Re: Should I call a guy just to tell him that his website sucks?

[othellia]

Thanks. I'm trying to stand up, it's just that my mom's calling/texting me pretty much every hour on the hour now to ask if I've called him yet.

I don't think there's any chance I'd take a job now though, because even before I discovered the super sketchy stuff, I wasn't keen on the offer. His company's locations aren't in the state I'm living right now, so accepting something would mean packing up all my stuff and breaking all my current commitments.

He said he was opening offices in the city/state where my mom lives (despite JUST opening his first office in a totally different state), hence her current impenetrable enthusiasm. She's been trying to get me to move back in with her since the week I first moved out.

why did she want you to move back in right away?

Re: Should I call a guy just to tell him that his website sucks?

[othellia]

I don't think she ever wanted me to leave.

Not to get too much into it, but yeah. She's a double divorcee, my sister moved out of state, I moved out of state, and then my sister got married. She's very emotionally needy, and - as things currently stand - I'm her only little "toy" left so to speak.

This is her third attempt this year to rope me into moving back home.

DA

Maybe the real solution here is to get your mom a dog. XD

Or possibly a parakeet or cockatiel, they're intelligent and funny and love attention and can talk back to you. If your mom is that desperate to have another warm body in the house, maybe you should direct her to an animal shelter when this mess is over.

Is lying to her an option? Say you called him and he sounded like a slimeball, and there's no way you're going to work for somebody you don't even trust.

I hear you about the needy, clingy mothers, though. My partner's is the same =_____=

Re: Should I call a guy just to tell him that his website sucks?

[othellia]

Apparently she invited him to go sailing with her and her group tomorrow. (I mentioned it in my original post, one of the way too many details that bogged it down into a massive WALL 'O TEXT.)

But yeah, if I lie about calling, she'll know. Part of why I'm just feeling like "urgh"...

Yergh. TELL HER NOT TO GIVE HIM ANY MONEY OR MATERIAL GOODS! I thought he was bigging himself up to her so that she'd convince you to work for him for peanuts or something, but maybe it was a more straightforward con.

sa

(Sorry for shouting -- I had a brief fling with a con man a few years ago. I hate to see anyone being taken advantage of.)

Chiming in with all the folks telling you "if it sounds shady, it probably is." This guy is sounding like, if not an outright con artist, then a luftmensch--someone who's always on the point of doing something great (according to him) but it's all hot air, and who only escapes being a con man because he's persuading himself as much as anyone else. I've dealt with someone like this (rented a house to him). When I finally managed to get rid of him, he was five months in arrears, and the only way he managed to shake the bazillion people who were suing him for unpaid debts was to declare bankruptcy. But when I first rented the place to him, he talked like a young titan of industry on the point of revolutionizing the construction business. He pulled the wool over everyone's eyes--the Iowa Economic Development Council had even funded him. (I'm pretty sure that money was paying his rent.) Uff-da.
