Nothing underhand about it, just whether you want to participate or not. I took the time to find out the precise details, but decided against going ahead, because I didn't really want a mobile phone battery pack.

SultryMaiden Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Have received message which I think is a scam trying to recruit me to an online site, anybody else had PM like this? I get the occasional nice pm. I also get the odd sleezy one too but sometimes i get them and they are just plain weird.
