Funky
Careers / Cruisebees / Transitions Overseas
By Elizebeth Croeser: "I am looking for cruise
ship work at the moment and came across a company called
Transitions Overseas (www.cruisebees.com) or there partner
company Funkycareers.com. I decided to take a chance and
order a book containing contact details for not only cruise
ship companies and their recruitement agents, but also
other addresses for voluntary work etc. This in it self
was a dumb idea ......"

Sunshine
Horizons
By Anthony Dominicus: "I am a subscriber to
your newsletter and recently took a job in Tenerife with
Sunshine Horizons, a company advertising through you.
On arriving in Tenerife i realised that the job i was
doing was nothing short of a complete scam, i.e. distributing
rigged scratchcards, the aim being to con tourists out
of up to £10k. I have no idea how you regard such
things but i felt that i had been conned personally and
i am now back in England feeling very sorry for other
people in my position. Just thought you might like to
know..."

ACR
Solutions
By Carli Perry: "I
have just got back from a fantastic year in Australia.
I just wanted to let you know that in August 2003 I was
working for ACR solutions in Sydney. I noticed that you
had their details on your site. I worked for them on a
self-employed basis and still have not been paid for my
services. They owe me approx $500 and have now moved premises
and no longer have the same phone number. I spent countless
hours trying to trace them and have had no luck. I am
telling you this so that you can maybe warn others of
this problem and I was also wondering if you have heard
anything about their whereabouts. I know I will probably
never get the money that is owed to me, but I'd still
like to find out where they are. Thanks in advance for
any help."
