Hello,
I work for a company called Aigner Computer World. I have worked there for about six months now. I contact you all because I have been doing some research on my company and my line of work, and I found this thread on your site: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=77919&start=0 .
My story differs slightly from the thread there, so I thought I would share to see what you all think and what my next course of action should be.
First of all, I work through two people, Patti Richard, and Barry Peterson. They have never sent me a check, but have paid me through Western Union. They have always paid what I was told I would be paid, and I have always been reimbursed for the supplies I order. I work as one of/the company's administrative assistants, and I handle various things such as sending checks, emailing, delivering mail, etc. I recently also got a raise a couple months back.
Other differences in my story are that they have contacted me in more ways than just through instant messenger. I often get emails of the day's orders, "how do you do's," and I also have gotten text messages as well as spoke on the phone with them and have received a voice mail on my phone from them(from one of the days I was late to report in; I have deleted that message, though, since then).
They have a page on BBB, Facebook,and other pages, but I have also read it's easy for scam companies to get information on those places. I have always thought my work was...unorthodox, to say the least, but I never thought it was possibly a scam, especially since I have been sustaining myself on this job for so long.
Where my questions lie with the legitimacy of this company is from that thread, other accounts online, their secrecy of what we do, and some of the orders they make for me(such as demanding I drop off our mail at multiple different locations, even, though, there is no limit).
I have a lot of information, working with the, and I have every account of my conversations or communication with them in black and white through the instant messenger(one of the things that was noted as wrong), emails, and text messages.
This job has been fairly good to me, but you can understand why the information I have read has now started to worry me. Please tell me your thoughts and what I should do. I have a family and important people in my life whom I don't want to hurt through my naivete.
Thanks for reading.
