I met Matthew Scott Senge in April 2015. He offered me a job making $35,000 a year at his radio station on our first date. He also offered to get me a free cell phone, have my speeding ticket cleared by cop friends of his and he also told me he thought I was the one for the long haul.
I knew this was crazy and I told him so. He was persistent. He wanted to pay my car off, pay my bills and I watched as he called each creditor and made payments. Every payment was returned unpaid. It took a few weeks and he had alot of excuses- about his financial advisors and lawyer not releasing his contract money for his new job with XM radio- not until JUly 17 when the job started.
I decided to work a fireworks tent from June 25- July 4 I needed Matthews help and by this time, we were engaged and looking at houses and making offers on the. He said he had a job with XM radio earning $90,000 a year starting two weeks after the fireworks tent. He refused to let me pay him saying he only wanted to be with me and to help me. He was very generous and kind. The nicest guy who seemed to adore me. We both worked very hard for those ten days. getting up at 7 am, driving an hour,pulling product out and in and selling in the heat all day from 9 am to 10 pm, putting everything away and locking up, driving an hour home... we were both exhausted. I put Matthew in charge of all the money the entire week.
At the end of the ten days, and when the company went to reconcile, my account was almost $3,000 in the Negative. There was a shortage of either prodouct or cash. My sales deposit was $24,000 and should have been $27,000. I was expecting a $3400 commission check - and got nothing. We did put things on sale and it could have quickly added up but not to $3000.
The ironic thing is, a week after the job was finished, Matthew told me he had been lying to me. There was no money NO XM radio job. He had known for weeks and didnt tell me and just lied and lied to keep me from leaving him he said. Over the next few days, he was distant and on July 21, he posted to facebook that he was flying to California.
The week prior , we had NO money. My bills all coming back unpaid and some with fees. Now he is flying. He said he got a credit card in the mail. He said he got book money- his new book- in advance of the tour. He didnt offer to pay any bills now. He didnt try to make anything right with my sons friend who he promised money to for helping us.
He left and never came back. He went to an OLD-or current- who kows, girlfriend in Mississippi and she helped him get his license and a car, hes been travelling all over the place promoting his NEW out of the box program.
He came to see me last week, looking all nice in new clothes, a dash cam and all kinds of gadgets. he didnt stay. He found a reason to get mad and left. Hasnt talked to me since.
He ripped off my heart. He is still treating women the same as he did in his past. He didnt get much from me and I have no idea what he saw in me in the first place, why he came on so strong, promised me all my dreams, then left me cold.
He did say he wanted to hand me some cash and "make it right". But when he came up, he said He cant give me money because it will look like he is confessing to stealing the fireworks money.
I told him that paying Zac the money he promised him and giving me even $200 towards one of my bills would show an effort.
Today he sent me a "Lets be friends" email, but he is not coming back to Wilmington, He is traveling until God plants him. A seemingly sincere apology for never showing me true love and for disrepecting me and my children and friends.
anyone that wants to get involved with him, be very careful. If he ever makes an attempt to put actions to his apology and do the right thing, I will definately update my report.
