I came across a tweet on Lomeli's Twitter today that I found very concerning. While mourning the loss of one of her regulars who sadly passed away recently, she recounted a story in which she was holding a contest, where the highest tipper would win a date with her. This member proceeded to spend a large amount of money, with no intention of receiving the prize, so that nobody else would win.
This seems incredibly suspicious to me, especially when so many other date contests have been rigged or scams. If a member tips and it is explicitly not for a contest, why would they be entered into the contest? If a member wins a prize and they do not accept it, shouldn't the prize then go to the next member in line?
I do not bring these up to drag this deceased member's name through the mud (I am sorry he has to be involved at all), but only to raise the question of how ethical her actions were from a business standpoint, and leave it up to my fellow members to answer that question for themselves with the evidence given as they observe her and how she handles her business in the future.
As someone who has been a longtime supporter for Lomeli, I feel betrayed and disappointed, but do not take this post as anything more than a presentation of evidence from which you form your own opinion. I only want to inform and let you decide if you feel as I do, or if you view this different than me and will continue to support her.
Thank You.
