Hello,
Ive been enjoying browsing the forums for a while, I thought it was about time I got posting.

When I have a spare moment at work I have been amusing myself by emailing quack companies with difficult questions about their products. I have been picking on Vitalia after a relative got suckered into buying one off their “magic magnets”
www.vitalia-health.co.uk

The most offensive thing they are selling is the Qlink SRT3 which seems to be a bit of copper on a string which will make your life better for just 99 pounds! When I emailed them feigning interest in it they got back to me within minutes gushing about its wonderful properties and telling me about all the double blind studies that had been done on it. I have emailed back a few times asking where these are published but suddenly they are not so willing to chat.
Anyway they seem to have stopped responding to my “enquiries” but if any of you fine people feel like having a shot their email address is information@vitalia-health.co.uk

;)

I fear they will use my email address for a mailing list or something. Nasty people. Have you gotten any spam now? Or more to the point - is your friend's life any better? Now that shes 99 pounds lighter...

she bought a magnet not the qlink, so only shes only about 20pounds lighter.
I showed her how the magnet wont stick to the fridge with about 5 sheets of paper between it and the fridge, and said imagine what a layer of skin and fat does. She is now starting to have doubts.....

And no I havent had any spam from them......yet.
