It seems legit-but I have a small concern because of "Traditional Costumes" in regards to the other things that they produce.

Are they able to do a credible job with traditional costumes when their focus seems to be on more industrial type supples and materials?

Of course he's kidding. All his spare capital is tied up with an investment in Nigeria.

You think Screws, Industrial Chemicals, Raw Materials, Machines & Machinery aren't core competencies for a company making Traditional Costumes? :P

I heard a story from a local bank president the other day. A college student applied for an account and wanted to deposit several money orders he'd received. They were all from the same banking organization but with different names on them. I don't remember what country it was, probably an EU member.

The bank president herself tried to talk him out of it, but he was firm and said it was for sure, and he said he knew he was on the hook if they bounced back.

He spent the money.

They bounced back.

He cried ignorance, and she would not relent. She threatened to start garnishing everything he had, including his tuition. Next thing you know, she gets an irate phone from Dad saying that she should have protected his darling boy from the evildoers.

She went through the whole story with Dad and would not relent. Dad paid. Son is now a noncustomer at that bank.

I pity the next bank . . .

Must have been a small, local, bank as all the national ones won't release the money until the money orders really clear.

And why should a college student believe the president of some piddling little local bank when he's got an e-mail directly from the Sales Manager of CHANGZHOU WENDI MACHINERY CO. LTD. (or some such place)? :roll:

That's correct. They could delay his access to the money only three days. Even in the electronic age, I can see it taking more than three days for something to clear internationally.

I guess I don't pity the next bank. There probably won't be one for this young man for a long time.

I had to wait something like ten days for my "Millionaire" winnings check to fully clear. They let me have access to less than $10K until then.
