The latter is weird though. Because she was scammed the city suddenly didn't like her business at home anymore?

Or was it the other way around. The city wanted her to quit the business (at her home) and then she was scammed?

Story is very weird. Even employee's questioned her actions. And she kept shipping. We're being played here. Oh well.

If this really happened... The insurance company could have contacted the other one to be sure all was up and up.

I'm not sure this really happened.

Google says there was one. Last review 1 month ago.

Poor lady, but this was an infinitely stupid thing to do.

I own a business and prob get 2-3 scam phone calls or emails a day - if a business owner doesn’t have the sense to figure out that such obvious scams are too good to be true, they prob shouldn’t be running a business in 2022…
