I’m going on record as saying this lady, if her name is Milanovich, looks awfully like a scammer I’d encountered back in Austin a few years back. The only seeming difference is the eyebrows, if she’s stopped trying to do them herself. The resemblance is uncanny.
She only got me for about $150, and a few incidentals, so at least it’s not $71k.

Seeing as how it is fraud, I consider it a point in favor of the argument.
