these people will be sure to cheat you, as they have me!

for 2.5 months they've dragged their heels, constanly making excuses why they couldn't pay me. then they told me my file had been closed because i had been paid! when i confronted them with concrete evidence that i was not paid, they invented lies and made vague threats against me.

they hide behind anonymous email addresses, they have no real office, only a virtual one where the receptionist of the whole serviced office floor answers the phone pretending to be them.

beware of "brian" he is the scam artist behind this whole operation. i posted a message about this company back in august because i wasn't seeing any money out of them, only one excuse after another, and took that message down after "brian" promised to pay me. promise after promise followed, to be met recently by excuse after excuse. now that i showed them their own email where they promised to pay me, they found more excuses and are claiming their solicitors" advise not to talk to me anymore.

these solicitors are probably as imaginary as the "head office" that "brian" constantly referred to. of course while he kept saying that one minute the money was on hand in cash in the office then the next minute the company didn't have money to pay me, he was flying off to new york city for 2 weeks.

BEWARE of these people...one of their own clients even warned me that previous teachers who had worked for her complained of not getting paid.
