Obviously this scam must be working because these people haven't been stopped yet. They don't have to sell many to make an easy fortune and they are selling them world wide.

I just had a customer come in who bought one of these! He told me because he wanted to know what the other 100 or so pain types were. I had never heard of them so I did a Google (as one does). He reckons it's helped with arthritis in his toe but after researching this Tibetan Healing Ring didn't take me long to realise it's probably just a placebo affect he's feeling. I asked him if he'd done a Google and he MUST HAVE seen this and the other sites talking about how scammy it is. Wow - can't believe he paid over $100 for it!! Some people have more money than sense. Now going to share this article on my Facebook page.

However, common sense told me that even if the things worked how could they possibly cost so much!!

Anyhow I'm very happy I did a research that led to this website - needless to say I shall NOT be ordering.
