There as been no reply to emails in several days, this site is definately a SCAM now, beware!

In fact, I cant see any official posts by them anywhere for about a year. so, yea, I would say its a good bet that they turned scammer. in one post I read, they had sold the business to someone else, thats about the same time that they went silent... About a year ago..

Yeah, that's probably the owner. Or was the owner. From his latest posts, he must've sold the site.

Perhaps there is an intermission from selling the site? Transferring things and such, or something?
