->> Try this:

Google the phone number, then Google the results for the full business name that first search returns, then check out some of the low star-rated reviews that show up on the first page of those results...awesome!

->> From watching the news interview you'd think that'd be someone who does not have to steal others images for his portfolio like pointed out in the reviews online, absolutely amazing. That email is outright confusing, I turn down people I actually know personally if I don't think they are up to par, to just send that email to someone you don't know is just a wee bit off rocker.

->> So 36 years ago Dennis scams Teddy into taking a photo. Why should his MO change now? And how hard is it to con a drunk? This guy is worst than a Nigerian, Dennis hides among us. Dennis if you are lurking out there, and we know you are...just move on to greener fields, we got you pegged here.

PS: Whoever gave me the "inappropriate", e-mail me and tell me why. Or just hide behind your mouse or stylus.
