lol and just to think I started an account with them on a survey site. I hadn't put any money in there, so I guess its good that I didn't. I read that a lot of people have been taking their money out of the banks. This was one of the things that caused the Depression. People started panicing, took out their money, and banks lost their business.
Don't you just love when history repeats itself?
