State - New Jersey
Hello
I have a big problem with my employer, well now ex employer. Let me explain.
In these tough economic times I lost my job (company went down), and because of that I was in a search of another one. I found a listing online saying 'looking for a plumber mechanic, new construction, renovation, etc."
I called up the guy - contractor, developer - and arranged the meeting - everything seemed normal. We arranged how much I am going to make an hour and the next day I went to work where I welded and glued new plumbing installations.
For the first few days the guy showed up every day, called me frequently. I went from one job to another - at the end of the week I had about 60 hours of work. All the work was done, I gave him my time sheets with all the things I completed and I went home.
He told me that he is going to call me on Monday and give me addresses for other jobs and of course, the money.
Comes Monday, guy did not call me but I called him and got no response. Tuesday, nothing. Now I call him everyday and he just does not respond to my calls.
He took my personal information (address, social security, driver license and other stuff). He does not want to pay.
I tried to call his number and his 'company' number. Nothing!
What can I do in a situation like this? I can't track him down.
Please help!
