Are there any ladies out there who did such a thing to clients? I cannot understand such a behaviour in a business context? This has to backfire.

Thieves and scam artists usually think they are a lot smarter than they actually are, so it's pretty funny when these ladies pasts come back to bite 'em in the ass.
I understand the reasons for name changes and yes I believe some transgressions should be forgiven. Blackmail and outing are two unforgivable offenses, in my opinion, and I think turnabout is fair play. Shame them and name them!
Side note: I've personally never had a website, have never needed one. I seldom need to advertise. That is the awesome part of keeping your reputation stellar. No reviews and no website doesn't really mean anything, I can put websites and reviews with all the ladies I know of that have rip off reputations and multiple name changes due to bad business practices. You'd think it would be the other way around but again, no one said thieves and scammers are the brightest stars in the sky. The ones you DON'T hear about are the ladies with reviews, not the random BP bait n switches, you hear about those all the time in the alerts section. It's the ones who use their familiarity with the boards and the hobby to extort money from hobbyists, get loans and not pay them back, or a host of other shady behavior, that don't get called out as often. But when they do, it's a beautiful thing.
