So this guy "David Miller" from "Toronto" (he has the same name as the
mayor of Toronto?) is getting all of this money.  Why is he the
contact for organization, admin, and tech?  Perhaps to have to forge
as little info as possible.  Also, that phone number looks a little
fishy, but I don't want to call it to see if someone picks up (I bet
you won't get through).  Looking at the webpage makes me think even
more that it is not legit.  Check out the "reviews" from "real"
people:
------------------------------------
THANK YOU !! 10/10 EXCELLENT AAA+ VERY GOOD VALUE ! - Jeff T.
Fast Service! As Advertised! Thank You! - Mike O.
I saved more than $500! - Peter R.
BRILLIANT - Mary S.

Product was just as described - Jacob W.
Awesome, thanks! - Dan T.
A++, would suggest to anyone. Thanks - Robert J.
Product as described and works, Thanks - Rosa D.
-------------------------------------

Pretty weak if you ask me.  But what did Steve, Bill, and John have to
say?  I'm just saying that they all have _very_ common names; it shows
a lack of creativity of David's part.  At first glance I didn't
believe this thing just because of the unprofessional design of the
webpage.  Also, he can't even host his own "video" (which,
unfortunately, won't work for me) of the product "working".

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't give David one penny.
