I already sent in a dispute with my credit card so hopefully that takes care of that.
Just submitted a review as well but since that takes a couple days to get reviewed I thought I'd get the message out to save any other hobbyists some trouble.
I know Katie has a ton of good reviews so this took me by surprise as well, but she totally scammed me out of $450. I sent her $450 in hotels.com gift cards (which she agreed to as a form of payment) and got nothing in return except a few emails/texts to which she has stopped responding to all together.
Now I'm not sure if I'm the first person she's ripped off or not, but I just want to get the word out that she has ripped me off and I'm guessing would rip other people off as well.
but hardly surprising.
She is the queen of NCNS.
I think that NCNS title goes to Brielle. Although forgetting an appointment and ignoring calls/texts isn't as bad as stealing people's money.
She had a reputation for NCNS like no one I have ever seen before or since. At one point she was also advertising a service to write reviews for providers. This news doesn't surprise me at all.
Call hotels.com and cancel the gift cards and have them reissue. Report them stolen.

Could be that someone pirated her website or set up a duplicate. Happens all the time with legitimate business'. Why the hell would any provider request gift cards? Pre payment with a gift card is a classic scam.
Unfortunately you can't trust the reviews of someone that was assiciated with a fake review service.
She must be very newbie friendly, as no other provider has as many 9/9 reviews from hobbyists that have only seen her.
At least when the reviews provider does this sort of thing the word mets out.
Not like answering the adds with no name or number so you can not even post when it happens.
Shit happens sometimes.
Usually it stinks.

Did she attempt to cancel or offer to reschedule in one of them?
Who cares about Twitter! If she can't defend her actions here on TER, then she's off many of our lists.
She took her tweets in regards to this situation down, but didn't hesitate to throw others under the bus in them.
I don't tweet so no clue about who got thrown under the bus. Why don't you enlighten us about this?
