Con Men.

[atpbx]

I am currently manning a stall at the Pembrokeshire show, not far down the same alley as our stand is a man selling "Mojo powertech" wristbands for anywhere up to £60 a pop.

He's reeling people in with the old strength and balance test con and people are lapping it up.

Now, I don't have a problem with gullible people being so blatantly ripped off, but this **** has no boundaries to who he is scamming, it's everyone from children to OAPs, he is dishing out outlandish mental and physical benefits for all buyers, and it is REALLY winding me up.

Even the local plod have been buying to what is all intents and purposes, a black rubber band.

Shall I fire up the big plasma display and run the "applied Kinesiology exposed" video I have found on the internet and just leave it running so passers by, and him, can see it?

 

[Theophany]

Has he shown you how it can improve your boxing stance?

 

[dfarrall]

If you want...

 

[tom_e]

Fools, money and easily parted unfortunately.

 

[Craig1981]

Cleanse him with fire.

 

[aa6972]

Blackmail him....

 

[atpbx]

I just can't believe that people are stupid enough to fall for this nonsense, 60 quid for a rubber band.

It just doesn't sit right with me watching people being ripped off.

 

[Craig1981]

Maybe you could undercut him. Get some rubber bands and only charge £50 for yours. That'll learn him! And also net some tasty profits for you.

 

[agnes]

I agree, blackmail him. Say if he doesn't give you a % of his profits, you will display the video undoing his ******** all day.

 

[Edrof]

Fools, money and easily parted unfortunately.

There's nothing you can do - let them make their own mistakes.

 

[arknor]

Put the video up and please film his reaction it could be a youtube hit!

Poo in his letter box

From a boxing stance

 

[Defy Belief]

Why do you care? As long as you're not the one stupid enough to fall for it.

 

[mjt]

Are you jealous of his superior sales techniques? How many things of what you sell have you sold?

 

[Nexus]

It does take a good salesman to shift things people don't want and may be skeptical about.

this. If people want to part with their money - let them. It's nothing to do with you.

If you're really determined to upset him, simply point out that people could buy them direct from Mojo for ~£35.

But as above, why do you care?

We have some wristbands, but all our stuff is free as it's not magic.

Because I have a moral objection to people being taken advantage of or conned.

If I came up to you or a member of your family while someone was trying to con you out of money and just proved to you it was a rip off at no benefit to myself, I refuse to believe you would be so indifferent about it.

Although I have to admit, after reading some of the hand wringing and spineless antics of some members a lot of you would probably go back and bend over for it anyway.
