I noticed another report regarding several of the companies "owned" by J.D. Guess (aka Jerry Guess, aka J. Demario Guess). Like the other report I saw by "S", I was hired by Mr. Guess to be part of a new "consulting" company he was forming. After opening a bank account on his behalf and being promised that he had the the funds to deposit into the company's bank account, he failed to do so. This led to all of the initial paychecks for 5 employees (myself and Mr. Guess included) to bounce.
Since then, Mr. Guess has provided a plethora of excuses as to why he was not able to provide funds for the company. After no one got paid, it took a few weeks for everyone to eventually submit their resignations (3 total). Since then, we have calculated the amount owed to us and have started work with an attorney to collect pay due to us. Despite his claims of working to resolve the issues, I have not heard from him in some time. He apparently refused to sign for a Certified Letter I sent him (it came back to me) and has not yet funded the Wachovia account that the paychecks were drawn on.
I have worked with the others on some extensive research and discovered that Mr. Guess has created several companies in North Carolina. He has used a variety of name combinations as well as a variety of addresses (hard to tell which are real and which are not).
Please feel free to contact me if you are having similar trouble collecting from Mr. Guess.
