Though I might try it but stopped when it came time to depositing some funds. A Google search for reviews weren't positive. I wonder if these people used AI to make people believe Harper was a promotor. I understand they tried the same with Elon Musk.. Anyways I am glad I didn't get involved. I will have to endure there phone calls. I will just hangup . Am I the... QuantumAI ..read more
