i got it confiscated before around 6 months ago nothing happend
The DEA was photographing all incoming mail sent to the two addresses given in (a) the seed catalogue and (b) at the Emery Seeds website, respectively, and all mail being sent out to customers in June and July of 2005.
In doing so, they could record all of the addresses on the outgoing mail, as well as incoming mail.
Now, they can't "prove" that these pieces of mail are seed orders. What they can do is send their own mail to all of those addresses, with a letter included (the one we have posted everywhere) posing as Marc Emery Direct.
If some unsuspecting customer of ours gets that letter, they will:
a) go to Western Union or get a Money Gram to send $50, $100, or $200 to the name of the person on the letter;
b) show their ID and fill out all of their personal information on the Western Union form to send payment;
c) they will write down the key security passwords, as expressed in the letter;
d) they will send their wire to the name on the letter -- pre-determined names set by whatever group is behind this; and
e) they will then send an email to
MEDmarijuanaseeds@yahoo.ca or
MEDmarijuana@yahoo.ca with:
-(i) confirmation of their order, of which we DID NOT send out or keep (most people just waited by their mailbox),
-(ii) the money control number used by the other end to pick up payment (so they can pick up your information with it),
-(iii) the name used to both order seeds and to send the wire, and
-(iv) the amount of money transferred.
When someone responds to this letter by sending money, it confirms that YES, they did order seeds. They clearly did, because they wouldn't have the right name or the password or the location from the letter otherwise.
Also, the use of capital letters is a "legal thing". The system of Roman contract/admiralty law doesn't recognize lower-case letters and for a "name" (that is, a series of letters associated to a "person") to be legally applicable, must be in all upper case.
For this reason, all court documents, etc. use upper case exclusively. (If you are ever filed with legal documents that spell your name as "Joe Blow" and not "JOE BLOW", they can be thrown out of court because you can claim, legally and rightfully, that the name on the document does not apply to you. To get around this the first thing they try to do is get you to acknowledge that you are "Joe Blow" and from then on you're pretty much screwed.)
We know that the DEA was taking photos of the orders sent to us for seeds.
We know that the DEA would love to have people "admit" they ordered seeds from Marc Emery Direct.
We feel very strongly that this is Law Enforcement trying to sweep up a lot of our customers, many whom are growers.
DO NOT RESPOND. DO NOT SEND MONEY.
