any way we wish you good luck in you business
thank you
Ya ? how much did it cost him ??? 800 US dollars or more ??? Your prices are insane and if you have to show up here using a new account then that well explains there is a problem. You are lucky this not my forum as you would be banned PERIOD and no coming back. "Urban chicken" ??? What is that a front for an alleged example of your work. Americans as well as others get very tired of scammers trying to rip us off. Do you also do the Nigerian 419 scam as well ???

Well its obvious he has been uncovered as a con artist throughout the phpBB communities, as he has now removed his site from email messages and changed his email address.
I am so surprised he still has the nerve to keep going this way, I really don't know why he just doesn't use the correct channels like everyone else.
The net can be a very shady place, be careful folks.
