Pdfgo is rated "Bad" with 1.1 / 5 on Trustpilot Do you agree with Pdfgo's TrustScore? Voice your opinion today and hear what 189 customers have already said.

PSA: Whatever you do, stay the heck away from pdfgo.co! It's a scam. They charge 10p to merge 2 PDFs (which doesn't even work) then they charge 49.90 to your card, claiming you bought a subscription and didn't cancel within a secret 24 hour window! horrible bastards uk.trustpilot.com/review/pdfgo...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Top class science reporting in today's Daily Record - claimed proof of Scottish time travel due to the appearance of an 'iPhone' (looks more like a harmonica) in an old 1882 painting of Robert Burns. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/ti...
