rush4hire Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Whoever is deleting my posts, you need to quit. It's getting anoying. Here's what I posted. I would not call you a "paranoid conspiracy theorist" for believing it might be a scam. I delete dozens of these every time I check my email. I'm pretty sure they are just scams. Otherwise, I have thrown away billions of $$$ by now. Quote I cant make a sig with 30 chrs
