what is wrong with people these days....who bases business on scamming people??

[reefwars]

time to vent........


about 3 weeks ago i started work for a guy who is opening up a tile and stone store, after an interview he hired me right there on the spot. his store is not open but e is already doing jobs....great i though since ive been off for 2 weeks.....


he tells me he will get me to do his jobs and give me shop hours.


ive put in 70 hrs at his shop, did a tile job for a lady who absolutely loved it (tile is a family business and ive done it my whole life) .


i also re done his mosque , 2 full washrooms decked right out and looks amazing......since this was the guys church i donated the work and said to my self this is my christmas good deed.....


after the mosque a friend of his called him and said he had hired a renovator to do his house its a pretty big job left in a bad mess so my boss said no worries ill have my guys take care of it...


me and another guy went there and got to work on his house, yesterday the boss says hes pulling out simply because he hasnt got the time to finish it he has better jobs he wants to do, this poor guy is a church guy who works with the church and has a wife and 5 young kids and my boss wants to pull out half way through it....the idea of us even going there was to help someone he goes to church with out because he got scammed....


so when he says this to me yesterday i say you cant be serious how can you just pull out and leave the guys house like this without finishing you made a promise...

anyways the ending is im finishing the guys house for free so the poor guy doesnt get screwed, my boss has already been paid up front and i no longer work for that shady guy....


he owes me over 3000 in wages and ive been calling all last night...no answer...texts....no answer.....started calling again at 5 this morning ....no answer


im a smart person and i never do anything without getting it in writing so i have the quote/invoice signed by him, about 350 pics since the day i started work, i have the other worker as a witness, yesterday i got clarance to turn on his camera when i gave the signal when we started talking about money owed and he agreed to it clarance has it on video with sound with me and him in the pic but the boss doesnt know that yet, and i have the home owner who said he would gladly go to court on my behalf if he doesnt pay me what ive simply earned which is my wages.....


if this little pudgey man burns me or ripps me off for no reason ill take him to court over it and i have plenty of proof besides including e mails, and other witnesses at the mosque who can testify i worked for him.

when i gave him my invoice and hours yesterday morning i made him sign it his copy and mine so i doubt theres any way he can get out of it.
ich is where he advertises) and ill follow everyone of his ads with a ad of my own saying what type of business he is running.

previous to me starting work three clients are holding pay from him of about 5-6 thousand saying he does bad business isnt qualified ,didnt get what they bought....

since i started with him ive had 3 clients the lady and the mosque(which both are very happy and loved the job i had done) and the third is this guy im helping out now so he doesnt get screwed over.


pretty ****ed here now today but ill give him untill friday to write me a cheque or at least answer my calls if not ill go down and file papers agaist him, wouldnt look good with him just starting a business


.....fml grrrr

if i need to go that far then i will also start placing ads on kijiji(wh
