  1. there used to be a ton of these shows in the U.S. - 20/20, 48 hours, even 60 minutes are only a few. they're so common because they're so cheap to produce and rake in huge profits as a result. don't these shows still exist? but I don't support "ambush" or sensationalistic journalism. as soon as she said she didn't want to be interviewed the cameras should've been TURNED OFF! the entire story could've been done without that nonsense. and they need to report all these acts of fraud by her and the businesses that hired her to the cops and when THEY refuse to investigate then there - they have ANOTHER story to report.

  2. +Cheryl… the problem here is that by reviewing only the bad reviews I get paranoid and suspicious of every business. basically, I don't trust doing business with anyone and being personally screwed on several occasions, with no law to protect me or legal recourse to an option, only reconfirms my malcontent.

  3. the internet has become a den of thieves. this is astroturfing for commercial, rather than political, purposes. its fraud and misrepresentation and the businesses that hire her are MORE guilty than she! capitalism is based upon fraud; it thrives on it. if businesses didn't commit fraud they wouldn't make any money. but I don't support "ambush" or sensationalistic journalism. as soon as she said she didn't want to be interviewed the cameras should've been TURNED OFF! the entire story could've been done without that nonsense. and you need to report all these acts of fraud by her and the businesses that hired her to the cops and when THEY refuse to investigate then there - you have ANOTHER story to report. it looks like they kind of did do that so, good for them.
