would this mean that if you buy shares now that you'll get 9 times more shares and be able to sell them at nearly the same price? Sounds too good to be true but hey, it's always a possibility

Sounds like a forward split. You won't make any money off it directly, but it should increase liquidity and make it easier to get in and out of the stock. (It's a little pricey for an OTCBB and the 10 day trading average is only 350 shares).
