    Ripoff Report | Page Not Found


    I just got a call from these guys and was about to do it.. and when I saw this I just hung up. I just want to warn you guys about this (especially those in California).. if you get a call from them hang up immediately.

    I'm so ****ing pissed they almost talked me into doing it, and I just hung up saying "go **** yourself and your stupid scam, call me again and I'll report you to the proper authorities".

    That was close. I was tired from a hard day in classes and was not up to full speed, but once I saw this website my eyes opened up and I got real mad. A ****ing offshore scam.

This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        It still is a scam... no matter what typo is on there.. and the response seems to be well written.

        Oh and by the way, they wanted to charge me $299, not just $199. ****ers. If I find these people I swear...
