OP: Unplug your computer, put it back in the box, take it back to the store for credit, and never never EVER get on the Internet again. YOU are the reason that spam and scams propegate the way they do. You are so goddamn gulluble that when knowing users TELL you its fake, you close your eyes and don't listen to a damn thing. Why the hell did you even ask ?!?! It is obvious your mind was made up to correspond with the scammers. Gawd almighty DAMN what the hell is wrong with people !!! I am NOT a human !! |
