    Fyi! If Your Using Internet Sites To

    ORDER JUICE, I just got an email from a site that someone had ordered from. It had his name, address, what he ordered and what it cost. HIS EGOLD NUMBER and some other info. If this was sent to a cops email or someone like that it might have caused alot of problems. BE CAREFUL!!!!

    It goes without saying that THIS is the wrong way to do business...
    Common sense would tell you that, secure email is the only way...

    No, I mean what was the purpose of the www giving the info in the email. Was it "look at this guy! Another satisified customer!" or what?

    FYI www sites I was sent the info by mistake and

    a list of products the guy ordered, his name, address, Egold number, and message that said after the money transfer was completed we will send your order.

    Just think about how this poor guy could have been busted!! He ordered about 500.00 dollars worth of stuff!! I guess the reply was comfermation from the web site and they somehow put in the wrong email address.
    I went to the site that was listed and they had about 100 different products to choose. I just thought this would be a good warning to anyone who thinks that buying from a www is a good idea, its not and this is just one example of how you can get busted!!

    The name of the company had a 2000 in it, right?
    If so, many people got that....the total order being like $509. I think it was a subtle attempt at solicitation.....to get you to contact them about there "error", at which point they could pitch you.

    i was gonna say, it had to have been done on purpose, but couldnt figure out why. Makes sense, I would stay away from them bro.

    That goes in the scammer forum. And in the interest of protecting legitimate sources from back stabbers you have to PM the info to a MOD and they will post it up once verified. But yes, there is a place for that.
