A friend of mine was approached by some guy wanting to talk to her about his 'business' while she was at work. When she said he wanted to meet her and a friend at a coffee shop, it screamed Quixtar. Through doing some research, his 'company' is a shell of the ltdteam.com website. I am telling her this is likely a scam, but I havent been able to find anything conclusive on the web other than it is a Raleigh company, seems to hide what it does, and doesnt appear to sell any product. Does anybody know the skinny on this company? I am advising her to stay the hell away, but hoping some of you out there have already been approached and can give details...
