MY Town! I'm So Proud.

Who says the age of the entrprenuer is over? Combine Tea Party Paranoia, good old grifter gab, preying on the fears of the elderly, and of course a fear of the coming BO shit tax ( ) and you have the perfect storm of weirdness that can only happen in my humble town of West Palm Beach Florida. Ahh, I'm sure our town founders are proud.

3 Facing Prison Time In $1M Toilet Paper Scam

November 26, 2011 5:43 PM




 
WEST PALM BEACH (CB4)-A South Florida trio is facing up to two decades in prison after they were allegedly involved in a $1 million toilet paper scam in Palm Beach County.
 
Federal prosecutors said the three conned elderly customers into buying unnecessary septic products, in some cases more than 70 years worth of toilet paper, CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald reported.
 
According to the Herald, the three worked for FBK Products of West Palm Beach. They told more than a dozen of their victims that they needed the company’s special toilet paper to avoid ruining their septic tanks. They told their victims that the federal government changed regulations on toilet paper, the Herald reported. The federal government, though, does not regulate septic tank products.
 
In phone pitches, salespeople claimed the company was affiliated with the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One product, the $199 Septic Remedy treatment, would eliminate the need to have their tanks pumped, the company claimed.

 

Victims were also told that they needed special soap, detergent and toilet paper or their septic tanks would not pass federal inspection, the Herald reported. But the EPA does not regulate septic tank products, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
 
Three of the suspects, Christopher Lincoln, Mary Moore and Joseph Nouerand, this week pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiring to commit wire fraud. They agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and will be sentenced in February.
 
Three other employees are awaiting trial.

Back in the 50's sidewall sales men would tell customers that asbestos side was A bomb proof.

70 years worth of sh!t paper seems awfully optimistic for an elderly person.
Must have more faith in ObamaCare than most people I know.
As for the Govt not regulating toilet issues, that attorney is a liar.
Who set the limit on the size of your tank and how much water you are allowed per flush ?
