But, being a 'professional', I would think that one would be diligent to make sure that there is absolutely no work other than their own no their website. Thats just carelessness.

But I think the same images were on her facebook page also.

That was the clincher for most of the posters. Someone had pointed out the template excuse but FB was inexcusable.

Not only that but they weren't stock photography, they were from multiple photogs that actually commented on the groupon. It was a nice bit of pwnage, followed by her trying to back peddle and using AEs to cover up.
