Chris Aufang, owner/Director of Operations, hired me to take trouble calls on computer equipment. I worked for him for two weeks and my first payday was to be on October 29th, 2009. When I called to pick up my check, he claimed he had not had time to do the checks. He told me that I could pick it up on Saturday after 3pm.
Then he said we'd meet. Then he said he'd bring it to me. I didn't hear from him again until Sunday when he told me he had taken his wife to the hospital. On Monday, he emailed me that he had my check and would call me at 9 am. He never called. I called him four times and every time he said he'd call me back in 10-15 minutes but never called. Monday evening he would not answer his phone. I got him on Tuesday morning and now he claimed his mother died and he was in Jacksonville, FL. He said he had my check but if I gave him my bank account number he would transfer the money into it. I didn't trust him by this point. He said he'd overnight it. A customer whose printer I was working on called to say the part would be there by 10:30am. I had to tell the customer that I hadn't been paid and had no gas in my car. Chris then called me and said that I was fired. I still have not been paid. Mike in Miami, FL
