Easy Poll: Have you ever been scammed?

Im very upset right now

DW got a new job but is being scammed by the old job because they are cheap and don't want to pay severance. She did them a favor by staying and now, she is being repayed with nothing (as of now)

have you ever gotten scammed?

Not quite on the scale of that, but some bum stole my metrocard from right under my nose! Seriously - I was buying a monthly from the machine and he was telling me it wasn't working and somehow switched my new card for one that was expired - my friend was standing right there with me and we both have no idea how he did it!!

On the bright side, maybe he got a month of free housing out of the deal...

not usually--I'm not very trusting,

However, a few months ago I bougt a matress & didn't want the $60 matress bad they recomended, but then they said they throw it in for free & we didn't realize untill after the bed came & we used the matress pad, that they charged us for it.


And I once when to an inforamtion session for a marketing job, that turned aboout to be some scam about sellign knifes door to door. I knew that inteh first 10 minutes, but I accepted the job, just be/c he phrased it in in a way I couldn't say no easily, & then I called up the next day & said no.

yes - I applied for a job once and wired this company money for a plane ticket to fly to an interview (it was for a flight attendant position). I never considered myself naive, but after I wired them the money (they gave me the option to pay for the ticket myself and get reimbursed later, or just have them do it for me, so I opted for the latter)....I never received a ticket or heard from them again.

This all happened on September 11, ironically.

Thomas... I'm sorry You and Your Dear Wife are going through this. When Bri and I met with Laura from La Productions on tuesday, all she did was praise you two. If I was you, I would go to her old job and say something.

Wait, was your DW laid-off? Or did she find a new job and quit? I thought severance pay was reserved for lay-offs and down-sizing?

---

she was laid off...but extended to help out another department. under the agreed terms (aparently, not anymore) she will be a temp for 6-9 mths...when its time by A. completeing her assignments or B. they tell her to leave or C. she found a job and ready to leave....

...her sevrance would start at that point.

They are being lil bishes trying to save a buck..meaning while, they are laying off everybody else. A manager brought up a good point if they accept 100+ people but deny 1 or 2 people..somthing is wrong.
