Has your friend been at it again with this Snake-A-Way review?

I do not want mine anymore. Requires constant ego stroking, wants a immaculate house to live in, drinks lots of beer, watches sports and Trailer Park Boys. Was really good a few years back but i think he is at his expiry date.

I will deliver.

Because, after all, anyone with a husband past his expiry date commands men of a more distinguished, literate class.

Fortunately, you have not fell for it.
She would probably have used your personal data to clone your identity and gain access to your credit cards and bank account (or worst)
You could end up lying in a ditch.
