I designed the magazine for Print & Digital Edition for Global Commodities Report.  Aaron Weafer (CEO!) said that I can invoice after completion, which was sent to him 10 days after the job was finished.

He refuses to pay stating that he is broke and selling the company to his sales rep Dana Friesen. They both are playing games and giving different excuses. I recently found out that they have done this before and not paid designers who have worked with them before me. It seems to be a normal business practice with Aaron /GCR of hiring graphic designers and not paying them after the job is done.

I am trying to approach this matter collectively and if the invoice does not get cleared then I will take this matter to collections.

Please beware of this company and Aaron Weafer. Make sure you take payment in advance If you work for him or are thinking of dealing with this company on any level. I normally take 50% advance from all of my clients but Aaron was a colleague at one of my previous employment and my trust took a wrong turn in this case.
