QuoteDear sirs X & Y
My representative asked me to contact you personally first, as to what it comes to my salary. I have been forced to take legal advice after still not getting what belongs to me, so currently there is a lawyer from my union cooperating with a lawyer from the European Union that represents my own party, and my member of the parliament, currently starting a research in Spain. This is because I still after over 6 months haven't recieved my transfer from my bank account, and therefore lack up to 500 euros. My lawyers are currently investigating the bank and my working conditions under which I worked for you, so I'll let you know, that should someone contact you any day within the following month, you'll be aware of the situation.
And looking forwards my representative asked me to appeal to you, that you would check again, if it is possible that there has been a simple mistake. There's still no contact with the bank, they refuse to answer, and that is why he found it better I ask you since it was you who were dealing with the bank earlier, last time just before christmas, but after that I didn't hear from you. We were hoping to save time and resources by making a plea for you to check once again and then letting us know about it. Otherwise we'll have to search the account details, if it's still available, and the transfer details, because there is also a possibility that the bank has transfered the money to a false account, which would make them responsible. This we would find out, but it'd take time and money as I said, and as you were the ones that opened the account, you would have easy access to it. I would really appreciate this, as an employée and as an individual.

There's been some dealing with them in the past, which all ended up in empty promises, and huge costs for me. Say 11 hour working days, almost half the wage, no proof of working except for the contract etc etc, now I'm trying to get my money back. You reckon this would be taken seriously. I know neither of them are native english speakers, nor am I, neither of them are very clever either. I just put a complaint of them in the working ministery of Finland so that they wouldn't get new employées from here, but I think it was in vain, the bitches. All I want is my money.
What did they do exactly? What kind of business is it?
Ok, again... oh I was there to work as a tourist entertainer in ibiza for them in a German hotel. These guys provide hotels with entertainers, and they're from Finland and Dominican republic. Anyway, they made us work overtime, promised to pay our trips. After a while it was time for our salary to be paid, they said they'd only give us half, and to spanish accounts they opened to us. I agreed to this because I was just leaving and I got all the account details with me and they said I could at any time move them to my account here in Finland. Now I've got the contract which states the amount of days I was there, and my wage/hour and everything. And first of all I was quite satisfied with the 500 e they were going to give me, at least I got something. But later it appears, no matter who I try to contact, I can't access my money. The bank refuses to reply, my employers tell me they'll look into it next week, and nothing happens. One of them once called me from the bank said he was doing the transfer, dont' know what happened. I don't even know if I still have the account because the Spanish bank won't reply my phonecalls, my e-mails or my letter, were they in English or Spanish. Oh, and the Finnish embassy there is of no help. And considering my employer's reputation among the workers, I wouldn't be surprised if they took it all, so I was thinking of scaring them a bit, just to see how they react. THat's the deal, in a nutshell
What ever, I sent it. Let's see how they'll react, if they do :D
And they did! Haha, my employer was all scared and defending himself :D He promised me he'd send me the receit after contacting the bank. We'll see what happens. They really believed all that! XD ...
... Did I really just triple post :o ??? :-[ :-[
Just thought I'd help with your triple post problem : D
What did you do, threaten legal action?
Yes. Send them the post above, threatening I put a lawyer after them. I don't take shit from no-one!
Once, I saw Tuomas rip a car in half with his bare hands.
Well, *I* heard it was a tank.
I hope you get your money you've earned. Actually this is not the first time I've heard of such scams, especially when working abroad. It's probably .. "they're out of country, so what can they do"
Yeah, I met some old workers who had the same thing. And my current employer also said the same, it happens to people a lot, abroad that is. Take my warning, at least if you're like me, who won't settle for anything but demand what's promised. My collegue, a Hungarian girl, she staid there 'till the end I think, swallowed all the shit, and got half the wage etc, I took it a bit further. (and here I still am looking for my money). Anyway, I'd rather give my money than my pride! Here though by scam I mean what I wrote, but you know, fight fire with fire... (no, not the Metallica one, the Kansas one)
Whatever you do, don't go to collect the money. Chances are, it's a Nigerian Scam.
Alliance, those aren't scams. They need my money to unlock the account, thats all.
I only have to give used notes so that the government who staged the coup can't trace our brain modulations through the etherweb.
