I didn't know when it all started but I finished it off and called it a quit after PREMIUM DATAWARE let me into his phone I listened to her telling another man what she used to tell me when we started . it hurts . . from that time till now I haven't contacted PREMIUM DATAWARE but I think I will do so very soon because this other lady coming to my house seems cool but I just want to be sure. if you need Help contact them Via (PREMIUMDATAWARE DOT COM or PREMIUMDATAWARE AT GMAIL DOT COM)
