I think I am going through a similar stage. My work for the december period, which I was to be paid in the January 15-17 period was withheld.
I know a couple of friends who started working for the company with me but got their payments. Around January 25th, they called me and said that to transfer my salary they needed my passport details, which i gave them.
After weeks of haggling, they eventually told me that my money has been paid. They even gave me dates and invoice numbers. I checked with my bank, no transaction has taken place. According to them the transaction took place on January 18th. What irks me is that if the transaction had taken place on January 18th, why would they contact me on January 25th?
Will i get my money or should i stop working with them? I have another payment they have to pay as well. For the February period.
Being a needy writer, i really feel depressed and stuck. This was a source of earning for me and now I am really stuck. Can anyone recommend a good site i can work for?
