As for the moving scam, most movers get away with it. I used to work for a company that helped people in these situations where a “rogue mover” would come in and take all their stuff then exorbitantly raise the price. The worst part is, no one will help you pretty much once this happens. The police will say it’s a civil and federal matter, whereas the feds will say they can’t do anything because they don’t have the man power. I would say to research your movers online and if the price sounds too good, it probably is.

Cereal crops such as oats and barley are called ‘corn’ in the U.K. They exclusively refer to an ear of our ‘corn’ as maize, so they don’t even know the confusion they’ve caused! Since all of the classics were translated years ago at Oxford, et al. we’re stuck with it.

In regards to the corn scam, I’m going to assume by corn, you mean something other than corn(maize) as corn was not “discovered” by the Europeans until the 15th Century.
Then again, maybe this was part of the scam.
