Justine Galo of Tiger Lotus Media came to me claiming to be a PR rep and my clothing company, Project Industries (www.project-industries.com) got suckered into providing clothing samples with the promise of receiving PR services in exchange for her using my company name in her portfolio.
After not hearing from her for weeks at a time to follow up on the "meetings" she was to have with stores and just to get updates in general, I got fed up. I called her other "clients" only to find that the only one who had good things to say about her was a friend of a friend and actually owned all the small companies listed in her portfolio that I was told I'd get a good reference from. I couldn't find any other client who didn't say that she lied to them and that she was simply horrible to deal with. I'm aware that these are calls I should have made prior to engaging her, but I took her at her word because she was seemingly, like me, an entrepreneur starting up a small company. Lesson learned for sure.
After doing more research, I also found out that she was fired from one of her previous jobs as a cashier at Safeway for stealing from the till.
At that point I'd had enough and made every effort to contact her or Michael Roth (her so-called "creative director") to have her return my clothing samples. Michael is nothing but a lap dog and went on and on about how she's having family issues and medical issues. A quick check of her Facebook profile negated all of that as she was obviously spending her time getting ready for a vacation and supposedly working for her other "clients."
She got in touch once over a month ago to let me know my samples were going to be mailed back to me and that too proved to be a lie.
Do NOT waste your time on Justine Galo and Tiger Lotus Media. She is nothing but a liar and a cheat and those employed by Tiger Lotus Media are unprofessional at best.
