Can i just say that I am very impressed in the depth of research that has

gone into the herballife report.

I'm from the UK, and before Christmas I must have filled in a questionairre

(i think it was for a prize draw) during which I answered the question

"would you like to earn loads of cash by working from home?" (i can't

remember the exact wording, but it was something like this)

I got a phone call on saturday 17 Jan from some guy called Marcus. He asked

me more about my ideals about working for myself - so I answered honestly -

that I was an IT guy, and that I have previously run my own consultancy, and

really enjoyed the troubleshooting aspect of it.

Anyway he said that he'd mail me a CD that would explain it all.

Before people start getting alarmed, I am well aware about the scams that

businesses try - I'm more familiar with the scam where you assemble products

at home, but no matter how well you make them they're never quite good

enough to meet their high quality standards.

So anyway - joy of joys... My CD arrived today, with a UK version of the

video. I tried to be fair, but after 15 minues of not being told what I

would be doing as part of this fantastic oportunity I decided to check out

the sites on the net.

You see Sneakers was on TV at the time, and myself and my brother got all

inspired to find out more.

The web sites that were sent were :

www.want2losew8.com and www.want2workfromhome.com

A quick WHOIS search soon reported that both sites were inded owned (or

appered to be owned by Lisa and Marcus Warnes, who appear to be the people

who sent me the CD)

I can't stress enough the value that can be gained through a WHOIS query -

(eg : if you get a spam mail from someone, I never respond directly to it -

as the account could be misrepresented. Instead I look who ownes the web

site, get their email address, and then I sign them up for more spam - it's

amazing as the whois record gives most of what you need to know to implement

that.....http://www.toastedspam.com/freespamlist I send that email from a

separate send only routine, and just clear it down once every few months.)

The site information link on the want2workfromhome.com gave the following

blurb:

-----

This website is operated on behalf of B.I.G. Marketing 01304 371771

The name and address of the business opportunity provider is :

Herbalife (UK Limited)

Senator Court

4 Belmont Road

Uxbridge

Middlesex

UB8 1HB

Please be aware that it is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a

trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits

from getting others to join a scheme.

When considering this business opportunity, do not be misled by claims that

high earnings are easily achieved.

The goods, which are sold under this system, are nutrition and personal care

products.

Transactions are effected by participants.

-----

So - we tried to locate B.I.G. Marketing at companieshouse.co.uk - all UK

companies (that's VAT registered companies) should be registerd there - I

believe. We were unable to locate B.I.G. Marketing.

We checked bbc watchdog site (british consumer affairs TV programme), but

that came up empty.

A check where the experts are (www.google.com) revealed your site, and your

indepth article.

You'll be pleased to know that I am currently copying the CD, and will

arange for a copy to be sent to you if you wish - I checked the video file

out, and there seems to be no copyright information present

I was never serious about entering this business oportunity - I always get

nervous when someone wants me to do something, but won't give details.

There's a whole CD here with a whopping 254 mb of data on it. If you want a

copy I can sort it out for you.

Cheers Rob -

Mike & Dave Hingley

PS - spent loads of time surfing you site - infact it's now 3am, and some of

us have got to be up in 4 hours to go to work!

tonight I had a Tombstone frozen pizza. The cheese one.

I've noticed around someone is selling Herbalife to Hispanics AND they are advertising at Suds Yer Duds.

Its funny that your A-frame sign is still up on J Street.

I love your site and science. I always knew science could be fun. Thanks for hours of stuff to look at.

Impressive work on all counts.

You may find this amusing. http://www.newartillery.com/photog/random/stupidindiana.jpg

Enjoy,

I also wanted to point out something about the cellphone camera I sent you pictures from. The images lend themselves well to photoshop playing.

Since you requested no large attachments, here is a small one. The texture of the sky in this shot is 100% due to the camera.

Keep up the good work!

Marney.

I just noticed on your fake sign page

http://www.cockeyed.com/pranks/fake_sandwich/sandwich.html that you say

the sign is pointing right both toward the mall and across the street..

but across the street is left. Anyways take care

Andrew
