Lori Z / The Adult Broker / TAB ? Where is my money? It's been five months! - GoFuckYourself.com

epitome · 03-22-2010, 01:54 PM

It has now been over 5 months that you have owed me $205 for work I have done for your websites.

The back story since we?re supposed to back these stories up (of course, I have the actual emails for admins if they want them):

Invoice sent for $410 back in early October for work I completed. Half of invoice paid almost immediately with the promise the rest would be sent along.

I tried periodically collecting and eventually read the post about the breakdown on GFY and decided to halt even trying to collect for a little while she got her affairs in order.

12/23/10 I sent an email with an offer of a deal to settle up the debt after I saw posts that suggested things were returning to normal.

12/23/10 She sent an email back saying we would talk after new year.

12/23/10 I responded that I understood and to have a great holiday.

2/1/10 I saw a post from her on GFY with something along the lines of TAB business is better than ever. I emailed saying I was glad to see that post and that I look forward to my getting payment.

2/1/10 She emails back asking for copy of invoice again to get it sorted. I replied with copy of original invoice in less than an hour.

2/3/10 I sent email about some domains I wanted to sell (I have since sold them on my own) and other things ? we sent a couple of emails back and forth and then they stopped coming from that end.

3/11/10 I sent an email demanding payment within 24 hours or I?d post on boards. No response.

3/15/10 I emailed her assistant and was told that she was out of town and may not have access to email or phone in response I received the following day.

3/20/10 I saw Lori posting on GFY saying that she would donate to ASM?s memorial fund because she appreciated all the help she received from the community during her breakdown.

3/20/10 Saw that post, knew she was obviously back in town or at least finally had email or phone access. I went ahead and sent another demand. Attached the invoice again and duplicated the payment instructions in the email body in case they were missed.

I have not heard back. I am still owed $205. I can put that money to very good use; not having health insurance along side with flaring Crohn?s Disease creates financial hardships. By April 1st I have to make the tough choice of buying my meds or keeping my power on.

I think I have been more patient than the majority would be, but enough is enough. Pay me.

Next up is small claims court since you have made no effort to repay or work out an arrangement. It costs me $35 to file and the court house is three miles from my house.

To the board: I hate having to air dirty laundry here but nothing else has worked and posting to boards seems to magically get old debts paid.

If you are hurting for $205.00 and you are in the Adult Biz, something is wrong.
Just write if off, no need to bring it to the boards.

Dang ... all over $200 is what I never understand.

Yup. Pretty much said the same thing for four months.

The disrespect shown through the lack of communication has me more upset than anything.

I'm not going to go into details, but when I had my own personal problems last year, the response was I received was downright rude and I immediately found a workaround so that she would not be inconvenienced. It would have been nice to receive the same courtesy.

I don't agree to the no boards thing. I've noticed more and more companies not paying and the minute it hits the boards, everything is cleared up.

$205 is $205. That's my kid's after school program money for two weeks. I wouldn't just forget about it.

ShellyCrash · 03-22-2010, 02:09 PM

Epitome, I'm so sorry to hear about your health situation. My best friend has Crohns. Have your tried probiotics at all? Do they help?

I don't know how much you want to get into on the boards, but I'm very familliar with GI probs. If you ever want to feel free to hit me up on ICQ if you want to talk about it. I might have some good advice that can help, but also if you just want someone to listen, anytime.

I disagree. When you do work for someone, you should be paid. It should be brought to the forums so people can share their experiences. He gave her months to pay him. Usually when one person is not paid, it turns out several people have not been. Frankly it should not matter if it was $205 or $2,000. He did the work, he should be paid what he is owed.

200 or 20k its the principle of it. For one I am glad someone brought it up. Now if you had a deal with said person, would you trust them with 2k or even 20k of your money if they are not paying back this guy his 205?

So he's a thief and that's why he hasn't been paid?

Deej · 03-22-2010, 02:42 PM

Why is it the amount of money that people look at to distinguish just how fucked up a situation is?

Does it really matter how much money? "oh its only 200 dollars, Forget about it fool!"

Completely retarded retort...

Im not saying anything against TAB herself, but rather the overall standpoint of some people regarding how much was 'lost'.

Bringing it to the boards is all some people can do once they are ignored. Amounts should not matter, yet, the actions of the parties involved.

For instance, Odie ripped me off for 450 dollars on a project I helped her out with a couple years ago. I got the run around and dismissed since it was a low amount. Is it right? Fuck no!! Will people continue to work with her down the road... Most likely. Why? because it was a small amount and people have known her for a long time around here. That means ripping me off was just another day for her and another free project completed.

I agree kristin, Money is money and people that scam should be called out. Your reputation is all you have in this business. If someone does it for $200 why not 2k?

Very well put
not only have i personally worked for lori but lori has employed my wife for many many many years.

I know exactly what is going on with this jessie and you know damn well this is just an attempt to scare lori into giving you what you feel you are owed.

If you feel $205 is nothing, then you can pay him and he'll shut up.

Not everyone can afford multiple sports cars and nice houses. To most Americans, $200 is a car payment.

Whether its $20 or 20k, if you've followed gfy for awhile then you know that bringing any unpaid amount to the board has proven to be effective in dramatically speeding up payment.

I am grateful for any help and I also humbly ask the industry if there are deals out there that closed and were not invoiced for to please let me know. I have lost months of deals and income from losing my assistant and book keeper during this and no accounting had been done in months I am finding out.
