I found your posting about this spam artist as I was goggling him to check him out.

Mythical Merchant is my company. I make medieval arts and crafts - wooden swords, shields, drinking horns and the like.

 If you are interested I would send you a picture. Right now I should get back to the shop and finish up some swords.

Greetings from the snow and ice of Canada

Thank-you again for your warning.

My website is that lovely work in progress at

www.mythicalmerchant.ca

But if someone wanted to see what I have I am always willing to email
images or discuss ideas

Rick described his business and the connection to VillagePRESS:

Hi Peter,
Kia Ora back to you,
    I am in the manufacturing business; I make parts and accessories for small lathes and milling machines, predominately for TAIG equipment www.taigtools.com
I have recently developed a motor and speed control system for these tools as well as a group of precision measuring add on accessories and a few other parts www.lanemfg.com  Los Lunas, New Mexico USA some 30 miles from Albuquerque NM.
    I often google email addresses that seem suspect which is how I was directed to your site, I get so tired of all the scams and pfishing attempts, I utilize eBay and PayPal often and am constantly getting this type of fraudulent contact and am very appreciative of people like you that put together databases warning of these people.
    It was nice to hear from you, keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Rick Lane

  Hello,
 
  I have just received a request from a regular client that is Corporation will like to send a group of 4 persons to your country and around your
  area for a 10 days research programme I will therefore like to know whether youcan afford such a reservation. They have refused the option to
  take up a rented accommodation in your area but the client as said he wants them to concentrate on the research rather than fending for their
  welfare.
 
  The guest check in date as follows:
  Check in:10th of April.2008
  Check out:20th of April.2008
 
  Names of Paxs Jude Brown (Single room)
  Laura Brown(Single room)
  Mr&Mrs Brown (Double room)
 
  I shall be responsible for all the payment for these services and it will be made via my secured credit cards (MasterCard/Visa).
  Hope to hear from
  Regards.
