Saw that one about a year ago if memory serves, talk about running someone through the wringer.

A couple of clues: Someone you have never heard of before is willing to entrust you with millions of dollars. Why?

Second, a major security company has an e-mail address @yahoo. Shouldn't they have their own domain name?

Conclusion: Ain't never gonna get money for nothing - unless you are in Dire Straits. (I want my MTV)
