I never wanted to start doing stories just about pedophiles. It’s been done to death by bloggers more talented than I. However after doing stories about MySpace and Craigslist predators for years I can’t help to be horrified and disgusted at not only some lengths pedophiles will go to but also how the law has [...]

They also included a website that identified Coke as being at a thecoca-colacompany URL. Coke’s actual URL is coca-cola.com.

This is just the phony check scam in a fake red and white package.
