Bond Investigations DORIAN BOND , gave me bad paycheck 3 days before xmas, still wont pay money owed Queen Creek Arizona
I was offered a position with Bond Investigations by its owner, Dorian Bond at the end of November 2006. I worked for him for 5 weeks as a field investigator. I used one of his vehicles during that time and was supplied with a gas card. Numerous occasions, however, the gas card was declined and I had to use my own money to fill the car. The total was $64 of my own money at the end of this 5 week period.
In the middle of December, Dorian Bond deposited my first pay check into my checking account. About a week later which happened to be 3 days before Christmas, it had been withdrawn because of insufficient funds in his account. I am married and we have a 5 year old, we are a two income household and we had just finished Christmas shopping so this freaked us out. Our account was now negative and we worried how we would pay our mortgage that month.
After attempting to contact Dorian Bond several times that night, even driving to his home, we got no answer. We received a call the following day from him and was told that there was a mix-up with his accounts and he corrected it. He deposited another check into my account to cover bank fees and my original check amount. We felt at ease and enjoyed our christmas. That didn't last long, though because a few days after that it was pulled out as well. So he has now committed a felony writing a check that he know he doesn't have the money to cover.
He then admitted that he had no money but promised that he would pay me. Weeks went by with no response from him. I went to his bank with my nsf pay check every day for three weeks trying to see if there were enough funds to cover it. Finally, there was enough to cover the two checks. But as the teller was cashing ther first one, he withdrew money so there was no longer enough to cash the second check.
I called him that morning like I had before many times with no answer. I then I received a text message from him, apparently he is too coward to talk to me on the phone, he claimed that he was getting my money that morning but I beat him to it (not true because the teller told me that he withdrew $300 which left not enough to cover the second check). I asked when he would pay me the remainder. He claimed he was broke and didn't know but assured me he would.
Now two months have gone by. He still will not answer my calls and hasn't paid me. He owes me $1800 for the time I worked for him. Making him money, which I know I did. Occasionally, he had me check his mail for checks when I worked for him so I know he was getting paid for the jobs I did. Not only was I layed off but I didn't get paid for the 5 weeks I worked for him. He forced us to borrow money from family to make our mortgage payment and then I had to apply for unemployment until I found a job.
He is an awful person to do this to someone. I left a cozy salary position to work for him. I made him money. I worked hard and I really think that he had no intention on paying me the entire time I worked for him. Since this ordeal, I have looked into his background and have found that he owes the IRS over 15 thousand dollars for which they have put a lien on a prior property of his. He also has a baby that he doesn't pay child support for. DES child support enforcement for Arizona have also put a lien on a property of his because of non payment.
While I was employed by him, he was doing work for Liberty Mutual Insurance. I am hoping that if they see this they will stop employing this unethical person. I would also like to see anyone who reads this to contact him and tell him what you think. I have listed his address, phone number, fax and web site. Thank you.
