Fred Hill is an American with address at: 3705 Mann Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46221, USA
He runs an Internet business trading tongkat ali. His websites is: http://www.circlecitymarket.com
He also has a shop front on Ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/el.conquistador/
But what is Fred Hill?
Fred Hill is a trickster.
As I have researched, and as is properly documented, he has been buying limited quantities of tongkat ali 1:50 extract from Sumatra Pasak Bumi in Medan, Indonesia.
Sumatra Pasak Bumi is the company that developed both the 1:50 and the 1:200 extracts.
As was confirmed by Sumatra Pasak Bumi, Fred Hill ever only purchased bulk 1:50 extract. The filling of capsules, the filling of bottles, and the labeling, he does himself.
Yes, the labeling.
Fred Hill sells capsules and bottles of both 1:50 and 1:200 extracts, in the same capsule sizes and weights as Sumatra Pasak Bumi, but at a cheaper price. And on the labels he indicates as source: Sumatra Pasak Bumi (see photos).
Heh, Fred, what did you put into those capsules that you sell with the label Tongkat Ali 1:200 Extract / Sumatra Pasak Bumi?
Did you resell Sumatra Pasak Bumi's cheap 1:50 extract as 1:200? Beautiful profit!
Or did you sell them a bootleg concoction? Playing games with the health of your customers?
Either way, this is not ethical conduct. To say the least.
So, please write to me, and reveal your source.
As for the customers of Fred Hill who purchased his product labeled Tongkat Ali 1:200 Extract / Sumatra Pasak Bumi, at least ask for your money back. You may also consider other procedures.
For a limited number of those who were tricked by Fred Hill, Sumatra Pasak Bumi is willing to replace his empty bottles with their genuine 1:200, provided their is proper documentation of the purchase from Fred Hill.
