Purple Briefcase Purple Briefcase- liars and deceptive! New York
Our company was contacted by the co-founder and VP of the company, Purple Briefcase, Allie Keenan. She posed as an educator from Victor School District in New York. She contacted our company and asked for an online demonstration of all of our career education and readiness products for students. She said she wanted to purchase these for her students in grades 10-12 because she cared about their futures. We set up a demonstration and answered all of her questions. We asked many of her as well and she had great fabricated answers!
Only when Allie asked for her own demo account to take our products for a test run and provided a gmail email address did things seem "off". She should have had a district email address. We looked her up on LinkedIn and then did web searches and discovered that she recently started a competitive company in the last three months. We would have been happy to talk to her and share information to help students-perhaps even work in partnership since what we offer is actually quite different. She lied and was dishonest for days. What schools want to work with a company like this? What school district wants people out there posing that they work for their district? This is creepy and unethical.
People should know that this new company is like. How many companies is she calling and lying to?Heads up everyone.
