[PrintOwners] Scammers still at it

[Printernot at aol.com]

Seems that Dateline NBC did something like that already. When confronted  
face to face the scammers admit what they are doing, then just slip away. In  
order to have any effectiveness you would have to involve the police or some  
other government agency that could arrest them and file charges. These people  
would then need to be convicted and serve time. Unless this all happens on a  
large enough scale to put a huge dent in the scammers operations, it likely will 
 have no effect at all.

A list like this helps keep people from becoming  victims. However, there are 
far more printers not on such a list who could be  taken advantage of, as 
well as businesses of other types the scammers have  identified as potential 
targets.

Instead of wasting any time, these  requests for quotes should be completely 
ignored.

Well, it would be interesting to turn the scam around on them...   write them 
back and tell them you are not really the owner but the manager  of  the 
night 
shift and not really happy and you are wondering if you  did the job at  
night 
you could do it for costs but then pad the  invoice enough to  reward both of 
you. Would the reverend be interested  in  substantial "goodwill" cash 
discount 
or commission and then of  course  arrange a meeting in person to give him 
the 
cash... of course  if the discount is  large enough (in excess of $5000) we 
don't want to  fool around with money orders  or Telegrams and cash needs to 
be  
handled carefully and directly. Wonder if they  might fall for  that?
