Kirkham guys, is something shady going on here?...
Hey guys,
Just found this interesting add on the local craigslist. Thought I might make the Kirkhams aware of the fact that their name and website is being used to try and drum up business for someone else, unless ,of course they are involved somehow, which does not make sense to me.
The whole ad is very peculiar.
