Bill Hankins Steve Alarid Hired me to SCAM homeowners, SCAM a law firm, and had little to no intention or capability of even paying me Los Angeles, California

Mr. Steve Alarid, Mr. Bill Hankins and Mr. Steve Godman started a business together to do marketing and processing for loan modifications. 

I was told I would have leads to market to every day.. but the leads never came.  Out of the 8 weeks I was there, I got maybe 7 days worth of leads.  In the mean time I was told "they're coming at ___ time".  Lies.

Mr. Hankins was in the office from time to time dealing with Mr. Alarid who was acting as Manager and processor for the loan Modifications.

Mr. Alarid did not perform at all for my first client.  So this client cancelled his check after a few weeks of BS and run around.  Since I am paid only comission, if a client cancels their check, I am to get nothing.

I did get Mr. Hankins & Mr. Godman to pay me on that file after much arguing, after Mr. Hankins threatened me, and after I lured them in with the 2 deals that I had waiting for them at home.

I gave them the 2 new deals which were worth about $6,000 to them, in exchange for the $175 they owed me for the case Mr. Alarid screwed up.  This was admitidly a nice gesture on their part.  But seemingly the motivating factor was gaining the other new clients.

I was told I would be paid within 2/3 days.  Mr. Hankins shook my hand and told me Thursday I would be paid.  I have not received payment, and have not been told when to expect payment either.  Just been told over and over that he is checking status.  Which to me means either he didnt submit the forms, or he has no way to even process the clients money because the business is so shotty.

Either way, after 8 weeks of being jerked around, my bills are due and I have not one more minute of patience for these jokers.

The crown jewel is that I am now CERTAIN that they are a scam, because I was contacted Thursday by one of the Attorneys whose service I was supposedly marketing.  His name was on all documents I sent to clients, and on my email signature, and on our website.

He told me this was fraudulent, we had no right to do so, he never signed a deal with Mr. Hankins, and that he never even saw the website.

Now I am worried for my clients.  I suppose I am never going to see the $658 they owe me.  But at this point, it's blood money and I am better off without it.  Even if I am unable to pay my bills because of it.
