Skull Poison Scam e-mail - 10/4/2007 5:04:39 PM    Jim Posts: 2203 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline I have another bottle scam from the Netherlands to warn everyone about. Several members of our poison bottle club have been contacted by someone from the Netherlands offering a cobalt figural skull poison bottle. They are using the name Lisa Derksen, which may well be a fake name. The pictures are definitely photo-shopped, and this "bottle" has been offered to at least a half dozen different people. Beware! ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. Post #: 1

Whoever is attempting this could be using Ms. Derksen's name in an attempt to add to their credibility. I know someone who asked to see other pictures of the bottle in question, and they never got a reply. The skull was also being offered way too cheap if I remember correctly. ~Jim < Message edited by Jim -- 10/17/2007 12:19:43 AM > _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time.

There were 5 or 6  lids in the photo sitting on a background that had some sun glare but all the lids did not and that was what made him suspicious. _____________________________ AMERICAN POT LIDS WANTED (in reply to Jim) Post #: 4
