    Hi Daniel,



    By now you have probably read one of my replies to someone else

    regarding the above message?  Anyhow I'll repeat myself....



    I originally posted the message on behalf of someone else.

    I don't have anything financially to gain from this advert.

    I was told that it was perfectly legal but have since heard from

    others that it may be a scam.  Nobody has actually been able to

    give me any proof thus far as to prove that it really is a scam.

    I tried calling the number myself from a pay phone so not to get

    any strange charges to my phone account...unfortunately my $3.60

    worth of credit ran out before I got the full message.  I don't

    intend calling the number again.  I would advise that if you do

    then perhaps you should use a pay phone as I did just to be safe!



    Cheers....  Carl
