Life comes with risks but taking some risks can be dangerous to the extent you can loose all.......I was tricked by a crypto investment company who I thought were legit, I invested and when it was time to receive my returns they told me to scan my bitcoin wallet bar code i did that and sent to them all of a sudden all my bitcoins were gone and i was devastated, i explained what had happened to my brother who introduced me to premiumhackservices AT gmail DOT com and they helped recover my funds, +14106350697 Whatsapp, how it all happened is still like a magic to me but I want to say thank you

I am very sorry for this person’s family/friends.


Wherever you go in Athens, though, a lot of people (including students and “academics”) act like they don’t know what crosswalks are.


Couple this with everyone driving over the speed limit and being distracted by cellphones—-how does it not happen everyday?

Our sincere condolences for your loss. However, Your beef is with the police, who are the source of the information that we published.

Upon contemplation, the term "homeless " has been removed from the story. We do not believe whether your sister was housed or not is relevant.

I am afraid to cross the Atlanta highway at a crosswalk.
