    You havent heard of that story???

    A British business man sold a $10 golf ball finder to the army in Irak.He told them it was a bomb detector and sold them for like $25 000 each.
    He sold them to over 40 countries and is now in jail.
    The worse part is that even though they now now it's fake some countries still want to use them as they paid so much for it. :rolleyes:

    of course, that's because eBay owns PayPal! It's a brilliant way of double dipping. I don't like PayPal, but I do enjoy the service they offer to be totally honest

    You didn't miss much other than shame... and a few freaky women.
    I'm sure somewhere, in one of my oldest friend's blackmail vault there are incriminating pictures of me engaging in (what may appear to be) illicit activities while dressed ridiculously in bright colors with bead bracelets and an upside-down ADIDAS visor. :facepalm:

    The sale of the devices to Iraq was alleged to have been aided by the payment of huge bribes to local officials. McCormick is said to have made a total of $75m (£46.2m) from the Iraqi government, charging $40,000 for each unit, which cost $20 to produce.

    Bogus bomb detectors are still being used in Iraq five months after a British businessman who supplied the devices was found guilty of fraud.
    More than 4,500 people are estimated to have been killed in Iraq – 979 of them in September alone – since James McCormick, a former policeman, was convicted at the Old Bailey in April. His trial heard that the devices he was selling, called ADE-651, were based on novelty golf-ball finders and had no scientific means of detecting explosives.

    I could sell this "sniper detector" to North Korea for $5000.
