Hello,

I have been researching an Indonesian company by the name of Screen Electronics, he/she tries fairly hard but doesn't come across in the most secure looking of manners. The prices are at a first impression known as "too good to be true" but I always ask anyway to help boost my experience and knowledge.

I feel there is a lot of corruption in this market, so be especially weary when dealing with Indonesian companies because 95% or more turn out to be a scam it seems right now. Just watch out for this one, (screenelectronics@lycos.com) - I hope the information is useful to people in helping you develop your protection against scam artists.

Here are the e-mail transcripts for people to read and make their own decisions:

SCAM! The muppet is talking in broken english. I'd put my money on a Nigerian behind this.

Trust me any established supplier can talk perfect english, regardless of where they are from.
