I did, and they hang up everytime I ask for my money. I'm just mad at the stuff they promised me earlier about the deposit, not mad at all at not having a job right now . Kind of my fault too, shouldn't have handed over the cash so fast.

Small claims would cost $100+ just to get my $50 back, that's just stupid.

Let's put it this way, if your girlfriend took all your savings and broke up with you, how would you get her back?

Got a lawyer friend/friend's dad that's a lawyer? Call in a favor and talk to them about it, if they're sympathetic they'll go with you in person to the agency and lawyers usually scare people enough to get $50.

i would suggest shitting in a plastic bag, and putting it in an air vent in their office somewhere that is really hard to get out, or better yet, totally hidden so they can't see it.

thing about shit is that it's really really stinky if left out for a while, and it stinks from a very long distance.

if you can hid it somewhere in the office that nobody knows where it is cause they can't see it, then they have to breath that for a while. HAHAHAHA fuckers.

I'd gladly pay 100$ to get my savings because it's alot more then that

And i'd also go with the go in person. Maybe get an older person to accompany you? And remember, if you have to pay $100+ don't they need to do that either? And it would save them more time / money to give you your $50?

Edit: Didn't understand to GF part completely

I would try to just move on, nothing hurts more then someone who says he doesn't care. So i'd just take it to court. Get my money and never speak to her again.

and the shit in the bag?
lol nice idea, but the are on the second floor right next to a daycare... (which means i need some good aim with the brick)

The best thing to do before performing a crime is plan it on an internet forum where your IP and email are logged.

Just stop, you're obviously not going to throw a fucking brick through their window.

It's a forum for Starcraft Obsessives. He should've known walking in that he was asking the wrong people.

So basically you weren't scammed at all and you just didn't read the details of the agreement?

If your priority is on revenge rather than getting the job which is what you originally asked them for help with then you don't deserve the 50 dollars back. Eat it and learn from this mistake... this crap happens to all of us.

Basically you walked yourself into this bad situation and now you're trying to blame someone else for something thats your fault. You are also trying to go badass mode by saying your'e gonna be all hardcore sneaking in at night and vandalising them, when in fact you're actually a pussy and probably won't do anything.

Face it dude, you lost 50 bucks, now go get a job and make the money back

Take it as a learning experience. Recruiters that ask for money are useless. Recruiters generally get payed from the employers not employees.

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUU

You had no job.

You couldn't find a job on your own, so you enlisted their help.

They got you a job.

They got you a fucking job.

You had no job, then you had a job, and the job was hard work.


......

"I'm going to throw a brick through their window" No you're not, and you're basically being lame as piss.

And now you say #1 priority isn't to get a new job, it's to get them back... Your super powers are about as useful as aquaman.

Spoiled white kid.


Each day gets better : )

They pretty much screwed you over but there are a lot of job opportunities where you don't have to pay money to get a job. Just look around in the newspaper or what not and be proactive instead of worrying about some assholes that tricked you into giving them money.
