Statements made by the owner or anyone else in control of the substance concerning the nature of the substance, its use or effect. b. Statements made to the recipient that the substance may be resold for an inordinate profit. c. Whether the substance is packaged in a manner normally used for illicit controlled substances. d. Evasive tactics or actions utilized by the owner or person in control of this substance to avoid detection by law enforcement authorities. e. Prior convictions, if any, of an owner or anyone in control of the substance, under state or federal law related to controlled substances or fraud. f.
