I never got paid, they owe me $750. I did the work like I was suppose too. Everything on my end was good. They scammed me and the company I worked for. Also, they led me on thinking that I would get paid. I got scammed, and I am taking action. I already told the company I worked for, I wrote this:

Hi,

I worked for your company through Statement models at the Citrix Synergy Expo at the George R Brown convention center in Houston, TX on May 20, 21, and 22, 2008.....

(I aksed them to contact the agency and they did. I know they paid statement models, because the other girl was paid and not me.)


His emails: This is the latest one I got today.


Jennifer,

There is no one here to respond to your email. I am collecting the mail and clearing the inbox.

It is very unlikely that any checks will be mailed this week. We are not open this week. I don't know if we will open next week or not. You are on the list to be processed but the agency is not open and is currently not generating any income. I have updated your address so that anything that is mailed to you will go to the correct place.

I know you are frustrated but it truly is pointless to write or call. Checks will go in the mail the first day it is possible to put them there. We do not have an estimated date. Responding is pointless...it could be days before anyone reads it.

Jennifer,

We have filed for a reorganization and that process is not done. It is not bankruptcy; we're just realigning our debt into a schedule. Once done, we can start paying it. With any luck, it will be done by 10/31. We are as anxious to get it done as you are. Most likely, you will receive your payment in 2 or 3 installments and not in one check. You are at the top of the list (# 2 if I remember correctly) to be paid. If all goes as planned, we'll be sending checks the first week of November. That is 11 days from now. We'll be just as happy as you are when it's done.

We are told that we will be able to pay contractors again starting sometime around November 1st. Our reorganization plan is almost done.

Hi Jen,

We are behind but things are returning to normal. We hope to be completely current by the end of next week. We will email the day your check is mailed. Thanks.



Jennifer,

Our client has notified us that you have made contact with them regarding payment. This is a violation of terms. You do not have a contractual relationship with our client. Your conduct is considered injurious to our business and we can recover damages for such actions.

I urge you to consider seeking legal counsel before you do something of this nature again.

Jennifer,

I have confirmed that you are in the quarter-end check batch that we will process on Sunday. You'll receive it mid-week and that will end our association.

Jennifer,

The best answer I can give you is that it will be soon. We have a very complicated court filing that is to be completed by October 3 and things will be much clearer after that.

We will continue to work with Jennifer

AUTHOR: Statement Models - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, December 09, 2008

Although the information posted against us in this post is libelous and certainly injurious to our business, we nonetheless will continue to work with Jennifer to resolve her issue.

We urge all contractors to keep an open line of communication and work with us. We staff about 30 events each week across the country and work with literally hundreds of contractors. Most are happy and like the money. Sometimes, like this one obviously, it doesn't work that way. We do wish all bookings went 100% smoothly.

Very False Statement

POSTED: Sunday, November 16, 2008

Ha Ha! Believe me, I did not alter any emails, I copied and pasted. Their "statement" is correct, I am not happy with this Company, because they did not stick to the contract. I was told I would be paid in 30-60 days. I called, I emailed with false responses or no responses, as you can see above, many times, I was told I was getting the check. I have to now file a claim, and you will see as soon as that is in place all the above infomation is true and is on public record for everyone's viewing. You can google many cases like mine online. There are a plethera of promotional companies out there that do not have any claims against them....hmmm I wonder why this one has so many? Do not be fooled.

This Report is Full of False Information

AUTHOR: Statement Models - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Our relationship with contractors is governed by terms of which both they and we are party. We do not divulge contractual details nor do we discuss violations of terms.

Our response is in reference to the fabrication and/or alteration of supposed email correspondence from our company. Such action is libelous and is actionable. We have already explained to the author of this post that we have no problem with her posting factual information of her own origin on this or any other website. Posting email or letterhead correspondence, however (real, fabricated or altered), is illegal.

We work with between 30-50 people each week across America. While most are happy with the experience, there are times when that is not the case. This is obviously one of them. We hope to resolve this matter to everyone's satisfaction.
