[Rockhounds] Arkansas Diamond Fraud

[Justin at the-vug.com]

I was checking the links to FakeMinerals.com the other night when I came across this board and some negative posts directed my way.

So, who do *I* think I am?  Well, my name is Justin and I've been into minerals for over 8 years now.  I worked for a large wholesale mineral warehouse for several years as the showroom manager, I own The-Vug.com.  I've run several large mineral shows, I've been a member of several mineral clubs, lead field trips, given talks.  In fact, I'll be on my way to give a talk tonight to the Sierra Peloma club.

So, *ahem*, I think I know a little bit about what I'm talking about.

Hold on wait, there is more...

I publish a magazine about minerals, (want to subscribe?) I run special events during the Tucson show, which I'm there the entire time!  I go to most large US mineral shows each year.  My wife designs websites for many major mineral dealers and the hokey pokey is really what it's about.

There is more, but hey, I don't want to take up TOO much of your time!

In fact, before this diamond fraud dropped into my lap, I was doing the layout for my next magazine, which features the Crater of Diamonds.  Odd, eh?

So, yeah, go to FakeMinerals.com and read about this horrible diamond scam.

Best,
Justin
