Well, the domain anyhobby.com is registered to an entity in china, not korea… no name on the registration… it could be real, and you could call on the phone, maybe invest 5 bucks…

The real issue is like the biggest problem with china, you will get a “prototype”, then give them the rest of the money, and then wait. Often what you receive is not the same as the prototype.

I doubt that anything less than a full blown business venture, with regular trips to Korea, and tranches based on performance would work.

Absolutely. I am not surprised at the ‘solicitation’ - it probably went to a lot of folk whose emails are online as train guys. But without regular visits and progress payments you are asking for disappointment.

Out of all the email in boxes that exist, why did this email end up in your in box? I ask that question when I get a suspicious email. If there is no way so n so would actually know me, I know its a scam before I even get past the introduction.

Yeah, the “Dear Madam and Gentleman,” is a bit out of touch, eh? Of course, it usually comes for a credit card company and says something like “Dear Valued Customer”. Right. So valued you don’t know my name?

LOL, yea (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)

Regarding the lack of name of the former employer … I worked in Laguna Beach as a jeweler for the same company. I made molds; packing, vulcanizing and cutting. I shot waxes with them, treed the waxes and invested and after a timed set put them in the overnight burn out oven so I could cast them the next day. I fabricated and set precious stones.

Since a nephew was placed ahead of me, I lost promotions and bonuses after 24 years on the job. I left.

I never name the company because of that, in general posts, I will reveal as necessary in a private email.

I imagine there are many shops and factories available after China took away the business, our niche can support one now as China has changed their ways…

I wish him well and long honorable life.
