Gina may have started her small business with good intentions, but over the years it has grossly declinded. Customer support still makes a pretense, but if Gina becomes involved, it's all over... She's not rational and it's not possible to have a civil discussion with her. She quickly becomes abusive and her language deteriorates to the point it could make a sailor blush.
Additionally, she doesn't seem to have either the Providers' or the Clients' best interest at heart. Her biggest interest would appear to be to continue to gain the $129/year membership fee, and if you have a problem with her services, or a concern, her only seemingly way to deal with it is to ban you from her site. A refund of any remaining pro rated "membership fee" is completely out of the question.
I reported an incident which frightened me, to a Nation-wide data base that concerns itselfs with those issues. Gina somehow became aware that I had not contacted her to relay my unpleasant interaction with that particular client, but had gone straight to the Nation-wide Agency. Experience had shown me when I last contacted Gina, at Preferred 4-11, it neither resolved my problem, and that she was most abrasive, abusive, called me a liar, accused me of trying to "stir up drama" where none existed, and threatened to ban me from her site.... So, I really didn't want any more interactions with this woman, who seemed borderline psychotic, and wasn't able to handle criticism at all.
The person I was making a complaint about had not only been charged with several counts of mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud (which, although it took a bit of research, was very clearly a matter of public record.) Additionally, that same person had served prison time for those transgressions and was now a felon... Lastly, he had not been forthright with me, and was attempting another scam... So much for her screening. When I mentioned that she had verified "Felons" on her site, she became indignant and called me "a Prom Queen", and very bluntly mentioned that she had some felonies in her past, and that doesn't necessarily "make you a bad person". Perhaps it doesn't, but if I'm going to be relying on a service that purports to do a background screen, and who's purported goal is "SAFETY FIRST", I expect a bit more than to be harangued for alerting others to the hap-hazard job that she is currently performing. After the debacles in Appleton, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado; and more recently, Knoxville/Nashville, Tennessess, I have no faith in this company's ability to do anything except collect "fees". I've cancelled my membership, and in no way, even by membership with P-411, want to be affiliated with Gina and Preferred 411. It no longer is a positive reflection.

She's a monster
She's an abusive pimp, and a scourge to the industry.
