Arkanomen posted:The moment someone uses the word "Toxins" and they aren't wearing hazard gear or are a safety officer you can immediately ignore anything they say next because it's 99.9% bullshit. This is excellent advice. Essential oils are constantly being touted as being super healthy. There's no proof for it, and in fact many essential oils can be pretty nasty, much moreso than the stuff they call "toxic".

bongwizzard posted:I think what makes it a scam they are not out and our extorting money out of you with a threat of violence, they're just using unspoken intimidation which is vastly harder to prove were to come to court. It's a scam, but it's similar to a mugging in that it threatens something bad if you don't give them your money. With a mugging it's the threat of violence, with the CD scam it's the threat of being publically shamed for not buying something.

There's apparently one near me, I'm almost tempted to flatten my laptop to see what's on it and then flatten it again once I'm done.

Corrode posted:This happens a lot. Every few years someone tries it for a huge number and gets paid and it ends up in the news, but generally they scam a few hundred out of a government department or giant corporation for which the amount of money isn't even a rounding error. If I was doing it I'd make up small transactions of things that nobody will notice aren't there either because they already use up a lot of them or they're small enough not to notice. Printer supplies, shipping crates, mice and keyboards for their computers, that sorta thing. edit: Even better, actually fill a stockroom with the things but you charge a big markup or something.
