I was contracted by ARS Services to install Patient Point terminals at doctors’ offices in my area for more than a dozen work orders (Including 3 major installs), I performed all jobs as scheduled and to full satisfaction of the customers yet I still have not been paid in full for work performed. I was asked to sub contract electricians to assist in the major installs. These contractors were paid in full out my own pocket. ARS currently owes me in excess of $10,000. It has been over 111 days and when I call it goes to voice mail. They refuse to answer voice messages or emails. When I finally did receive a response to an email (after offering to come and collect in person), they claimed they have a cash flow shortage in the company and I should be patient. After numerous inquiries, this was the message I received:
“I will be mailing checks as money comes available. Each time, however, that you call or send a harassing email to me or one of my employees, I have the tendency to push your payment down the priority list and send the money, instead, to other people who are working with us through this very tight cash flow situation. Squeeky-wheels do not work with me. You want to be paid then be patient – it will happen as fast as I am able.”

At the end of the day these people scam artists. They pay you for a few jobs and when the bill gets big enough the payments cease. My bad for not seeing the Red Flag when their first check bounced.
