James Mitchell under the guise of a Security Company, offers a job to individuals, namely, unemployeed Vets like myself and the previous victim, with promises of paying for certification, etc. He has them start that day. He stated I was on the last week of the payroll period and therefore, should expect a check "next week". Next week comes and he has excuses such as the routing number was wrong, the printer isn't working, I'll bring you a check "tomorrow", but tomorrow never comes.
He contracts security for local businesses. He had me work at two local businesses every day without a day off. Those businesses shared a little information at first about the last security guard having the same issues. Given this concern, I was waiting to see if I would get paid. It was three weeks and still no paycheck (now two pay periods in). He had provided me a stub for the previous payday but it never was deposited to my account. I left after finding out that he had picked up his paycheck from the companies I was working at and never received pay for myself. I realized I would not be paid for working three weeks straight - 9 P.M. To midnight and 2 A.M. To 6 A.M. Without much rest - even during Thanksgiving. My time off was not to show up between 9 and midnight.
The last guy lasted two months and was never paid. These were all alarm bells, but I truly wanted to believe the guy and needed the job. The man I am submitting into this report has been scamming and using people (namely veterans) to work for free while he lines his own pockets with their hard earned pay. James M. Mitchell is a man not to be trusted; with the constant lies and false promises of days off and without recieving pay, its a wonder he hasnt been found out sooner. This man owes me more than money, he owes me time.
