It may be stuck in customs

Do a search of this forum.

After the great "Opened by Customs" scandal it wouldn't surprise me to find they were out of business.

We never bash companies here on FG, BUT in this case I have to say, Aerotech NEVER pulled through on any of its promises or dealings with us here at FG.

Our members had to pull together as a community and "Handle his business" for him.

For FG, we fired him as a customer/advertiser.

The domain has expired, I wouldn't be surprised if John tried to re-open aerotech with a new name to see if he can ripoff a few more people.

The Domain expired on Aug-25th
He has a little time to renew it, but I doubt he will.
