And that statement that you had mentioned you know in the red print saying we have received your comment question answer or review and it does take us a couple hours to process this and get back to you. That sounds like a scam too. And I do expect a payment back from you in my bank account to get out put it back

I sure under stand. But if you knew it was a scam why why would a representative and make your company look bad, right. It really saddens me to think I was actually looking forward to riding it at least. And, people have to wait two hours to see TY he review out There. It sure didn't take to much time in excepting my money online. There's one thing that tics me more then a thief and and that's a liar. No wonder the world is in such a mess.
