it is not surprising that her shady operation collapsed under the weight of ruthless fraud, deception, plagiarism, threats, incompetence and psychotic drivels.
It is a bit sad. I was a part of her company and I legitimately completed orders etc. I believe the company was making money as well. I was invited to Egypt to visit her and sign some documents. She lives in a very rich area of Egypt with a butler and driver etc. All of that is true. I believe her parents were involved heavily with Hosni and are thus suffering now after the revolution. This is perhaps why Hala has not paid anybody since that revolution. I know FW is owed some money, I am owed some money, and I know three other people that are owed money.
During this whole ordeal, this is what has "happened":
1) She is on a terrorist list and they stop all transfers
2) She sent a Saudi national to America to hand the money over to me...in cash...and he was stopped by the local cops and imprisoned (although I know all of the cops in the small town I once resided and nobody had a Saudi national in their custody).
3) Her grandmother died (about three or four times now)
4) Some kind of health problems
5) She was shot in the Egypt revolution
6) She will give me the money once she arrives in England, but the revolution has caused a Mad Max scenario to occur at the Egyptian airport and she cannot leave.
7) She was shot again in Egypt.
8) Another writer was owed money by her and she stated that I personally would send the money to this writer and vice versa.
9) No power in her house because of the revolution.
10) No internet in her house because of the revolution.
11) They are rounding up Hosni supporters and she is in hiding.
12) Her aunt died...or somebody close...I forget. It wasn't the grandmother this time.
13) She tried to come here personally and pay me, but she was sent back to Egypt because she is on a terror list (yet she can come and go to England).
14) She actually gave me a check before I left Egypt. I cashed the check, which was declined for insufficient funds and I was charged $580 for the check. It was a very large check.
There are plenty others that are similar to what is listed above. But that is the tip of excuses that she has given me.
I am grateful for visiting Egypt; however, she needs to understand that you cannot constantly lie to people and manipulate. She matches the description of a sociopath, which means she needs help. Manipulative to the point of calling me her brother etc., but sending me on wild goose chases to track down phantom money owed to me. That's what happens when you are in a business with a sociopath. I doubt any money will come from her ever again and I would imagine she will be on here posting negatives about myself, FW and others. That's my factual story dealing with Hala, and from the looks of this thread it appears my story is not unique.
