CampbellRandall Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Earnest is still working the scam. One of my customers just contacted us about him because it sounded too good to be true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted January 4, 2010 "Earnest Franklin" tried to scam one of our regulars a few weeks ago. Remember folks, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
