I have had some *extremely* frustrating experiences with them regarding another product, and am in the process of (hopefully) getting my money back. At any rate, if anyone wants to give them a try, they have moved. Their new address is: M.A.S.T. Inc. 1395 Greg St., Suite 106 Sparks, NV 89431 The phone number is 1-702-359-0444, and I would strongly recommend that before you send them ANY money, call them and get as much information about the Flick-off as you can. And write it down! It may come in handy later if you have any problems with them. Again, you'd probably be better off getting a similar product from another company.
