  6. Real Life Review – The Woman • “I agree with all the negative comments made here. She is very deceptive. The worst experience of my life. What was already a traumatic experience was made massively worst by this duplicitous woman. Wish I had seen these reviews sooner.” • “She overcharges, blames her mistakes on you and is nasty to her own clients.”

  7. Ask Yourself… • Would you do business with this person? • Would you recommend this person? • Would you give her a chance anyway? Would you buy a car from her?

  8. Real Life Review – The Man 1 • “This is an AWFUL man in general. He is very condescending and downright rude! He has no compassion. He tries to intimidate his clients into saying what he wants them to say. He asks a question then will not even shut up long enough to allow anyone to speak to answer. When an answer can actually be given, he tries to twist what was said. I wish this man actually owned a conscience so he could one day feel bad for the person he has become and his effect on others.”

  9. Ask Yourself… • Would you do business with this person? • Would you recommend this person? • Would you give him a chance anyway? Would you buy a car from him?
