Scam Description
I was hired as an i9 employee for construction by Jaafer and he discussed a weekly pay scale. I worked for two days and the proper tools where not provided to protect the flooring of the house. I did my best to clean and protect the house from damages but the floor was horribly scratched when I arrived and the sink was damaged. I asked what happened and J said it was the Mexicans before him. He stated this was a police officers house that I was working on. He took a picture of my ID and social security card and never provided me any documentation so I quit. I never received any pay for the 26 hours I worked in 2 days.
