I was contacted by this man to come to work for this company. He made no mention of what he was going to pay me, and I had my reservations. I started asking him about where the airplane was because he didn't have any planes. He kept shwoing me a DOT contract, but couldn't provide any information about the planes, yet told me he was going to start flying in October. I was very direct in asking him about his operations and how he did business and everytime I questioned him he would get angry and defensive.
When I started doing actual work for him, he told me that he was going to pay me on a contract basis. I continually questioned him about my salary and he never gave me a direct answer.
He wanted me to set up reservations for people which was puzzling because there was no plane to take any passengers places.
After doing several days work of work for him, I came into his office and asked for compensation for my services.  At that point he started yelling and screaming at me and wrote me a check for 100.00.
Shortly there after and many questions from me later he ended up firing me because he knew I was on to him, and threw me out of his office.
After that I started doing some research on him and found out from his supposed "other" company IBC Airways that he was a total con artist. Appartently he has been running this airline scam for the past 5 years where he tells people he can charter planes to Haiti, collects their money and then pockets the rest and puts them on cheap commercial flights.  He has scammed people out of thousands and thousands of dollars in the past few years and continually changes office locations and telephone numbers to run from the law.
DO NOT do business with this man.  He is a scammer! Anyone trying to make reservations on this phony airline DO NOT! Anyone even thinking of being employed by this man should check with The State of Florida first! They are investigating this business and a few other claims from former employees.

AUTHOR: Air America - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 12, 2011

I knew this man from Ft Lauderdale Int Airport as YAT had a counter next to mine, when YAT went out of business , he asked me if I could give him a job, I invited to come to the office and discuss it, the only words out of his mouth were  , " How much are you going to pay me", he was told that it would be contract with W9.

Then he proceeded to inform me, that his boyfriend was coming in from new york to live with him and needed a car, and would I purchase it for him, I obviously refused.

He continued to tell me he had money problems and anything he could do until our start-up date would be helpful, I explained that until we actually started our flights there was not much he could do , just be patient, I did ask him to find out about  Baggage Tugs for sale , which was equipment we needed.

A few days after he came into the office and said he had been making phone calls for the tug and his 'other half '  had said, that he was working for me and should be compensated , because of his whining , I loaned him a $100 dollars. 
He was supposed to be Station Manager, but after we discovered that he was just gossip monger and could not be trusted, we decided to not use his services, there was no yelling and screaming , he just stood up and left,  I have no idea why IBC was quoted as I have nothing whatsoever to do with them.

He was never given access to our booking system , which is password protected, so how he can say he was given instructions to sell tickets , I have no idea !, I hope that he is willing to produce evidence ( which is non existent) and repeat his words in court as I am taking action against this man for trying to extort monies from me and my company which has always been an example of honesty and forthright business transactions.
