Elena currently owes me roughly $700 in unpaid wages. I worked for her in September last year. I worked HARD telling customers the same things you were told. "Just wait it out, you'll get your order, it's on backorder, something didn't go through, just keep waiting..." Sound familiar? Stacy didn't leave, she was BOOTED by Elena and I was hired as her replacement. Stacy suffered a tragic death in her family and attended a funeral and because of her absence, Elena hired me and gave Stacy the boot and never even told Stacy and NEVER told me or the other gal I worked with. She told me that Stacy would be back but she never came back, I was never told until just recently that I was actually Stacy's replacement. Elena IS the owner. She tells her employees to keep the customers calm and tell them to wait, wait, wait!! That is NOT any way to do business! I know because this is what I was told BY Elena herself. You are most definitely not the only ripped off and pissed off customer I wish more would come out of the wood works and tell everyone they were ripped off by Elena Santana!! Don't give up keep fighting! It's NOT about the money. It's about employees not getting paid and customers NOT getting their items and fighting for their refunds! Does this woman truly think that people will keep paying her hundreds of dollars for nothing and never say anything?? Or people will keep working for her for hours and hours and she won't have to pay them and they won't say anything either?

You may have to go to a lawyer and take this to court. I worked for this woman for 8 months and when I decided to quit because I wasn't receiving any pay she tried to drag my name through the mud. I too reported her to ripoff report among other places. After 51/2 weeks of fighting I finally received the 560.00 she owed me. She claims to have fired all of us who quit when the majority of us quit on her. She cannot manage her finances and her company has been in trouble since I worked for her from day one. She is a very dis honest person which is another reason I decided to quit. Even though I didn't have to deal with the customers I didn't like what I was hearing. She still owes many people money including 2 other ex employees. Keep fighting is all I can say. She needs to be shown that we will not be taken advantage of!! Good luck and keep us posted!!!
