She a Thief, a liar, and a bad business person to do business with doesn’t follow through with her word, and she will try to bring out of your money. It happened to at least three or four of my family

She would book shows and not show up and take the down payment and then make some time by excuse saying oh I cant pay you thats in the contract and you dont get your money back all kinds of stuff like that. Shes just a liar I would not do business with this lady at all.

Photobooth disaster

I paid her in full $175 to provide 2 hours of service for my daughters 10th birthday. She didn't call or show up.

I messaged her several times and finally got a response back that she could not attend a park due to the outlets. She gave me a credit of 2 hours for another day. I informed hed i was having my bridal shower on November 24th and it was at my house. She confirmed and confirmed the night before.

Come Saturday i texted her 5 times to ask where she was at and even left a voice message. I recieved nothing again. I asked her for a refund and she kept giving me the around.

She tried to say she zelle the money and i never received then told me i didnt follow guidelines. She is now threatening me since i exposed her.

Disapointed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I met Cynthia through a friend I couldn’t do a photobooth because it was to far. Cynthia seems really nice atleast to me.

I trusted her and made designs for her photo booth business social booth or some crap like that. Long story short she owes me 450 dollars in design services. She disapointed me Big time. She had stories of walking away from clients because she felt disrespected.

The way she stiffed me on the bill shows me she has no morals or professionalism. She was fired from the job she worked at apparently. I feel bad for her because she had a tumor in her stomach and I tried to be a good person to her. But she is no where to be found.

I’m saddened that my work was not respected. Cynthia if you are reading this. Call me. I would love to talk to you.

I really hope you do the right thing. Because I had your best interest at heart. If anyone reading this needs a real photographer, videographer etc please call me 213-944-**** I actually get the job done correctly. Sorry to everyone effected.

This is what gives us freelancers a bad name.

Not all of us are like this. But what goes around comes around that’s for sure.

Cynthia Cruz Photography Photographer Review from Huntington Beach, California

I totally agree with you! She is full of ***!

I hired her for a pre-shoot to my wedding. It was a small infinite event. She offered a 4 hour shoot. We did the shoot and the only time I got to see the pictures was on FB.

THE DAY I received the prints I almost had a meltdown. They were the worst pictures you can imagine. Think of a tiny picture 1x1 inch stretched out into an 8x10 and bigger. It was horribly blurry. And she sent me an album of which she said was a personal gift..... This album was literally 1x1. It was almost like I was waiting for someone to jump out with a camera and tell me this was a joke.

I got an attorney involved and the reason I dropped things was because I was going to pay more out of pocket and wasn't going to get crap. Because that is all she produced.... CRAP!

I had one or two pictures that family took but those 4 hrs spent with her were a waste of time.

Can't wait till she gets hers. She also had her own website where she monitored her post-client comments.

That lady is sick in the head.

This is her FB link. Stay away!!!

Cynthia Cruz Photography

I hired Cynthia to take pictures for my son's baptism on May 25,2013 To start off she text me the day of the even at 2:14 pm (she is supposed to be there at 4 pm) to tell me that she couldn't make it by that she was sending a photographer. During the even as I'm talking to the photographer he tells me he does not even know her she hired him last minute from Craigslist.

After the even I emailed her on June 2 to get an update on my pictures and she informed me that it takes 10 days and she would send me a link, after that it was text and email that I would randomly send her to get an update and she would not respond. On June 19 I got a text message forwarded to me saying that the photographer that took the pictures at my even wanted to know if I still wanted the pictures because he still had them because Cynthia never responded to him when he tried to contact her to get paid and give her the pictures. I text her on June 20 and asked her for an update and she had the nerve to tell me she was done and going to email me a link with my pictures (I don't know how if she didn't have them) I told her ok but she needed to send me the link that day or I wanted a refund her responds was ok. Guess what?

I didn't get a link so I texted her on June 21 that since she couldn't deliver on our contract she needed to refund me my full amount, she had the nerve to tell me that she only refunds 50% and since I was asking for the full amount she would have to get her business lawyer and the cops involve to investigate. Investigate what? That she didn't do what she was paid to do! I told her that was fine.

And today June 24 here we are one day short since the day of my even and yet no picture. She is a total scam.

Cynthia Cruz/Cindy Haro currently works (sits on her *** at a booth) at Knott's. She somehow got into the security dept.

where she is being investigated for multiple issues. She has been scamming another ex employee out of money & emotions. She claims to be ex-military, which upon research is false. She is not a photographer or a veteran.

She is a disgrace to both professions. She is not only a fraud but a military groupie. She's not capable of performing real officer duties at Knott's so she works graveyard & sits in a booth, hiding & staying trying to stay below the radar.

Hopefully the people she has committed fraud against will have their day. Another bottom feeder that will eventually be fully exposed.

Anonymous, feedback and common law it sounds like you are defending her ? I think I know who you are?

Guest

Sounds like this *** just got EXPOSED. It's unfortunate that these hard working individuals got scammed on what's supposed to be a blessed day. I would recommend that civil and criminal action be taken on her.

your BF/ Husband works @ ULC Limousine in Buena Park.
