Good, I just don't try any links on these but sure as hell someone will be tempted.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -

By email we can get acquainted with you better.

and a pic of a girl holding a rose... bless
I guess which part of her anatomy was holding the rose would be a deciding factor :eek:"Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:

Its not a scam. I have sent them money and they promise me I will get back. They also bought my car and sent me $3000 and all I had to do was send them back $1500 (tax evasion or something he said) and then pay the shipping company $2000 and the remainder is mine to keep, what a deal.Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.0
