Business ProfileforA Solo Publicist

In February 2022 I was approached by ****** ***** offering PR services. She insisted that payment via ***** would "save transaction fees". I wired $280 via ***** and never heard from her again. I've sent repeated emails with no reply. I've requested a refund. As you can clearly see from other reviews, this is what she does. I am unable to retrieve my money via ***** and so I'm seeking that the BBB please help in any way it can to prevent this person to continue defrauding small business owners. More detail in the review below. I am happy to forward emails if needed. Thank you. BBB Review: Mortified that I fell for this. A well-written email and a decent website covered in logos from legitimate media outlets goes a long way in making someone look legitimate. Unfortunately ****** *****, con-artist with numerous email addresses and websites to hide behind, took my money and vanished, just as she has with these other brands and businesses. I've reported this fraud to ********** ********* ******* (the host of *********************), and the FTC. I really hope they can put a stop to this. My money is not retrievable, which, for a small brand for whom every dollar spent on marketing is a dollar you sweat over and second guess, is really tragic. It's disgusting that people like this exist and probably somehow convince themselves they're not criminals sitting at a keyboard. Everyone who reads this, please do whatever you can to bring her scam to light so at least she won't continue getting away with this. That's the only potential consolation we have left.
