Thank you Peter. I find it odd that so many time-nuts appear to be aware of this scam, but have done little or nothing about it. I don't know if this is a "British thing" to want to report such practices, but we do have a few TV programs where reporters have exposed scammers. e.g. "Coyboy Builders" http://www.channel5.com/shows/cowboy-builders "You've Been Scammed" http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017k60v In contrast, it seems many time-nuts are aware yixunhk is selling counterfeit items, several have fallen victim to it, but few if any have done done anything about it. I find that quite strange myself.
