[Arisaema-l] The risk of ordering plants from Chen Yi China

[Gunhild Poulsen]

Dear Eric
I like to ask - like Jean-Claude - are you sure this is from Chen Yi
herself?
Last year I got an e-mail from Chen Yi where she told me she had problems
with hacking of her e-mail account, and people writing in her name.
She told me if I wanted to order plants from her, never to pay before after
receiving the plants.
I think maybe you have been a victim of one of these scammers.
Best wishes
Gunhild Poulsen

> Chen Yi mailed me, and asked me to collaborate, because there was 8.2
