Yes i did
and i got a mail from TA in which he told me how many share i will get and that he sent them to FRTD - thats more than 1 month ago !!

FRTD gives no answers to my questions i sent to them

maybe i need to take an other way to get my shares or to get some dishonest "man" to the place where he should be

Although there is a quote for AFFW ,as far as Bid / Ask those shares are worthless, nobody wants to buy shares in a company that has no daily volume.

Did you fill out the online form?

The press release, and the "share registration website" clearly states that one does not need to fill out the online form to receive shares. It has been established that the sole purpose of this website and "registration" was so that FRTD CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, Sr. Vice President, Jr. Vice President, Secretary and Intern Tom Parilla could sell one's personal information. There was no other purpose. Why ask shareholders to fill out an online form, but then state that they really don't need to fill out the form to receive shares?

It's just another layer in the scam onion that is FRTD (in my opinion).

I did, and i got my shares without any trouble. I think AFFW is going to be a big winner.

You may have received your shares, but they aren't even as valuable as FRTD shares (which is saying a lot). They have no value. None. Zero. Zip. Unless you can explain to me why you received a paper certificate of restricted shares. I'll be awaiting your answer.

Either way, AFFW is not going to be a big winner. AFFW has no operations, no assets, no volume, nothing.

There was a recent indictment of a San Antonio broker involving a similar pump and dump scheme (only this p & d didn't get suspended like FRTD). Does this sound familiar?

The group is accused of pumping up the price of penny stocks and leaving investors holding worthless paper largely in CodeSmart, a company that purported to provide medical coding training required by the Affordable Care Act.

Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch said in a statement: “They took companies with essentially no assets or activity and deceived the market into believing they were worth hundreds of millions of dollars through a dizzying round of insider and unauthorized trades. When the defendants stopped their criminal game of musical shares it was the unsuspecting investors who were left holding the bag.”

They used false and misleading news releases, false and misleading SEC filings, concealed their own ownership interests in the companies, engineered price movements and trading volume in the stocks, and made unauthorized purchases of stock in accounts of unwitting investors, investigators said.

Deborah Whitley, 64, who worked for AT&T for nearly 40 years, put her faith in Bell. Whitley said she met Bell through the recommendations of other AT&T employees. She thought he was a “very good Christian and family man” who would manage her investments well, she said. Not knowing much about investing, she relied on Bell's assurances, she said, including that he would invest conservatively.

“He took my money ... and lost pretty much all of it,” Whitley said.

Remember when Mr. Parilla said that he was a family man? Do you know how many people out there lost big money on this stock? They trusted Parilla, trusted the press releases, trusted "The Wolf of Weed Street" (obligatory lol) and they invested their savings into this awful stock. People should never, ever, ever invest any of their savings in any penny stock. But that is beside the point.

Don't believe that scammers like that exist? Well, they do. And they don't care about you or anyone besides themselves. Mr. Parilla has been involved in other penny stock scams. This has been established. There are just some people out there who can do this stuff (lies to shareholders' faces) and not feel bad about it. They actually enjoy it. Fortunately for potential shareholders, the SEC stepped in and shut this thing down before it went on any further. Parilla was caught with his pants down (fake merger, probably with CSDT, another scam stock—in my opinion—with no operations) and he's since realized that running an OTC scam wasn't as easy as he initially imagined.
