Gainesville, FL --

One baggie, two rocks, and a fake $50 bill landed one business in hot water in southeast Gainesville, Florida.

Last month, Liberty Tax Service sent out a promotion that encouraged people to file their W-2's with them, but people from the Lincoln Estates neighborhood in the town thought the ad was trying to say something else.

Doris Edwards, Gainesville resident: "This neighborhood is not trying to get down on any one specific company, there was a wrong done to this neighborhood and we just want to make sure that it does not happen again and that people are respectful."

Liberty Tax officials say the mailers were not intended to look like drugs and were pulled as soon as someone complained they were offensive.
