This woman, Julita Cigrad ("Jinggy"), who runs The Usi Reiki Center is a scam artist and is now using my photos and business name to try to scam other vendors. I am NOT going to be at this event in Cedar Rapids (because it probably won't even happen!!) or ANY event by this woman. She is using my name and photos to promote a fake event.

On March 15th she scammed me and other vendors out of money for a booth fee(not to mention time and gas). She collected our money and then her card was declined at the hotel where the event was supposed to be at. She never showed or answered anyone's calls, messages, or emails.
I filed a police report and so did other vendors. She has done this before to other people and is being taken to court.

She has blocked me on Facebook so I can't tag her or the events but here are screenshots, so if any of ya'll wanna take a look at the page and report that post with my photos on it, I would appreciate it.

TLDR;
BEWARE: JULITA CIGRAD IS A SCAM ARTIST AND I WILL NOT BE AT ANY EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH HER.

Since Facebook recently changed their guidelines, won't be fact checking anymore, and allows bigotry, misogyny, racism, and homophobic propaganda, I will not be posting here. I will only be posting on IG, until that also becomes what this site has become. I don't care if I lose followers or income. This isnt right, and if you think it is, I don't want you following me anyways. I'm done keeping my mouth shut for the fear of getting "political" (even though this is SO much more then "politics"). I doubt anyone will see this anyways, I used too many "bad" words.

If you wish to keep seeing my posts, please follow my Instagram.

Farewell.

Looking at my page, it seems like meta hasn't been posting to Facebook when I try to post to both Instagram and Facebook at the same time... So that's why there's been less engagement I guess 😅😐
