    Question Zhanjiang City - The Country of South Sea Pearl

    We got the very same 'copy/paste' text with more astonishing details from an raising amount of our buyers... i will just leave it like that for now!

    Zhanjiang city has the advantageous natural conditions in all kinds of pearl breeding, what's more, the location of Zhanjiang city is just near the cultured pearl researching center, with nearly 40 years of artificial cultured pearls experience, the annual amount of nacre is fairly large, since 1990s, more than 90% of nacre are provided by Zhanjiang city.

    It reads like it was thrown into Google translate and then mixed with a find-and-replace to switch freshwater with South Sea. At least Tyler Byron sounds like an authentic name

    It's Tyler Durden, I believe.

    I agree with Jeremy, or maybe the writer used article spinner software to create "new" article and submitted it to promote his website (notice the hyperlinked words towards the end). This is common practice among internet marketers, but the article is highly misleading and should be removed from Ezine.

    It's English words, strung together - but not really in English.

    Pattye, nothing will happen i can assure you that, if you say a sentence a billion times you may actually believe it.

    For those who are on the hunt of 50mm Natural Genuine pink baroque south sea pearls, i made it easier for you.. just click buy now http://www.ebay.com/itm/170599217467...467%26_rdc%3D1

    Oh and yes Jeremy, Tyler is THE most common name in China ! Didn't you know that???

    The main problem remains, this is plain fraud and due to the amount of 'sellers' convincing trusting buyers with a simple copy/paste text like that, makes
    quite complicated for the rest of us. Not to mentioned the buyers who spend a great deal on south sea aka freshwater pearls.

    Tyler Durden used to make and sell soap, so maybe these are soap pearls ?

    Wendy, we know but those guys are like mushrooms, we have done that too many times, which is very tiresome, especially if an item has already been sold... useless unfortunately for the buyers....
