FrameTek has been on the wrong end of a fr33 samble scam. We have received over 800 requests for fr-- sambles in the last 5 days.

My mispessling are on purpose here so PFM doesn't get spammed.

There are hundred of web sites listing web pages of companies offering fr-- sambles.

The way NOT to get scamed is NOT to have the words "Fr33 Sambles" on your web sites unless it is in a graphic form rather than computer readable type.

To check this out, google your company name and the words "Fr33" or "Sambles"

This has been horrific for us. At first I thought that there was a mention of our name in some article or somethng like that and we sent out lots of very expensive sambles. After the first day I knew we had been scammed. Unfortunately, some good prospect real customers are not getting sambles - Email me directly if one of them is you.

Greg,

That is terrible.... As much as I love the internet - it is definitely a love/hate relationship when it comes to the information available versus the people who thrive on negative input/spam, etc.

I hope you get this resolved.

We've gotten around that with our disclaimer that no assamble is required.

I have to admit that I had to re-read this about 25 times before I got what Greg was talking about.

How about this - "no cost examples of our product".
