Also an update, I just got information from a friend that they now go under Fambios Computer Incorporated located at the same location. They stupidly used the same name Keisha Davis, and they don't even check if they sent the invitation.
Here's the email address they had to sent the information to:
[email protected]Their website is
http://www.fambioscomputerinc.org they used the same number as the Beacon one. So I am assume they are the smartest people in the room
