You forgot rules 4,5,6,7 etc = SCAM,SCAM,SCAM,SCAM.
Like Nek1 I'm fairly new to< Alibaba.rip_off>Our factory Classic Silver Ltd, produces Silver Jewelry and we're based in Thailand.
I don't know how these BARXXXXXXXs get our info but for the last two weeks I've been bombarded from Nigera,Togo and Benin wanting to 1)be our agent or 2)wanting to purchase unrealistic amounts eg:19,584 pcs of one design no questions asked and always they DEMAND not ask for a Pro-Forma Invoice.Thanks to much of what I've read on these Forums and 419, I told them to take a flying leap at amoving truck.
Did I do the right thing???
OH I almost forgot they use names like,
Michael Smith
Moxwell Mary
Luious Konkery
Ms Lucy

I received tons of this kind emails. From the way the emails were composed, they are all scams. They are not very clever con artists. Yet, there are a lot more stupier people than them in this world. So, those standard $zillion-to-be-possessed from unidentified deceased people in Nigeria emails can still continue to find victims. The moment I read an email of this kind, especially come in with lots of spelling errors and grammatical inconsistencies and they are from Nigeria, I will be very suspicious.
Nowadays, a lot of copycats are emerging from CHINA. Beware !
