Default GII Job Scam?

This was posted on Bizjet. I don't personally know anything thing about it but a word to the wise if you see a GII job with these people. Sounds like a JetDirect kind of situation.


Company: IN REGARD TO PLAYERS CLUB POSTING Position: GULFSTREAM II PILOTS / FAs - Position Type: Pilot - Fixed Wing Location: Camarillo CA Salary: N/A Description: From
former Chief Pilot of Players Club, Mark Malone.
*Do NOT consider working for Lenny Dykstra - The Players Club,
Camarillo, CA - Gulfstream II - N448PC. He has hired 8 pilots promising
to pay them and reimburse them and has not paid any of the. He asks you
to buy airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars AND FUEL HIS
GULFSTREAM on YOUR Credit Card. You will NOT get paid!!!!!! You will be
fired when you demand to be paid. Eight pilots have Lenny Dykstra in a
lawsuit. His Players Club employees have all quit. Google Lenny Dykstra
and read for yourself. His home is in foreclosure and he owes back
taxes totalling about $500k. Lenny talks like he will make you his
partner. In reality he his Bernie Madoff, Jr. His offer of a job is a
scam. Three management companies have been hired and fired. He owes and
he does not pay. His airplane is grounded in Cleveland with a half a
million lawsuit served against him just yesterday. Your desire to take
any job needs to have a line in the sand and Lenny Dykstra is not who
you should even consider working for....

I interviewed there last week. He tried to pull that crap with me. He called me at midnight and asked me to fly the next morning. I told him I wasn't interested he then called me the next morning and asked where I was and when I could be at the airport. Lenny Dykstra is not mentally stable. I have worked for all above board companies and have a clean record I am not going bend on my professionalism now. This makes jet direct seem like a good deal.
This guy is a predator who thinks he can buy and sell Gulfstreams, rip off other professional athletes and make a profit.

He was also involved in an operation in Hickory, NC a while back. Looks like they never got off the ground with him either. Sad sad scumbag.

I cant speak for the G2 side of things, but a friend of mine worked for him in web and writing and has said nothing but awful things about him too. He calls you in the middle of the night about nonsense, doesnt hold up his end of the bargain, is abrasive, etc. Terms like deadbeat and psychotic were tossed around too. Judging from hearing this, I would say anyone who respects themselves as a person should run the other way from him

Yes he called me in the middle of the night and asked me to fly him the next day to New York and asked me what my salery requirements would be. I told him I was not interested in the job.
