I was contacted by Turns Inc asking if I woud be interested in completing projects. My first project was at Sams Club for a floor display set up and was told I would be paid $50 upon completion. I was then asked to complete a 2-day project at Home Depot for a Bath reset. This included building full displays and moving inventory. I worked overnight from 9pm to 7am for a total of 20 hours. I was told to bring a helper, who also worked alongside me and was never paid. I am currently owed over $650, not including the mileage.
While these projects were being completed, I was consistently contacted by Denise Robinson and Racquelle Murphy. I also received a call from Vernard Simmons himself explaining how important the project at Home Depot was for the company.
However after I completed the projects and sent in my invoice, I no longer received calls. I called Racquelle Murphy at her extention after she stopped answering my calls to her cell number, and was told by her that now they will be contacting me by email now on since they were very busy all of a sudden. This change was immediatly after the work was completed and verified. I was told Denise was unavailable and my emails and calls were eventually completely ignored. It has now been 6 months that I have been attempting to make contact. I contacted the Attorney General of Georgia and was advised to send a certified letter demanding payment. That letter was received and signed for by Denise Robinson, however I never received any response. That was 2 months ago. I am now in the process of filing a claim but am open to joining a class action lawsuit as I feel what this company is doing is illegal. They are receiving money from these contracts for work carried out by merchandisers that they never pay.
TURNS contacted me for employment getting my information off the NARMS site. I contacted with them to do a job back in Jan 2014. This job was sucessfully completed early Feb. However it is now the end of May and I have not been paid for my work, .
I have contacted Racquelle Murphy, who hired me, and she just keeps saying she doesn't understand why I never got paid. I also spoke with the CEO Vernard Simmons, and he told be he would look into it but never did . Sent many e-mails and left voice mails- most were ignored. A few times Racquelle got back to me to say she is looking into it with their payroll dept.
This company is a total joke! Do not work for them OR hire them to do any work for you. Check out their web site at www.turnsinc.com. They brag about their low overhead and how no one can underbid them...of course that is true because they don't pay the people they contract with to do their work!! Anyone can have 'low overhead' and be low bidder if they don't pay their employees!
I filed a report with the Atlanta BBB, NARMS, and Georgia Labor Board. I am not done yet, either. I will contact the attorney generals office and the media to alert people to this SCAM. How dare they pretend to be a legitimate business when they are total frauds! I contracted with them in good faith and they took advantage. I see I am not the only one this happened to. When I reported them to NARMS ( Now known as World Alliance- an association of workers in Retail) I was told TURNS is no longer a member of this Retail Association because they have received many complaints about them.
