Mmmhmm. We also need a money counter. This money's got to be out by Thursday, I'm buggered if I'm gonna count it. Just make sure if you do need to buy sodding fertilizer you could be a bit more subtle.

Willie: What do you mean?

Winston: We grow copious amounts of ganja, yah? And you're carrying a wasted girl and a bag of fertilizer. You don't look like your average horti-****!ng- culturalist! That's what I mean Willie.
