As I'm sure many here know one of the major chem suppliers on ebay, Sandys4Kids has had a rash of negative feedback. Everyones says they cannot
even contact the seller. However, one of their "customers" posted feedback stating that the seller had been arrested for $1M bail. That
seller sent out email stating the govt. arrested him/her on charges of terrorism and seized the chemicals and just about everything else.
This seller did have some potentialy explosive, energetic compounds, but just the basic perchlorates, thermite components, etc. Some listings were
not just of chemicals, but of groups of chems or kits with the explicit reference to the item being used in a certain way (ammonia generator,
thermite, flash powders), but even this doesn't seem like terrorist activity. Perhaps the seller was giving out info on how to use their
products illegally? Another strange thing is ebay did not suspend the seller after dozens of complaints- suspension usually occurrs quickly on
potential frauds. Makes me think something strange is going on here, like there are charges and therefore ebay does not want to take sides. Anyone
know happened to old Sandy?

Anyone else smell a Black Money scam? For those of you who don’t know, a black money scam is a scam played on a victim of a former scam. The typical
scenario:
You get conned out of $50k in a 419 scam. You are contacted by someone purporting to be an associate of the scammer. They say that the scammer feels
guilty after conning you and that they want to give you your money back. Upon meeting with them, they give you a briefcase filled with black paper.
They tell you that the money has been dyed black to fool customs agents and avoid duties. They take a ‘bill’ out, spray some ‘chemical’ on it
and through a slight of hand, make a hundred-dollar bill appear. They say that only a few thousand dollars will be enough to secure enough of the
‘chemical’ to wash the rest of the money. Of course, the ‘chemical’ is just water, the black paper really is just black paper, and you loose
yet another pile of your money.
