Hmmm.... Could be a Phantom counterfeiter. I'd report this to the FBI. ;-)

For some reason, the silly scam reminds me of a Bodylastics
(http://www.bodylastics.com). In this fitness forum I also go to, someone began
talking about magic solutions, and this cropped up. You know the kind: spend $5
and 30 seconds a day and look like a Greek god. Same idea. Spend $40 on a giant
rubber band with handles and become a god in a few minutes a day.

The guy put a bunch of testimonials, a couple of which are a riot:

"Bodylastics is a great system. The office manager here was impressed with my
upper body strength when she how effortless it was for me to pick up a five
gallon container of water an place it on our water dispenser."

but the best was:

"I would definitely recommend it to other fighters."

Maurepaz Auguste - champion kickboxer

I thought that was one way of softening the competition.... :-))
