This is not a real company. Just thought everyone should know.
The website they've created only looks legitimate but once you read it, none of the copy makes sense. Beware of this one.
Just in case you want to see how fun talking to a scammer is, here's a transcript of my private message conversation with the scammer (whose chatting under the guise of "Mrs. Martha Evans" at [email protected])... little does "Martha" know that I'm looking to get out of the paper supply business and move to Texas with my husband Jim...
