Mr Wang Qin, “credit officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd”, who has a not very well “concealed business suggestion” for me involving Ibrahim Moussa and US20M and culminating in an offer to provide me with Tiscali broadband @ £15.99/month. The mail is sent from wang_qin24@tiscali.co.uk, although I assume he means wang_qin24*7@tiscali.co.uk.

    I didn’t realise until someone pointed me to http://www.eaglesystems.info/ the Tiscali support a pyramid selling scheme to push their product – much like Amway. I had always thought such schemes were discredited and distasteful, only pushed by small-timers at the top of the pyramid – who are the only ones to make money from them – but apparently not.
