Did Fake Attorney Scam Woman Out of Money?

[@vickymarinou6271]

The fact that she actually accepted coming on judge Judy to be exposed nationwide instead of just giving the lady back her 200 dollars shows such bad decision making

the plaintiff not only sued for the return of the money, but for much more. This is what you hear after Judy announces her verdict

Didn’t think she will be exposed

[@tundequadri6236]

She was just a stupid person. The plaintiff knew she had her by the balls that's she went for the kill knowing it was a case of false pretense but the pretender ought to have negotiated her way out first by returning the sum collected and then returning all documents in her possession.

It's obvious, as Judge Judy speculated, that she's a hustler. I can assure you that this was NOT the Defendant's first rodeo and that there are other victims that she preyed upon.
