Hi everyone, I wanted to update everyone as to how it all worked out… Armed with the suggestions / info you guys gave me—I drafted a humdinger of an email to the guy—stating without emotion (no rants or threats) very plainly… If you do not pay me the $560 for the 28 hours I worked here’s what i am going to do on monday—report you to the irs for fraud (not having a board of directors for a 501c3 charity IS fraud and claiming your HOME as the office and deducting that from your taxes is also fraud)... will contact the labor commissioner in las vegas for avoidance of paying wages… will contact state attorney’s office both in california and nevada, file a claim with the BBB, and file a claim in small claims court requesting both interest and filing costs. Ron, I assure you all these things are going to cost you more than $560 to straighten out both in time and money (i.e., attorney and or cpa fees)... not to mention you have to ask yourself—do you REALLY want all these federal and state entities looking into you, your finances, and your charity THAT closely? After looking at your 990 forms online I would highly suggest to you the answer is no… If I do not have a check in my hand for the full amount my saturday I will be making a lot of phone calls and filling out a lot of forms on monday…
OK, after doing all that—a little later in the day i get 2 phone calls from him… I was in a place where I don’t get reception so I didn’t see the calls until I got home later that evening. Basically he was umming and ahhing about how he didn’t do anything wrong, but he would send me the money, etc… Don’t do anything… Very humble…
When I get home I call him back—he is NASTY as always screaming at me about how he is going to pay my extorted false wages—and he is glad to be done with such a schemer as myself, etc… Listened to him rant like that for about 10 minutes… How he did nothing wrong. How he checked with both his attorney and cpa and they said he was fine. (yea right) I tried a couple of times to say ok thanks and hang up but then he screamed that he’s paying me and he’s talking so I am going to listen… Finally after 10 minutes he came up for air so I said, thanks for the check Ron, have a great life, bye, and hung up. The man is nuts… He is a bitter nasty con artist in Las Vegas… I totally don’t believe he checked with anyone. Either that or they are as corrupt as he is… Either way he’s going to sink.
So… he did send the check—it arrived today (monday) not saturday. He didn’t send it express—probably cause he didn’t want to go to the post office. He probably just put it in his mailbox in front of his house. The lazy piece of sh*t. Took the check to the Wells Fargo. Cashed it np. It was for the full amount he owed me so I am pleased with that.
Am TOTALLY going to drop a dime on him to the IRS this week… Haven’t yet mostly cause I have been super busy. But by thursday and friday I shouldn’t be busy anymore so I will look into who I need to contact there. I don’t have a problem going in person, online, or phone call. Any suggestions on what’s best?
Again a hearty, heart felt thank you to everyone for their 2 cents…
