Thank you very much for this post I.G.! I just got back from teaching for a week in NC and I have a PILE of e-mail messages to sort out and I came across this one this morning. It sort of had the feel of spam to it but I was still thinking of how I was going to answer so as not to risk offending any possible customers around the world (language barriers often mistakenly make things seem questionable). The knowledge that this "urgent business" was also urgent to a few others makes it much easier for me to sort my backed up mail. Thanks:thumbup:

I bet what they want is to make cheap replicas of custom knives and sell them cheap just like they've done with everything else.
 
I love how the want your price as well, probably so they can advertise "normally priced $xxx.xx" as they rip you off.

I got it this morning.

It would be nice if they would upgrade them a little and not be quite so obvious.
 
It's just another intro letter followed by wanting to send you 20 billion in money orders, keep the $20 you're charging and wire the rest to their 'shipping agent'. Same as any other scam.
