GHR/Stephens Manufacturing (WARNING!)

Note: the business associated with this person, GHR/Stephens Manufacturing, is no longer in business. The information below is an archive.

Though not the biggest electric tweezer scam, this was certainly one of the most brazen and most prolific on the web.

2001 update: In April 2001, GHR “inventor” Judith Stephens became a little less prolific. Her business associate “Katherine Cook” removed several GHR promotional sites residing on wow-me.com and webspinner.net.

2002 update: In January 2002, most GHR sites went offline, except promotional material remaining on Kitty’s Consumer Beware.
