Hmm... got an email and a hit on my site.....I got excited that someone was interested in my business, so I called and left a message.
Katarina Montgomery called me back and gave me a speech about ExpressJet needing an exclusive provider.  We spoke for quite some time.  I became suspicious when she sent me forms that I should get soon.....in a couple of days, but they were also being sent to my email..... i did not have a fax number available.
In the meantime, "How can what card would you like to use to handle this charge?" it was $495 or $595 ?? I actually lost interest once I was told I was needing to pay them.
Still ...now I wanted to see where this was going. I shared that I wasn't comfortable not having seen the paperwork yet. Then it became very evident that this was definitely not for me. Now...I was told that I needed to complete the transaction quickly, as there may not be an opportunity if I delayed.  So, I insisted that I would rather see the forms first.  Katarina said she would call me back in 30 minutes to see if I got the forms. I did not find the forms in my email(but was contacted this way) and I did not call her with a fax number so that she could fax (her first suggestion).  She did call me back a few times.... i did not pick up, as I had not done my research yet.  I did feel that if it was legit and a benefit to me,  it would still be available give o take a few hours.  
Katarina fed off of my enthusiasm for what I am passionate about. As I go back over the entire phone conversation, it was purely based on my buying into the proposed concept. It WAS great had I not been expected to pay for a service I never asked for in the first place. I was also contacted on my business sight through my client intake form.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am working with Express Jet Airlines located Atlanta, GA. I am looking for a wellness coach that some of their employees can go to and save money. You will be featured in newsletters, updates and on the private web page we are designing for them. The employees will also have a new free mobile app to download so they can search your business from their smart phones. If you can offer a discount/incentive and want to work with their employees please contact me ASAP!


Sincerely,

Just pay attention and remember... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always check out the legitimacy of businesses that contact you.  Follow you instincts and do not be tempted by fast money.

Peace and blessings!

I forgot to add that the company was to be "Express Airlines in Atlanta.

Happy to answer any questions....

Peace!

How is it that these folks are still in business? They ripped my company off 10 years ago and then called me again yesterday with the same scam, regarding Northrop Grumann. Thieves! flush your money down the toilet. You'll get better results than dealing with these liars...

They were very pushy. 'This is not advertising' Paying to be on a perks card sure sounds like advertising.

Very percistant about talking to the owner and only the owner. Not the person that handles advertising, not the manager. "Sorry the owner does not run the business" to which they reply "Perhaps you could contact them, and we can still discuss this with them"

Katarina Montgomery tried to sweet talk me into giving them a one time fee of $704.0 dollars,  plus $98.00 a month fee to supply employees of the state of AZ with discounted services, and be the sole supplier of these services. She is very good!
I have filed a complaint in to the AZ attorney general and asked them to also report this to the NY attorney general, where the scam is apparently based from.
