Another idea is that whoever sent this email is most likely a member here :-? Or do you also sell on other forums?

Some other bigass seller offering the same products and not willing to give up his monopole? :-?
 





Um, the FDA comes and knocks on your door if it's a big violation. Otherwise they send you a letter on official FDA letterhead to contact them and arrange a meeting if they have questions. They do this because in an official investigation they must show you a badge as well as inform you of your rights when answering questions, even if they have no intention of arrest. If they just need information they still follow the book.
 
Well i'm sure this won't end well for them
Impersonating a federal agent AND insulting the internet.
Somebody here is bound to post this on 4chan or something, then this phony fda person is done.

People will be contacting gmail and the real dan hewett to inform them of this and i highly doubt they will get off the hook here.
 
Day, while that's creepy...

...Please sell us lasers! Please please please!

Remember, when I want to buy my laser, it will be perfectly legal because you're going to remove the module from the host, right?

Please?

-Mark
 
I dont know about importing lasers, but i know about importing cubans, if you get caught, your shit gets snatched and you receive a letter, not a bs email. and since they confessed can you hit me up with that green laser?
 
I might be selling some pointers, they arnt that easy to spot but i REALLY dont like shipping internationally but i have set up someone in the U.K. to act as a distributor, so people in the U.K. and surronding countrys will get theres just as fast as the people in the U.S.

That e mail is completely fake! If the FDA was involved in any way they wouldn't send you a love note via email. They have bigger fish to fry than us hobbyists on LPF.

If he has the time to write Title 21 Code of Federal Regulaions Subchapter J parts 1000-1050 (21 CFR 1000-1050) surely he must have a enough time to fix four spelling mistakes.

Anyways this is VERY fake.

He didn't have time to type that correctly either ;)

Read a bit more carefully. He also has comma splices and words missing from the sentences, in addition to the errant apostrophe at "criminal."

I'm afraid I would have to return this assignment for a re-write ;D

Peace,
dave

I don't see why day has stopped selling his lasers over 5mw this 100% fake, if this is real, wow the FDA really does SUCK.
 
It just made me realize that my parents ARE responsible and i cant take that risk on them, its a pretty big risk, and since i do this at cost, even lose money, i really cant afford to take the risk and/or pay fines, although i do get tips ;) (thx Andrew)
