I was hired by Kendra from Amadaus Music/Picasso Home Art back in January for teaching drawing.
She contacted me after seeing a posting I made offering my services on Craigslist.
I contacted family immediately and we began lessons and because of scheduling conflicts it has taken us awhile to complete the 8 weeks of lessons. We are currently at 7th lesson.
Meanwhile, I have am contacted by Maria from Picasso who introduces me to new client. We begin lessons.
Meanwhile, the mother of first student tells me that Picasso had charged her account 3 TIMES more for lessons(over $2, 000)She had already been trying to get in contact with them for a week or two before telling me.
So then I start trying to get ahold of them for my fees, too, to no avail.
I told new client, who luckily hasn't had her card charged. And also her husband is a lawyer, so hopefully he'll be able to help.
But I am continuing relationship with clients on our own, but:
This company is a SCAM!!!
BEWARE!!!
Thank you everyone else for posting so I know I am not alone.
Others speak up too.
