HotDeals Canada ripoff-non-existent employer-takes advantage of horrible economic situation Mississauga, Ontario
If you have the email of the people of this posting http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff69387.htm. I hope you forward this to them because they last posted in Oct. and may no longer read the site
I felt so sick, when I read this but having been (basically-I work as a freelance tour guide which is like being an UNfamous actor) unemployed for a long time and wanting badly to move to Canada eventually, I was not as prudent as I should be.
What really angers me, is that when I got the letter of acceptance and the extra instructions I was at my parents home because my father just died. I was very stressed that I didn't have the info they would need because it was back where I lived and you'd think they would have some compassion and say they overhired and to check back with them later but then as my boyfriend, hey, their crooks, what do you expect.
No one mentioned though what happened to me so I wonder if this happened to them also. In Oct. right before training was supposed to start they sent a mass email saying that because of hacker attacks they needed extra money to upgrade their system and would have to start training in Jan. and offered to refund the $75. Stupidly, because I wanted the job I didn't take them up on the offer-did anyone do so and get their money back, also Kristin what particular form is it that you fill out and what did the FBI say?
I wrote to the AP and LA Times to run a story (I selfishly thought of writing to Hot Deals first to see if MAYBE I could get my money back first before I exposed them-they might want to keep the scam going to get more people so they'll appease people) but I didn't want more people to be taken in if they are still running this ad.

Had contacted Miss. police twice. Unfortunately, didn't get the name of the first policeman who I talked to who was somewhat sympathetic and nice but did get the name of the second policeman (who made me feel that I was incredibly stupid for following for this scam) and gave him whois internet info my boyfriend looked up. All the same info as in Shannon's report on Enekes http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff78209.htm with the additional info that the web design company that designed their website was Dream Fusion at 157 Adelaide St. W. Ste. 164, Toronto, Ont. m5h4e7. The email address for the policeman working on the case is [email protected], name of course, is Bruce Lemcke, please report your story to him and if there are any updates as far as class action suits or arrests please post as I don't think ripoff reports allows us to contact each other.
