Complaint Review: Transitioning Careers - King of Prussia PA

You must be connected to this company for all the personal slurs you include in your comments.  You're just not deep enough, and maybe too dense to understand what I'm trying to accomplish.  It's called information gathering and exposure, plain and simple.  The fact that this outfit decided to flat out not pay me is what the "shadiness" part of my post was about. The other parts of the post relate to location(s)  simply refer to their ambiguity.  I'm not looking to sue them or file a lawsuit - so, apparently, you have a one-track mind, and most certainly are involved with this company, because you keep bringing up "lawsuit" and "sue" Nowhere in my post did I threaten such action(s) because, for the amount they owe me, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't need your wannabe lawyer advice, but it's great that you keep replying because that helps this report rank higher every time we visit :-D  Could this possibly be Stephen? :-O

They are not an IT company; they're a marketing company selling to worn out franchisors.  They claim to have account managers and a marketing department etc. but I suspect there's only a handful of staff there.

So, "Jim" / Stephen, I look forward to your next diatribe. 

I don't really need to know more because you know less than most anyone here; that's why you got ripped off and why you filed a report here.  The fact you were even snooping around Delaware tells me all I need to know:  you're a moron - plain and simple.  I was actually laughing at you when you said you were snooping around Delaware.  Or that you think the IRS would somehow step in?  Laughable.

I mean there's nothing you described that would constitute you being an employee - that's the bottom line.  IT companies always use contractors...always....because the labor laws allow it in most states, except maybe California due to AB5 rules.  However, even if you wanted to pursue the issue - you really have no recourse because you have no one to serve. 

I mean you admitted this:  The agent of process for this corporation is a fictional person.  That's where you would have had paperwork for a lawsuit served, that's where any attorney you might have hired would have served discovery, that's where the state DOL would have begun an investigation into your claims, etc...  The person you described in India...is in India, so he's not going to be served on your case.  The lady you're talking about - she's nowhere to be found either and whatever internet presence he/she pretends to have - is pretend.  She may not even be in the country either - and you really don't know where she is, but I suspect even if you used a PI to perform a search, they won't find thids person.  There are many complaints on this website alone by people who were ripped off on job scams by people who don't really exist....they exist only in someone's imagination.

Moral of the story:  You lack the necessary common sense to pursue a career remotely.  Find a brick and mortar presence and stay there.  Seriously.

 The actual contract agreement states the name of: "a Delaware limited liability company at 16192 Coastal Hwy Lewes DE 19958". That right there should have been a red flag - especially since they're listed in the BBB with 630 Freedom Business Center Drive 3rd Floor King of Prussia, PA 19406 as their address. Wow, you're sharp as a grape! I already pointed that out, and that it was a PO box, to make my point that to serve anything physically in the form of a legal notice, it would be impossible. Any correspondence can simply be ignored and the recipient could plead ignorance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You must be an idiot. LLC's and other corporations file as Delaware corporations simply for tax and privacy purposes - they aren't located there. If they have a PA PO Box address, then they are located in PA and are governed by the laws in PA. No sh*t Sherlock! My point was the name chosen was "a Deleware LLC" illustrating a nebulous presence that's hard to trace, that was my point, NOT why people file for LLCs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Delaware business address of "a Delaware Liability Company" shows Harvard Business Services, which is a small business that helps people incorporate their businesses...confused yet? No. There are many businesses like this that file the paperwork to create a Delaware corporation for all of the purposes I already mentioned. This company, for better or worse, used this Harvard company to file their paperwork. It's all pretty basic to someone with average intelligence. That isn't you apparently. Wow "Jim" (or whoever you really are) Trying to connect the dots from Transitioning Careers, to the PO Box then to where the LLC was filed, and the fact that TC is also connected to a bigger concern (A financial company by the name of "Secutitis", or something close where the ad originated from) can, on the surface be a little confusing for some looking into the legitimacy of the company. You being condescending by explaining why companies LLC, and missing the point entirely. My point was to address any recourse one would need to take in going after a company that screwed them is difficult, because they "insulate well" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certainly no one at the IRS or the state of Delaware actually cares about your situation because of course, the State of Delaware has no jurisdiction over your case and neither does the IRS. Thanks for the help, any way you can reduce my workload is appreciated. I will still be contacting the DE DoL because I have plenty of time on my hands. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not even sure why you're even contacting anyone in the state of Delaware since they have literally nothing to do with this employer. Now, the FDOL won't rule in your favor either - simply signing in and out does not constitute the existence of an employment agreement. Companies use timeclock systems to determine how many hours a contractor works in a period. Again, it's all pretty simple. "Constitute the existence of an employment agreement"? There is no employment agreement is my point - did you read the rest? If you did, you'd see that I wasn't just "simply signing in and out" The agreement I signed off on was not an official Contractor Agreement, it was some amateur language typed up on a Word doc. Based on what you wrote and what you described, you are not likely an employee. Based on the fact that I was not paid the salary (written in the agreement) was not paid to me after performing services is absolutely a no-no in the eyes of the Labor Dept. This happened to me once before, and I was promptly compensated by the company (and they actually had an actual Contractor Agreement with me) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, you could try and sue then for the missing pay, but heck you don't even know where they are, so you can't really serve them. Who said anything about suing? And you just made my point about no one even knows where they are! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The guy in India isn't even within US jurisdiction so you can't sue him. Who said anything about suing HIM? You're giving unsolicited advice for some reason. You could try to sue the lady, but she either may not be in the country, or is assuming the identity of someone else, in which case.... you're at a dead end. Nope, not gonna try to sue the lady, just pointing out that she can't hide during the process of my recourse, which includes written correspondence through email and Skype messaging where she basically screwed herself legally. You don't know the content of the correspondence, so stop trying to put out a fire without water. And she absolutely is who she says she is because I have her cell number, and after doing simple research, I know EXACTLY where she lives (and it's not out of the country) "Dead end"? Maybe, that is, if all of your theories are correct - and they are not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All of your evidence really doesn't amount to much if everyone is outside your jurisdiction. That's right "IF" everyone is outside jurisdiction, but they aren't Moral of the story: Don't accept jobs in which you work remotely. Get an actual job in an actual workplace and IF they allow you to work remotely, then make sure they provide you equipment. That's your leverage if something goes wrong. I have worked remotely for the last 8 years, and have never had a problem getting paid (which is all this report is about) because they were stand-up companies.
