[TheForge] warning

OK, a point or two about this...

First, they are soliciting illegal transactions.  They are committing
a felony.  They will probably get nailed at some point. (btw, I too have
gotten this message).

Second, you are not legally responsible for such charges because a) they
do not give proper notice that susch charges will result from calling
the
number, and b) they are part and parcel of a felonious operation.

Third, despite the above points, calling the number (assuming the
assertions
about the high charges are in fact true) can and probably will cause you
headaches you will not want to deal with, so don't tempt fate. :)

	Stand 
	 In the end you'll still be you 
	 One that's done all the things you set out to do 
	Stand 
	 There's a cross for you to bear 
	 Things to go through, if you're going anywhere 
	Stand 
	 All the things you want are real 
	 You have you to complete and there is no deal 
	Stand 
	 Don't you know that you are free?
	 Well, at least in your mind if you want to be
