Click for article. What’s interesting is that she caught MSN running Errorsafe just a month ago, which she detailed here.

I’ve spent a lot of time tracking down this scam and I think it’s time to share that knowledge. Shortly I will post all my knowledge of this scam — what to look out for and how I think as an industry we can stop it. Stay tuned.
