ISP Glossary:
GNU - Now you too can Say Goodbye to Toxic Laundry Detergent, Forever !Howdy Folks,This scam is something like the guaranteed bug killer that consisted of twoblocks of wood. The advertising for these non-toxic laundry aids includesome of the most blatantly fraudulent product representation I've ever runacross.Studies by independent chemists indicate the laundry disks, rings, and ballsdo not do anything more than plain water does. Magnets and gem stones donot have any effect on plain water and you sure can't kill bacteria withthem. Any claims they clean better than detergents is fraudulent. Theenzymes sold in conjunction with many of these will help clean clothes butthey are available at the grocery store for less.These laundry disks will not remove stains, odors, or harmful bacteria andyou can't tell the difference between putting your clothes in the washingmachine without soap and using the disks. If you'd like to see a colorfuland amusing web page on these, please try: www.worldwidescam.com.The idea of copper components gives me the chills. Copper oxides will killsome bacteria but if particles are left in the clothes, it can also beabsorbed into the skin. If the version you are trying to sell includes anyform of copper and you've been using them for an extended period, pleasehave your doctor test for possible copper poisoning. It's very difficult todiagnose and does some nasty things to the body.Everything I've seen so far indicates this is a prosecutable scam. Why theFTC hasn't moved on these yet is beyond me. If you see these advertisedanywhere on UseNet or InterNet, please forward copies to the folks at thefoot. Please keep an eye on biz.stolen for articles when the courts startdealing with this.Thanks, ChrisBIZynet Coordinator Co-Moderator of biz.general, biz.stolen, biz.marketplace.international,and alt.business.import-export.only+=========================================================================+|| National Fraud Information Center |||| Log on the WebSite at http://www.fraud.org, or call 1-800-876-7060. |||| If you spot obviously illegal operations on the E-Ways, please |||| forward copies of the messages to NFIC at fraudinfo@psinet.com ||+=========================================================================+
