A Form of Ripped Off
Getting Ripped Off comes in many forms, being unpaid is of course the major kind of ripped off, but a different type of ripped off is not getting paid on time.
I have one client who is very nice and accomodating. I have been working for him more than a year already and I have nothing but praises for him as an employer. The hard thing is dealing with his bookeeper who is in charge of my timecheck and payment. It is bad already that all my payments are paid to my sister Paypal’s account in the US ( Paypal Philippines is only good for sending money and not receiving ), and the US check I deposit in my dollar account here using my sister’s US check takes 30-35 days to clear. This means I am able to get hold of my earnings 30-35 after my client will have deposited it to my sister’s Paypal account.
I have informed the bookeeper many times of the discrepancies in the Quickbooks Unpaid Bill Report regarding my working time. It is a good thing my employer has an online log in software so I am able to check my online time in and time out. I have submitted my working timecheck based on the online time log report so the bookeeper can make a comparison with our QB and see the discrepancies, but still no word from her. This is all very frustrating for me! And to think I have called her several times regarding this matter!
It is not like they are behind one month paying me. For heaven’s sake, I haven’t received my payment for March, April and May!
So a note to all virtual employers, please make sure that you pay your offshore workers on time. Hey, we are working hard you know so we expect not only to be paid on time but also be paid according to the hours we put in.

Under his company name It finally after 5 or 6 years later began generating millions of dollors from investors the AMERICAN DREAM was coming true we hired the wrong Guy long story short He lied and behind our backs ended up with our stock and control We lost everything & left with company dept thousands of dollors It basically ruined us. We are trying to go thru the court system WHAT A JOKE!!! Ther is no justice Exposure The guy that ripped us off and I have children too. His name is David Land President of Medisyn Technologies Mpls.mn. You can throw eggs at his house in minnetonka if you want.
Oh my God! that is terrible, weren’t you able to do anything about it?
I wish there is some sort of a support group for people who gets ripped off or scammed, it would show our unity and it will also show these scammers that we can do something about the situation.
I wish you the best and I hope you will be able to get justice.
