She came into our office Wednesday July 28, 2011 and was on training mode. But, did not really train us. She 1 hour because she got a phone call and sher had a family emergency. I wrote her a check for $750.00 and she promised to come back the next day and continue to train us where she left off. The next day I went into my computer to see what she did with quickbooks and to my surprise nothing was working. She downloaded a virus and all my files were gone. I called Connie Brown and it just went staright to Vmail. By the time I got to talk to her she made excuses that she got into an accident and that she would need a rental car and that she will make arrangements to see us in a couple of days. She sent us another contract via email from her email [email protected].

It's been a couple of weeks now and Connie Brown is no where to be found and she keeps on cancelling her appointment with us. Our check was cashed.

Last Friday, August 12, 2011 we decided to searcg her name online. Her name came up and there were lots of complaints about her in different web portals. After reading all the complaints and did more reseach about her I called her number and left her a message stateting that she is a scam and that she needs to pay us back and that if she does not we will report her to the District Attorney's office. She returned the call and said she was in the hospital again. But promised to see me Today, August 15, 2011 and return the money she took. I called her today and she did not answerr the call. I had my Office Manager post he rbusiness card on Facebook last Friday because I knew that I will not see my $750,00 from Connie Brown.
