On the plus side, many of the victims who fell for the scam are no longer remaining silent: several have demanded their money back, and there is the idea of yet another class action law suit against Dennis Lee after he gets out of prison. There are many new videos exposing the scam in YouTube, and the comments left for videos from crooks and fools promoting the scam are increasingly negative--- the scam will never die, bit it's decreasing as the number of ignorant victims decrease. As for the scam spammed in this newsgroup and others ("Hybrid kit that saves fuel and boots horse power!") it claims one must fuckwith the break system of one's automobile: if that wasn't so dangerous, it would be funny! -- http://desertphile.org Desertphile's Desert Soliloquy.
