Heather Catania Brian LudlowThe Influence PROMISES BIG RESULTS BUT ALL YOU GET IS EXCUSES, LIES AND ALL YOUR MONEY STOLEN West Hollywood California

About a year ago, Heather Catania approached our marketing guy in Los Angeles about shooting a paid campaign featuring our product and an A-list actress.  The deal sounded very promising and since our guy had a previous relationship with this individual we took his word and said yes to the deal.  Heather said she would be shooting later that week and requested $5,000 ($4,000 for this deal and $1,000 for a general model shoot) which we wired to her immediately.   

Once Heather received our wire she immediately started making excuses why she couldn’t do the shoot that week.  For the next couple of months it was ALL excuses and lies.  Fortunately after 2 months sending her many angry emails she completed the general model shoot but the main part of the deal was far from complete.  Our guy continued to call, text and email her almost everyday and she would promise us every time that the shoot would be complete ASAP.  She even came back to us with a new deal outlined with specific deadlines but not one of those was completed.

After 8 months of lies we finally had our legal team send her a letter requesting our funds back.  Heather told our guy several times that she would be contacting our lawyer to set up a payment schedule but that was over 3 months ago and we never heard anything from her.   We have heard from several sources that she has done this to several other companies and never paid any of her employees.

As far as we are concerned she is a fraud and only used our funds to keep up with her "glamorous" lifestyle in Los Angeles.  If you are thinking of doing any business with Heather Catania or The Influence be aware.
