Dear EDitor: I think it is time to begin a whole department of Rip Off Report devoted to offshore scams. You may remember that I have posted quite a bit of material on Canadian scams but they are literally coming from everywhere. I've gotten so frustrated with telemarketers who insist that I already owe them something or have already ordered some listing from them that I've probably cut off some legitimate marketers in mid-pitch because I think I know where they are going. Example: yesterday a guy called up very interested in what kind of printer I was using. You know Mouyal in Canada 'fishes' for this information so they can trick you into buying their overpriced supplies... so I tell him "I really don't know, goodbye!" You get the picture.
