Not surprised at all, Dave. Here is the response I posted to Ana from the other company who had the same experience as you. I have copied and pasted it below. I hope all the companies that Sharon and Joe Cammarata ripped off get together and sue them. They cannot continue to scam companies and people this way. It's been going on for years!! Here's what I wrote Ana:
Dear Ana,
You are right and Sharon and Joe Cammarata will never pay you. I am not surprised to read that Sharon is up to the same antics. You MUST take legal action. I know this because I was hired by them to be the Director of Operations for DateCard USA, or so the company was called at the time. This was about 4 years ago. I was even headhunted from my current position at the time. I signed a contract for employment and began on the date we agreed upon even though there was a delay in setting up the offices (what should've been my first sign). To make a long story short, I was never paid.. not one red cent.
I, too, was given the exact same run around you are receiving. I, too, have documentation in the form of e-mails even stating specific dates and a payment structure where Sharon agreed to fulfill her end of the agreement and pay me what I was owed. The dates and the structure of payment which allowed her to breakdown the amount owed to me was even selected by her!!! Those dates came and went and nothing. Sure, she too continued to pick up my calls and answered my emails but could never tell me specifics. How is it possible she can run a company and have absolutely no information about the status of it? I, too, use the word "company" loosely. There was never a company, there was never an intent to pay, there are no employees and I doubt there's even a database!! It's a scam, a run around and I can't believe 4 years later they are still trying to get get one over on people!
I tried to sue but the effort became too much for me. They holed themselves up in their apartment and wouldn't allow themselves to be served papers. Blocked by the lobby security each time. The effort wasn't worth it to me and I moved on to find a REAL job but the grief they caused me and the financial hole they put me in took forever for me to get out of.
I hope you get your money back and expose them for the frauds they are. Take it from someone who has been in your shoes... just sue them already as they will not pay you back. They will just continue to give you the runaround as they did to me.
good luck!
