Having someone deliberately wasting my time and energy, raising expectations then being found to be completely full of fraudulent shit
Plenty of those types around.
Our MD fell for one such **** end of last year, even though we collectively told him the bloke was a clear fraud. Ended up paying him a load of money for work he couldn’t deliver, then have to fulfill a contract with a new client (of his) at a quarter of the price we would normally charge. Turns out they were shafted by him as well, and have since written off all the consultative fees they gave him in receipt for nothing.
What winds me up is the bloke’s website – it is so clearly full of shit. And of top of that he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. Yet he spins it full of consultative bollocks.
I believe the upshot is that the MD’s suing him.
