Special Announcement Regarding Suspect Insulators

Federal authorities are reviewing a fraud case involving the selling
and/or mailing of fake or suspect insulators.  In the capacity of
Western Regional Vice-President of the National Insulator Association, I
have been asked by a federal investigator to inquire how many potential
victims there are in this suspected fraud.  If you feel you were sold a
fake or suspect insulator that was presented to you as being genuine,
please email me.

I will need to know the following information:  Your name, mailing
address and phone number; the date or approximate date the item was
acquired; who it was acquired from; what the item was; what you paid for
it or the value of items traded for it; was the item mailed to you; from
what city was it mailed; was the item shipped by other means; how was it
shipped; did you purchase the item directly, in what city and what
county (if known); do you have receipts or shipping information?

The list of fake or suspect items includes, but is not limited to, the
following:

CD 120 C.E.W.'s
CD 123 EC&M's in the J-mold, K-mold, L-mold, M-mold and N-mold styles
CD 130.1 Cal Elec Works
CD 731's Tillotson embossed, threadless
CD 735's unembossed, threadless
glass blocks known as the "Sierra Blocks"
glass blocks embossed "S.F. Glass Co"

I can provide clarification on identifying fake or suspect insulators
via email, especially the EC&M mold varieties.  (Note: This
investigation does not involve skirt embossed EC&M's.)

I need your mailing address because the federal investigator(s) may want
to contact you via the mail.  All information will be held in strict confidence.

My email

and members of the board of directors of the National Insulator Association.)
