Summary
I went a few steps further and checked their web site.. See the snapshot above? That's the sum of their site.. No links, no help, nothing but a Bonsai pic with web address just above it (gobonsai.com) that doesn't work.. Maybe this is some kinda test, other wise THEY'RE wasting their time...
