Complaint Review: Alex Bakus Brian Rich TNT Express - Internet

TNT Express is a very large package courier with established routes throughout Europe and Asia.  The company was just purchased by Federal Express for 4.8 billion dollars.  Seems that TNT was highly sought after due to their prestige, brand, and commitment to excellence delivering timely, high quality service in the package courier field.  FedEx had been experiencing numerous challenges in those regions of the world.  The acquisition gave FedEx an opportunity to compete with UPS, DHL and others.

I received a solicitation for part-time work as a Supply Chain Assistant.  After completing an application, was sent a contract to sign with a 30-day probationary period.  The individuals represented themselves as employees of TNT Express.  I would not be paid until the end of the 30-day probationary period.  I was never sent forms for taxes, information pertaining to health insurance (that was part of the proposed package), or anything other than the contract to sign.  I inquired about taxes and Alex (my boss-what a joke and what a putz) stated that he would walk me through the forms at the end of the month.  He also stated they would bonus me what I paid in taxes each month.  That really did not make much sense to me but why argue with the boss. 

My compensation was a base salary of 2000 per month, 25 dollars per package, and additional bonuses based on timely completion of various tasks.  If all bonuses were met, then would be paid 3800 gross pay per month for a 20 hour a week job. Coupled with my other part-time work it seemed that my life was going to be less strenuous.  I was being provided health insurance. or so I thought, pay down some debt, and get some breathing room.  Maybe even take a nice vacation for the first time in my life.

Was not to be!!!  Never received a dime for the work and, it seems, helped these bums, perpetuate credit card fraud, traffic in stolen goods, and a bunch of other illegal and unscrupulous behavior. 

However, after reading RipOff report and wide net these criminals cast, a decision has been made. I have friends in very powerful positions that deal with international and intrastate crime.  They cast a very wide net and make things happen.  I will be making calls in the morning.

They made a few mistakes that I can see now (and have documentation for) but do not want to reveal lest I compromise law enforcement investigation. 

I can’t say that any of us will get our earned money rightfully put into our pockets.  I can say with a great deal of certainty that justice will prevail. 

I encourage anyone with any information to post and maintain a vigilance against this criminal element.  They will be caught.

This is a sophisticated crew so I would not be surprised at anything they attempt to clean their name on the Internet with ORM (online reputation management).  Additionally, they may pose as victims of the scam and post such ludicrous posts as the one on this site.  The one I am referring to stated supply chain assistants would be held liable for the value of the goods-that is a boldface lie (I am not holding the webmaster culpable for this post-it is not his job to vet).  I am just telling you what I know.  They might intimate possible arrest or pose as someone who was arrested and the hell they caught for trying to be responsible citizens.  Again, do not be fooled, there harassment and attempts to impede any investigation is to be expected.

Remember to keep all documentation between yourselves and Alex and Brian.  Keep all the pictures, emails, and text messages, with correspondence between you and them.

I assume my contacts will be available later this morning.  If not, they will be get back in touch with me.  One time they were in Europe working on a case and took the time to get back with me that same day.  Of course, I am going to tell them my story and direct them to this site. 

If I am directed to post anything about this case (who to contact, telephone numbers, what to have) then that will be passed on.  My gut feeling is that after I share this information with them then I will never hear about it again until they catch the culprits. 

Don’t kid yourself, this is not a bunch of rookie con artists but some pros who worked out a good scam.  However, I feel very confident that the right people will get things done the right way.  Besides, I am smarter than a bunch of crooks, and am sure you feel the same.
