Met this nice lady (or so I thought) at a business function, where she informed me that she was the "Manager" of a business marketing firm, TollBooth Marketing. As a business owner, I thought I could use her services and she sounded like she knew what she was talking about. She's mature, about 60, and seemed to be legit. A couple of weeks after paying a sizeable retainer, however, she immediately became evasive when I inquired about progress, and when I further pressed for progress on her services, she became downright hostile, almost as if she were bi-polar based on our oh-so-friendly early meetings.
She's a take your money and run person. I should have known better but she turned on the charm and I fell for it. Run away from her as far as you can.
I've got a lawyer looking into this but he's not hopeful since I don't have much in writing. Avoid anything to do with Diane Kasperitis, or (Diane McFadden which I learned is an alias she sometime uses) like the plague and hide your wallet.....
