Compare the business opportunity offering between adcalls.com and bizcallingcards.com - calling cards, text messaging, etc. The offerings look very similar.
BizCallingCards has just launched, and has no rating yet with the BBB. This should be an interesting one to watch. The website says they have been in business since 2001 - I guess they have, just under different names operating at the same headquarters. For me, thats a HUGE red flag.
