Omphalophobia
I suffer from omphalophobia.
I didn’t think to look it up before now and not only does my fear of belly buttons have a name, there are others out there that feel exactly the same way as I do.
I can look at mine or someone else’s belly button, but I can’t touch mine, can’t stand having mine touched by someone else and I can’t stand someone else touching their own.
Piercings etc are fine, as long as they’re not being played with.
A scam, but how?
I don’t know how this scam works, or what they get out of it. Do they get the circuit breakers using a stolen credit card number and then we get hit with a charge back? Or do they then decide to pay us by some other method when a dialogue is started? If I wasn’t so busy at work I’d reply to one of these to find out how it works.
I’ll paste a couple of samples.. I get them semi regularly. They are submitted via the online contact page on our web page.
Sample #1
This is an enquiry e-mail via http://keemin.com.au from:
Mr. Terry Smith <terry.smith3008@gmail.com>
Hello Owner,
My name is Mr. Terry Smith, and i am inquiring about safety switches and i want to know if you do have some in stock or if you can special order them for me. Please if you can special order them for me i will be very glad for you to email me back the total cost for the safety switches and the quantities below.

Thank you and i look forward to your reply shortly.

Professional Spam
How professional can you be when you use a gmail email address to spam and try and sell a service? A link to the company and a company email address would go a long way to making these emails legitimate, but I guess they aren’t legitimate so it doesn’t matter that they think using a public email address is OK.
