Complaint Review: Dwight A Pearson - Decatur Georgia

I originally came across this man on craigslist.org, and later found him on a popular gay website called Adam4Adam (www.adam4adam.com- screename: sexyatl2010). I was recently incarcerated last year for 3 months in the state of Virginia. When I was released I moved to Atlanta GA for a fresh start and New Beginning. It was my first offense and I have learned from my mistakes. I let Mr. Pearson know of my situation from the jump because I felt that if I was honest and upfront, it would go a long way for me, and the better chances of someone being able to help me as far as employment. He basically told me through adam4adam.com about his company, never really informative of the company, but basically that he had begun his own business and looking for dedicated workers. He had me come to his house where he was at the time having all his business affairs(4912 Walden Lake Square, Decatur GA 30035-4173) until he was able to get office space for his company which was located at 160 Clairemont Avenue Suite 200 Decatur GA 30030- (678-954-5800) Office Suites PLUS www.officesuitesplus.com. The first paycheck was a personal check of someone else's name that he claims was a friend of his and they shared accounts. I deposit that check on the day after my birthday(June 30, 2010) in the amount of $601.75 into my Chase Bank Account, prior to that, 2 days later I found out that the check bounced which to this day has left my bank account in the negative and I am being called everyday from my bank asking when I can take care of this. I brought it to his attention very furious and upset and he promised me that he was going to take care of it, and his excuse to this happening was that it was a Bank Issue that he wasn't aware of. With this happening and my account being in the negative and no other source of income, I was forced to have to stay at home with no money, no food, bills to pay, probation fees that I am obligated to pay monthly, but because of Mr. Dwight A. Pearson I was not able to do ANYTHING! Almost a entire month went by when I finally returned back to the office because I was told from Mr. Pearson along with the other employees that we would be paid more then minimum wage because of this happening and the length we went without being paid what was rightfully ours. His form of contact majority of the time was through text messaging or adam4adam. I was told he would pay me $9.75 of 80 hours along with him taking care of my bank issue. He gave me a check in the amount of $526.68 with the company information "National Tech Support Inc-520 Maine Ave- Panama City FL 32401 by Payrolls of Paychex, Inc. This amount was only a portion of what he owes me. He told me that the funds were not in the account which was on a friday when he told me this and also gave me this check. But he also informed that  the funds would be in the account that following monday, and he said it would be ok for me to go to a Check Cashing Place to cash my check and I would have no problems. I went to Ace Cash Express Location at 8763 Dunwoody Place Atlanta GA 30350 (770) 998-5115. The service clerk there called Mr. Pearson to verify the check and funds and I was given my money. A week later prior to cashing that check, I was contacted from a Representative for Ace Cash Express by a Darren at (888) 753-3100 ext. 7582. He left me a voicemail instructing me to please either myself or my attorney to call back with case #(which was given in voicemail). I called right away and explained to them the situation and what Mr. Dwight A. Pearson has done to me. Unfortunately they have told me I have to pay this money back by the 18 of August 2010. I expressed to them that I have no other source of income and that I would try and get family support and help and that I would be able to set up payment plans if they could work with me of $50/month. That was what I was able to offer to pay them based on the support of my mother and stepfather. Ace Cash Express said that was unacceptable and that they could not accept that, and that I have to pay the full amount of $526.68 back by August 18, 2010. I was told that anything over $200 is considered a felon charge which will be directed towards me since I am the one that cashed the check. This man has put be through alot of headache, heartache and stressful times since knowing him and working for him. He recently told me on adam4adam.com because this is the only form of contact I have with him, but he recently told me that "I would have this taken care of by Monday", which will be August 16,2010. I really especially after reading all these other complaints about this man do not believe anything that he says and I do not know what to do. If there is anyone who is reading this and has any information, or resources, or advice of what to do please contact me at (((REDACTED))). DWIGHT A. PEARSON NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE SERVED SO HE DOES NOT CONTINUE TO SCREW UP ANYONE ELSE'S LIVES!!!!!!!
