You snooze you lose!

I snapped this up by transferring non sequential serial numbered $100 bills to a Nigerian bank account. (Typical)

Right place, right time I guess.

Would suggest the CF Forum Moderators block that account. That's just wrong to do mass PMing to Members in order to solicit sales any kind. Just my .02.....

A fool and his money are soon parted. We get IRS is after you robo calls. Medicare is lapsing robo calls. Microsoft Windows will detonate today robo calls. You just have to filter out the noise. Sadly it is the New World Order.
