This ripofF report concern a Fraudulent activity conduct by well educated individual, that have ideate this fraudulent activity. They have create this Agency of employment and have contacted many Company in the Fashion Industry, so that, even these Big Company have become their primary target. The people that actually are defrauded are those freelance, that are out of work. These individual of the Agency, find the potential workers in Linkedin, or in other web site, in which they found all the resume'.

Then, they contact them and offer a job placement in a very reputable Company, so that, nobody suspect to be  victim of SCAM. The job promised is real, and the Companies are at the top of the Fashion Industry. At first I was place at J.Mandel Fur department, as a sample maker, and I work there for seven days for the total of 73,30 hours. After, they send me at Carolin Herrera Store, in Madison Avenue, and there I worked for other four weeks, but no cheks come. Therefore, I start inquire about those cheks, and they at first tell me that they have a skeduled time for the paycheck. But when the time came no check still arrive. After seven days finally they tell me that they got one check for me, and I tell them to send it by mail. So, after one month and ten days I received one week of work payment, but they fail to pay my tax, and do not pay the overtime that they had to pay by law and they do not give me the ammount that we had concordate, but two dollar less hourly.

 In the meaning time, I was told by other employee at Carolina Herrera that this Agency had defrauded another sample maker and she quit because she never receive her salary.

This was to much to bare and I quit the job at Carolina Herrera, and notify the Agency of my decision.

Now after many phone calls and email that I have send to the Agency, I do not have received the rest of the weeks that I worked, and that they have collect for those Companies which I have worked.

What I have received are, insulting and theatening emails, from one of their associate ( Christian James ). He is very insolent individual, and use a MAFIOSO language. Other responsible are: Rachael Faulds, Brooks Corrigan and Vince Lombardi. Some of them are registered on Linkedin.

The purpose of my report is to stop this scam, and to encourage others to report these delinquents, so that they are put aut of this fraudolent activity. Activity, that is perpetrated against those who are out of work, people that have less disposable income, so that they cannot figt back against those who have stole their salary.

These individuals are repugnant in our society, and need to be punished for their fraudulent activity.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Irate and Illegal

AUTHOR: Design + Industry - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, September 26, 2015

Maria Lisi was a sewer that we helped obtain temporary work at Caroline Herrera and J.Mendel. She asked us to obtain those positions for her and hired us as her agent to secure those positons. We did as she asked. We pay our vendors twice a month and provided her a payment schedule. She received that Day 1 when she hired us. 

As her agent, we are responsible for collecting the money from the companies that she works for. Unfortunately, those companies don't always pay on time. The fashion industry is sometimes turbulent and companies struggle paying their invoices. 

In addition, we learned that Maria Lisi provided an incorrect social security number and had no tax id number. Which was very alarming.

During the time she was waiting to get paid, she had a fake attorney call and pretend to demand payment ,only later to have him call us and agree with us. She had two friends of hers pretend to be from Fox news which her friends understood the payment schedule and thought she was being a little "crazy" as they put it.

However, we were able to contact both companies and get her payment. They paid within 60 days which was their right and completely normal. Most vendors get paid on a 30-60-90 day schedule.

Although she has been paid up to date and is owed NO money, she continues to make outrageous and false claims. We are trying to be patient with Ms.Lisi but the statements posted here may just cause Ms.Lisi to face a lawsuit from us.

We are trying to take the high road but our patience is wearing thin. We realize she doesn't have the money to fight a law suit , so we are trying to be patient and considerate, given she has limited education, limited communication skills and not a strong grasp of the english language. 

We will also have counsel have this posting removed due to the fact that it is false and slanderous.  Once again, Ms.Lisi has received any money that was owed and it could be verified by canceled check and matched with any invoicing. 

We wish Ms.Lisi the best moving forward.
