That really is a CLASSIC!!! As I've said so often before: dammit we're on the wrong side of this game. Barnum was absolutely right, except in his time estimate. They WANT to be fleeced.

Zonkie - It's quite funny that someone would point to the TV commercial as a sign that ABFG isn't a swindle. I saw the ad yesterday. While the focus of the ad is ostensibly www.rodeoisland.com, the real object of the ad appears to be to sell stock. First of all, the ad appears on a show called the Stock Market Observer, which one assumes would attract an audience interested in the stock market. Second, very prominent on the screen are the phrases, www.rodeoisland.com www.abfg.com and OTC BB: ABFG The voiceover (as best I could transcribe it) - "Imagine shopping on a tropical island, choosing top quality products at competitive prices. All from the comfort of your home or office, anywhere in the world. Visit Rodeoisland.com, your complete 3D shopping interactive adventure. Convenient and secure, for today's consumer. Rodeoisland.com, an ABFG company." It sure appears to me that they are trying hard to convince someone that this is the next undiscovered Internet stock. But how is that when I look at rodeoisland.com, I don't see a 3D interactive site? Just a few static web pages that take forever to load on a dial-up connection. I don't call that truth in advertising nor does it enhance the company's credibility. ----------------- Here's another great post from an obviously wise person at RB. >>>> I, for one, have great difficulty believing ANYONE would set up a website, launch tv commercials, get banners, show ads, field calls, etc., etc. all in an attempt to swindle people out of their money. I got news for ya, my handle is not just some cute name I picked up.<<<<<<<<
