desert_traveller can be more precise about what you trying to say? So far you have only mentioned some topics - what do you know about the contract housing pay etc? Can we have some more details

The OP is very intriguing, in that it makes a lot of what appear to be serious allegations, but gives zero specific information.

DT, what about Bell exactly has given rise to this outburst?

Have you received an offer from Bell? Is someone you know joining them? Was someone you know joining them? Wink

You suggest that people should PM you if they have specific questions.

Most people, however, would be curious to hear what your specific allegations are, and why you do not wish to voice them publicly Confused

I'm not going to make a habit of it, but I have to say, on this particular occasion only, I concur with the evil capitalist B Evil or Very Mad bsi here: DT has obviously been aggrieved by something more than the recruitment / job-application ordeal hinted at here. Let's get it out in the public domain, for the greater good (or at least to satisfy my/our curiosity.)

Well you know, VN, you don't have to agree with me if you don't want to *SOB* However, that you have chosen to do so on this memorable and momentous occasion makes me feel proud to be from the planet Bebz; I am touched beyond words and more than a little emotional right now Crying or Very sad

I have one issue however: what do you mean "evil capitalist"? Who's addressing who (whom?) here? I mean, you're the one who extols the virtues of the stock market, of debentures, and of derivatives, futures and commodities. All I've ever done was to enrich a few real-estate investors on prudent investment in the poor benighted country called Romania, and attract a few inward pennies for the benefit of the disenfranchised and dispossessed local populace, and needless to say, for entirely altruistic reasons!!!!!!!!!

Actually, here's a better way to make money:

Write a letter where you call yourself something like Benedict Aloysius Obakadobado, a 19 years old student from someplace like Cote d'Ebonie or Lower Volta, and tell people that your uncle recently died in a horrific car crash with 49,000 others, and left you a few hundred gazillion dollars, which the government wants to commandeer for itself, and you urgently need some poor sucker to help you transfer this money to switzerland by allowing you to use his bank account, for which assistance you will give him 40% of the proceeds, not to mention your exquisitely beautiful 18 y/o sister who wants a sugar da...I mean mentor, to help with her education and emotional healing.

Hey, forget the markets, and dump real-estate, this is the real money winner...all you have to do is send to 1,000,000,000 email boxes and hope that just ONE rich sucker gives you his bank details. Easy-peezy-lemon-squeezy, I would think.

Presumably they got the record for the largest number of people inside a mini into the Guinness before the crash.

(Though there should be a record for the largest number of corpses inside a mini as well).

A few weeks ago, here in Bucharest, I saw a group of seven girls in a mini.

Great legs, all of them.


But I've never seen a corpse in a mini, I guess they'd already got into good habits.

-Van Norden, seriously misquoting Bebsi, 2007.

Drat, VN, I realise now that all those evil foreign investors whom I unashamedly aid and abet, should really be altruistically abandoning any desire for returns on their investments.

I will, from now on, charge no professional fees of any kind, and next time Mrs. B and I are in Carrefour, I will say to the checkout girl "I have no money to give you, but I am a generous altruist, who doesn't want to exploit your countrymen out of pure love for all of them". That way, I will be assured of a full and bountiful trolley walking to the car park, without having out my hand in my grubby pocket. No more "fumbling in a greasy till for the Bebsis"!!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Wink Very Happy

Thanks VN for showing the Bebsis the light. We are eternally grateful.

The Original Poster has made some very vague statements. I suspect he is not in Saudi and has no direct knowledge of this employer.
