Ms. Chauncee Marks,
Effectual Consultants Inc.
Let me start off by saying;
Your employees have worked hard and diligently for you to reach the goals that you have been longing for. You seem to be professional in your ways but you have failed to understand the true meaning of a management team. All members of a Management Team should know every aspect of a business. They should be able to answer any and all questions employees as well as clients may have. You claimed you could NOT pay the employees due to a $20,000 refund you received from a customer. Why did your management team NOT know this when they are the ones doing your accounting? Also, what did that customer buy if the Effectual Consultants Inc. website was NOT up at all? Why would you hire well-trained professional personnel and go through the hiring and firing process if you had no intention of paying them as well as keeping your so called business? Do you get pleasure out of starting companies and leaving people behind without no pay and large amounts of time wasted?
Your company bills need to be paid on time to keep the company running and to keep in touch with the clients. The phones were turned off making it hard for employees to stay in contact with the clients. You had no answer or comment to the event of the phones being turned off all on Friday 7/25 /08. If you want us to ask simple questions then why can’t we get the respect of getting respectable, honest answers in return? Also when certain things are promised to employees and clients on a respected date then live up to them. Pay checks in the corporate world are given out the day they are promised and not a few days later. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! A few employees said they stayed late on Friday night to receive their paychecks on the day promised and never did. Repeated excuses were given in return. NOT ONE PERSON AGREED TO RECEIVE THEIR PAYCHECK ON MONDAY!! Who would agree to receive their paycheck late? Would you? The employees have families and bills to pay respect them! Treat them how you would like to be treated. I was notified that you offered to pay personal bills on Friday for employees but never went through with it, instead you gave $20.00 to a few people and told them to get their hair or nails done or to put gas in their cars. Would a real corporate business/office print checks late or even give them out late to their loyal employees who have worked long hard hours? It shows the owners/CEO’s respect level for their employees. Clients that came into the office for financial help due to the fact that they couldn’t afford food for their families should be taken seriously and given some attention by the company offering the financial services. There was an incident that the employees remembered the most. A woman came in and claimed she had no food or money to eat that night and that her family was going to starve. Chauncee you asked each of your employees to give a small sum of money ($ 5) to the women. Your employees are working for you to receive a paycheck not to give out their personal monetary. If the business was offering the financial service then it’s your responsibility to make sure you can carry out the company’s responsibilities.
You claimed Paypal was giving you a hard time. If you felt as though Paypal was giving you such a hard time then why would you attempt to use them again, repeatedly? They obviously are giving you a so-called bad name or is it the increase in money they have given you due to their incompetents that you did not mind? The money you were receiving from these naive customers went straight into your account for hotel stays and expensive clothing to be a so called “business women.” Your past employees and customers aren’t brainless, they know exactly what you have been doing since February 2008. Also, when you hire a treasurer to access the companies Paypal account why did you try to get a few employees, you hired at Effectual Consultants Inc., to have them attach their personal accounts to the companies Paypal account? The company should have its own personal accounts to do transactions or at least the treasurer should be using the owner’s personal accounts and information. Why do your paypal accounts from past businesses show that they are in the negative numbers? You opened new e-commerce businesses when you realized the Paypal accounts were going negative and also when the customers started filing reports on not getting products in return. So how many complaints do you usually work up to in order to change company names and locations? New IRS numbers were given to you numerous times to start you off with good-standing finances. Money was always an issue for you. It’s amazing how much information you can find out about just one person. The question is: Can a person be mentally sane and still commit crimes such as these?
The one incident that really irked the employees was the fact that your parents had no idea you had a company of your own and the fact that they thought you were in Charlotte, NC temporarily. Obviously you weren’t planning on staying in Charlotte, NC for a while. Your mother said she did NOT know that you were even home but the babysitter stated that your mother watched your oldest son at home everyday since you’ve been in Charlotte, when you stated your Son was in Florida the whole time. Your employees from Effectual Consultants Inc. have caught you. Obviously with the Regus phones being turned off on Friday afternoon 7/25/08 (coincidently the same day the employees should have gotten paid) you hadn’t paid the building the 6,500.00 you now owe them besides what you owe your employees and clients. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police was called to your parents’ house by the employees to help the employees’ access the situation. Neighbors due to the screaming fest did not call the police. The employees left because they wanted to leave and felt like you were being a coward afraid to come outside to have an actual business conversation with your loyal management team as well as other employees. Issues concerning paychecks were discussed inside the office on Friday 7/25/08 but no action was taken by you Ms. Chauncee. The employees felt the only way to confront, whom they thought was a trustworthy friend and boss would be to go to your parent’s establishment in which you lived with your sons. Nothing was accomplished except for more lies and unheard scenarios told by you.
The family working environment was real between the employees but obviously did not include you. The employees all trusted each other with our own lives and became such a great group of people together. We are all saddened by the fact that you could treat us including other people such as you have.
Your employees showed up at your home for answers and to get the amount of respect they deserve from you. The warm-hearted person they thought you were would have apologized for the inconvenience she had caused everyone and for the debt and stress she has put everyone in. If they meant as much as you said in your letter post on RipOff Reports then checks as well as apologetic letters would have been given out to every employee the day of promised paychecks Monday 7/28/08. The fact that you changed your number once again to try to run from your employees and scammed customers and not showing up at the office on Monday 7/28/2008 shows everyone exactly what kind of person you are. Every statement on fraud reports, wholesale forum, ripoff reports, craiglist, etc. also proves that everything said about your past companies appears to be nothing but true accusations.
A few thoughts the employees would like to bring to your attention….
1. What have people done to you as a person to make you take such a big advantage of them?
2. Why do you feel the need to lie to your parents as well as your employees and customers about who you really are, not one person deserves it?
3. Why would you hire employees knowing you can’t pay them but yet you see them struggle as single mothers with numerous children?
4. You have succeeded to break all of your promises and lie repeatedly to people you have built relationships with.
5. What were you trying to succeed while visiting Crisis, Salvation Army, Boy n ‘Girls Club, Etc. with your employees from Effectual Consultants Inc.? Identity theft?
6. What have you done with the money from auditions, modeling, ticket sales (omni)?
7. If we hosted the E-festival would you have run off before we held the event on August 16th?
8. Why didn’t the employees cell phones ever get paired up to the phone lines to the point where their cell phones would have rung if a customer called their extension?
9. Why was the 90 day grace period so long when you knew how loyal your employees were to you and achieved so much in so little time?
10. What does the statement “Respect others the way you would like to be respected” mean to you? Have you heard that statement before?
11. The emotional meeting you held in your office for everyone to attend, what was that really about? Were you upset because you haven’t been able to scam anyone to get money?
12. The employees mentioned how you played off the disappearance of the three individuals who worked for you for a few days, not knowing what they were up too when in fact you knew the whole time that they found out about your past history. How they left and took their files with them without a single word.
13. Why wouldn’t you allow the babysitter to come into the office? Was it because you were afraid that she might have shared with the other employees about the fact that she wasn’t getting paid?
14. Also why would you lie about your family being in a different state, when some of your employees knew your parents were living in Charlotte, NC.
15. If you owned a multi-million dollar company then why don’t you own a car and transport yourself? Also they said you never mentioned living with your parents at all because they weren’t in North Carolina according to you.
16. Why did you change your cell phone number before you were suppose to contact your employees to pay them on that Monday?
Just a few last words…
Treat people the way you want to be treated if not better. Not one person in this world should be treated as how you have treated past employees, customers, and your family. Live up to your mistakes, lying only takes you so far. Teach your children what life should REALLY be all about not what it shouldn’t be all about. You should be teaching them to strive for better things in life without stealing, ripping people off, lying, etc. You are one smart women so make something of it and start using it for your advantage as well as everyone else’s.
I hope you read this and took at least some of it into consideration. There are many people in this world hurt by you Chauncee, lets take the opportunity now to change that.
