No you don't have to pay this anon. They didn't provide you with a service. They can't bill you for their time.

>> No.4352111

If it is they must be really really stupid.

Dear Rebekah,
Hi, I would like to take this time to acknowledge the invoice I received requesting payment for our interview o the 20th of October, 2017. I know how costs add up and I completely agree people need to be paid and in a prompt manner for their time they have invested in their careers. As an Experienced Engineer of Distributed Systems, I run into all sorts of dead beats in my field of work. I can usually bill around $748.95/hr for services rendered, and another $1500 for house calls (you know how overhead is it can be a pain and really add up!!!); so please return this enclosed invoice with payment in full for my services rendered ($1087.90($1497.90-$410 for your fees), plus an additional $1500.00 for traveling expenses, $8.72 for the combo #3 I consumed at Wendy's on the day of the interview, $78.99 typing fee for this invoice, and please include $0.49 for postage and an additional $12.98 for handling fees, which brings the amount due to $2689.08). I would like to thank you for your time and I do apologize that we will not be doing business together in the future. As always, have a great day and thank you for your time!!

Not to mention the fact that the owner revealed that she's making $100 an hour, and the fact that she wants to extort an unemployed kid out of $410 as "a matter of principle". Imagine the SJW rage you can generate with this. Oh my god they are so fucked if this is real.

No you should absolutely not pay this. They cannot bill you for their own time. You are free to tell a judge "their definition of head engineer is fraudulent and I am perfectly qualified". And here's the thing - they can't prove real damages other than them being butthurt with your interview (fuck them) so they would have no standing in court.

And idk who they threatened to elevate this too, but it's hilarious and you should ignore it especially if the cops. You should go so far as to send them a notice in email claiming that they sexually harassed you or something lulzy.

No of course you don't have to pay for shit. That's why there's the position of a recruiter, they have the responsability to find good candidates, and are accountable for it. Not the fucking interviewee jesus christ.

It must be an absolute shithole of a company to depend on scamming people out of their money.

I'm pretty sure you can even sue them for even asking and get nice cash.

Thank you all sirs I am very much relaxed now I know I do not have to pay such fees.

I really thought WTF when I received the letter because I thought it was acceptance letter with good news.

I am on holiday visa so do not wish to make trouble with courts. I will simply dispose of this letter.

Thank u

Here's some advice.

Firstly Melbourne fag you can't sue for damages under 'a matter of principle' ACTUAL FACTUAL DAMAGES NEED TO BE PROVEN, Their hourly rate of pay is irrelevant because you did not contract them.

Also have a 3rd party contact them saying anyone hired seeking to pursue an individual for vexatious debts will force the individual to seek recourse for the above company breaching the Victorian Privacy Act.
This you actually can sue for.
