Thanks to Sam from Zane & Zachs for alerting HSB readers to the latest scam in the chile pepper world. It seems that this new crop of scammers are specifically targeting manufacturers reviewed on the HSB. Please note that the Hot Sauce Blog is in no way affiliated with this group nor can we nor do we endorse doing business with them. This scam is very similiar to an earlier scam brought to our attention previously.
