My recent job in which the sales agent almost cheated me my salary. Here's what I have to share and hopefully it will caution you guys and girls here looking for a temporary job.

Recently I almost got cheated for my April salary from this guy by the name of ONG KHUN YEU (Steve) by the contact number of 016 221 8635. I worked in April with him as a sales promoter for DiGi and all forms of contact with him is just via telephone and text messages.

Earlier before I started working, he informed me that the salary will be paid at the end of every month or latest during the first week of the following month (which according to the labour law is true).

Unfortunately, when I stopped working with him after 2 weeks (for finding him using me in a way since I have my own transportation and over working me ie. working way past my designated working hours), and asked him when would be receiving my pay which I expect at the end of the month of April, he told me I will only be receiving my pay at the end of May (in which I find it ridiculous since I worked in April and I am pretty sure that DiGi has already paid him the money to scout for promoters).

The problem of the pay arouse during this time and further continued on till the end of May and then till the first week of June in which he was reluctant to pay me my salary. At the May (in which he told me I would receive my pay) he first told me he would bank in my pay, he gave me the first excuse which was he would pay my by the following Thursday or Friday (which was either 3rd or 4th of June) but he didn't. When I called up on the Saturday (5th of June) morning, he made another excuse by saying he has reached his ebanking limit for the day and he said he would bank in later on that day itself but as expected he did nothing. Then came Sunday (6th June), when I called him in the morning, he purportedly rejected my call knowing that I am calling him for the pay again. When I finally got through on the line with him, he game another excuse by saying he wasn't free yesterday (which was Saturday, 6th June). Prior to that call, he did try to hang up on me before I could ask him when exactly he is going to bank in the money to my bank account by saying he would call me back.

But thankfully on that very day on the Sunday (7th June) I received my pay.

Little is known about him and I am not too sure if he is a forum member here. I am pretty sure he found me here because I did put up a reply on the Job Enlistment subforum here. The only information I have about him is his full name stated above, his contact number and where he is from which is Wangsa Maju area.

My siggy has been editted as suggested by some mods to help put up a precautionary mesage
