Pappas,

We are talking scammers, not competition...competition happens on equal
terms based on real strategy, you know with people that have enough brains
to find new original ideas to attract customers ... of course maybe you
think that deceiving people is good fair strategy that enables everybody to
compete on a fair ground ...do you ?

REQUESTS REGISTR Y KEY

competition for now.
