    I am the reporter and more at zolaenterprises.com and wanted people to be aware it is coming from cashcrate the survey scam. We did an article on them and we even did articles on addrive scams which they got word of. They took addrive the no pay scams and traded it for pay with virus scams. This is another of MANY examples of what does happen when scammers deal with scammers. Just a heads up. I guess with all the bad food and even world wide e coli people forget that the net is a means that needs to also be protected. If not for the net I would be no more I am sure zolaenterprises.com scam busting is not what I do it is what I end up stck with.

    Contrivirus scammers perpetuators will be heavily dealt with for their deceptive scams. In the spiritual realm, watchers and sentinels have been dispatched to deliver appropriate punishments for these people's crimes. On every full moon, watch the skids of the roads, the cancer on the lungs, the son that will never return, the burnning flesh from one of their cigarettes. All punishment delivered through the spiritual realm and will be materialized upon these criminals life1
