Hello malaika-ga,
I think you are prudent to do some investigation before you spend
significant money with any company that offers a fortune in return.
In the first sentence on its web site, Theodore Hansson Co. (
http://www.thansson.com/ ) promises "very lucrative deals". It would
be understandable if you wondered whether the company could keep this
promise -- especially after Mr. Hansson writes later on the page that
he learned his money-making concept from "a guy named Wayne".
Mr. Hansson's letter also indicates that his company is evaluated by
Dun & Bradstreet. If you think you want to spend any large amount of
money with the company, you might want first to obtain a report from
Dun & Bradstreet:
"Theodore Hansson Company"
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.

The local Better Business Bureau does not have any current complaints
against Theodore Hansson Co. However, it urges caution:
"The Better Business Bureau of Oregon and Western Washington - Company
Reliability Report - Theodore Hansson Company"

There are several discussions of this company on The Notes Lounge of
The Paper Source. It appears that anyone can post a comment, so you
should carefully evaluate whether the commenters have a basis for what
they are saying. The Paper Source web site has been recommended by
Jane Bryant Quinn, so I assume that the forum itself is for real.

I hope that this information is helpful.
