Please CONTACT me if you have similar experiences with Oma Hamou aka Alexandra McConnell, have been given bad checks by her, had your rental property destroyed by her, or you are a victim of her scams and lies, and want to share that information to protect others in the future. My email is Rob@AustinWineGuy.com
A complete dossier has been posted, with the details on her activities, notably passing bad checks, stiffing landlords for rent owed and trashing the houses she rents by reason of keeping literally dozens of cats and dogs and not cleaning up after them. Not to mention numerous unpaid judgments against her.
That blog is here.

Robert Atchison
Won a Civil Judgment against Oma Hamou for her failure to pay him consulting fees as she promised him she would do. On March 24, 2011, in a Texas District Courtroom, Oma Hamou promised to pay Bob Atchison $15,000 to "settle" this debt. On April 7. 2011 Oma Hamou told Bob Atchison that she had "half the amount" and would send it to him "immediately". UPDATE: April 26, 2011 Oma Hamou telephoned Mr. Atchison telling him that she had the $15,000 in cash to pay him. Some weeks later now, Mr. Atchison has still received NOTHING from Hamou so far, and Oma Hamou has disappeared without any further contact with Mr. Atchison. Many others report similar behavior from Oma Hamou.
UPDATE June 3, 2011. Mr. Atchison is proceeding with Post Judgment Document Production demands from Oma Hamou, her failure to comply by providing the requested financial, employment and asset documentation will result if Contempt of Court. Mr. Atchison has also subpoenaed Hamou to attend a videotaped Deposition to disclose her assets, finances, and employment information. Her failure to appear will also result in Contempt of Court.
boba@pallasweb.com is Mr. Atchison's email address for confirmation.

Subject: Re: The Motorcycle
Mr. O'Connor,
I will not be arrested for the motorcycle as you left it here because I was going to buy it. If you no longer want to sell it to me, I have no problems giving it to Ralph. He must contact me and arrange a time and the day with me so that we can coordinate our schedules. He or no other friend of yours can just show up and expect to gain access.
She admits here that she doesn't OWN the motorcycle and admits Mr. O'Connor wants his bike BACK.
So what does "Alexandra McConnell" aka Oma Hamou aka Alexandra Moran do??
She SELLS THE MOTORCYCLE to one "Craig" for $4,500!!
"Craig" gets suspicious because "Alexandra" can't produce the title (which of course Mr. O'Connor still had) and would only give him a handwritten bill of sale (a copy of which I have in my possession now). The Los Angeles County Sheriffs were involved YET AGAIN with her and her various names to safely return the motorcycle to Mr. O'Connor!
Selling property that she admits isn't HERS to sell legally! Isn't that "grand theft"??
Also, taking money for property you do not own nor have title to by claiming it is yours to sell is "THEFT BY DECEPTION" a felony crime for which she has been convicted three times in the past.

OMA HAMOU AKA ALEXANDRA MCCONNELL BANKRUPTCY DISCREPENCIES:
Oma Hamou Alexandra McConnell filed for Bankruptcy with the Federal Court earlier in 2010. Here is her Bankruptcy Petition, this is the entire PDF file of 2mb, which is public record from the Court.
—Omission of Assets on Bankruptcy Petition and Schedules is considered A False Statement Under Penalty of Perjury, 18 U.S.C. § 152(3):
Oma Hamou owns two business entities, Enigma Films, Inc., and The Sarskaia Foundation . Further, Oma Hamou owns and operates a website at www.OmaHamou.com, where she and alleged friends post information about her. Interestingly, Ms Hamou lists her own company, Enigma Films as her employer. The clear inference is that Enigma Films earns money with which to pay her as an employee. Yet, there is no declaration or disclosure of her ownership of these companies, nor disclosure of the value of these assets she owns.
Notice also: Hamou swears her "employer" is Reseda Screen and Glass, the SAME company who's name was on the check written on a closed Florida account to Eric Cowan. ALSO, Reseda Screen and Glass is owned by Jim Sproul, the SAME person who co-signed the promissory note for money Hamid Refai gave to Oma Hamou/Alexandra McConnell.
Hamou received in excess of $50,000 in cash from Mr. Refai in May 2009, (see above) for which she signed a promissory note. Hamou made no disclosure of the whereabouts of this large sum of cash, nor did she disclose just where this substantial asset went.
Hamou was charged with Felony Forgery (Cal. Penal Code 476) in San Bernardino County, Case FVI802540 Defendant 3045972 under her alias name of Alexandra Oma McConnell on December 2, 2008. Throughout 2009 she retained and paid for the services of her attorney Brian Watson. Charges were dismissed against her on January 11, 2010 when she paid Victim Restitution to her victim one Mrs. Huiku Batchelor, her former landlord.
Despite this payment being made within the six month window requiring disclosure, Ms Hamou failed to disclose this payment and preference of a creditor to the Federal Court.
—Omission of Assets on Bankruptcy Petition and Schedules is considered A False Statement Under Penalty of Perjury, 18 U.S.C. § 152(3).
