Too late.........Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostIt is come to my attention that contractors are being approached about a highly dangerous scheme. This is referred to as "marriage". Although high returns are promised, you will find that divorce (which is inevitable) comes from the latin to rip off the testicles via the wallet.
Ask yourself these questions: -

2. Errr - I can't think of any other questions.
