    A Statement of Work questions

    A Statement of Work questions

    Touchstone Business Development

    They look suspect to me and don't seem to check out... They look suspect to me and don't seem to check out... I received a phone call and email from these guys and ran it past my accountant. She noticed the disclaimer on the 'Business Illustration' which stated So they want me to pay into a...

    Unable to access own profile :-(

    I've recently registered and while I can login and (hopefully) post without any problems I cannot access my profile. When I click 'My Profile' in the menu I get a message saying 'you do not have permission to access this page'. Can a higher power please take a look and get back to me - thanks :-)
