JSD Oil and Gas SCAM in Calgary

Their is a recruiting company in Calgary,AB stating they will find you a job in the oil and gas industry, it is a SCAM!!!! They take your money and then don't deliver. Do not go to that company. The president is Michael Delorme. IT IS A SCAM. They dont physically have an office just a PO box. He is a sweet talker and will try very hard to egt your money. He preys on families and doesn't care what happens to them financially.

I agree his company is a scam. I went and signed up with them about 4 years ago. I hounded them and houded them for 2 years to find me something. I even refered 6-8 people to his business. I he didn't find one of them jobs either. they take your $500.00 and don't deliver until you go away.

HEY LONNY, SUBARU!!!!! I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH YOU GUYS, IT IS A TOTAL SCAM. THE ONLY TIME HE EVER PHONED ME WAS TO MAKE SURE I WAS COMING WITH THE MONEY. AFTER THAT THE PHONE CALLS & E-MAILS I RECEIVED WERE A RESPONSE TO MY PHONE CALLS.
THIS WENT ON FOR A YEAR & A HALF. EACH TIME I PHONED I WAS SOOOOOO CLOSE TO GOING OUT BUT SOMETHING ALWAYS CAME UP AS TO WHY I COULD NOT GO. FOR A YEAR & A HALF HE NEVER PHONED ME ONCE, I ALWAYS PHONED HIM. WHAT A JOKE.
I ALSO NOTICED THAT HE HAS AT LEAST 15 COMPLAINTS FROM THE BBB. IF HE HELPED 3000+ PEOPLE GET WORK WHY HAS NO ONE COME FORTH DEFENDING MIKE & HIS "ETHICAL PRACTICES"

SCAM ARTIST +! Nice gimmack account Michael If you spent as much time trying to find us jobs as defending yourself we would maybe be posting on threads about what a great guy you are sorry to say but you fail in life and KARMA is a bitch you took food of my table with the money I gave you NOt just me but my kids to I never wish bad things on people but you sir are truly a leech in this world of trusting people. Thanks for the life lesson Ill make sure every time someone types in jsd oil and gas 10000 scam warning websites pop up with it.

Having used head hunter services in Canada, Australia and Algeria (as well as being close friends to a chap whose wife does the HR for an Aussie company): Anyone asking for money from you to FIND you work is full of BS.

Oil companies will PAY head-hunters a finder's fee to bring them qualified people. No one should ever pay ahead of time... next time offer to pay them out of your 1st cheque!!

Sorry to hear someone is out there and takes advantage of the best oilfield workers in the business. Also sorry someone hasn't dealt with this the Alberta oilfield way and put an end to his business by taking him behind the boiler for 3 rounds of horseplay.

(PS. I'm selling bridges in Red Earth, any takers for $500 each?)

On another note... guys, keep following up with the BBB if you truly suspect this is a scam. We pay all these axes for a reason and the Provincial government will research this for you. He'll have to prove his business (including accounting).

If he's taken in money from 100s of people and can't justify it, the BBB can disclose this to you. Then you can move on a class action against him (proving he scammed vs just being a piss poor businessman will be a lawyer's job). Eventually, the law will catch up to him.

It's a small oil patch and the word is out now.

Lawyer said...

Tainer said...

Wow, I new it all along. What a piece of shit. He got me too. The guy is good. He is well prepared with a great pitch that works u inch by inch until his close which makes u think u have a choice. No one wants to wait a month or two so you pay now get in last minute with this supposid group. He has all his props, his pitch, his personal (pure bs) stories and he is smooth. The saying "if it's to good to be true then it probably is" could'nt apply any better. I worked as a pitchmen and thats exactly what he does. He works you inch by inch, he relates to you with something personal, he makes you feel stupid if you dont go for it. He's a professional. I love how he is trying to defend himself on this site. The thing is Mike. If you were for real then why the fluck dont you ever answer your phone and why the fluck is it always a message from you calling back rather than you yourself? Shady bud, but you're a scammer so it makes sense. If you were for real then where is this supposid revamped resume that you promise over and over again but never produce? Why won't you ever actually meet me on monday like you say you will but never do? We met the one time then again briefly the next day so I could hand over my money then poof, u pulled a houdini and vanished for good. You told me to pack my bags and bring them with me to the lake cuz i'd be getting a call. Well I'm still waiting Mikey!!! You dangled me along for over a year with story after story, excuse after excuse. then there was a mistake, then an error after that a problem. After the problem it was a misunderstanding. then a mix up. One after another after another until i popped. I guess that's part of the plan. I went on for over a year cuz I was in denial even though I knew it was bogus. This guy went from telling me I was going here then there then back to here. Over the course of a year he was going to send me around the world. 411 mike delorme and his jsd number comes up. Who else works for jsd then? where is the office? pres/ceo driving a suzuki sidekick? You must be the only ceo of an oil and gas company that doesn't drive a vehicle worth 100k +. come on man play the part if you expect ur marks to believe you. ya frickin' right bud, that's quite frankily insulting to think we're that stupid! Your story initally sounds good but too many holes bud.....so hey mikey, I can see u read these blogs and I bet u do often. well guess what u little orange haired goofball p.o.s....U will get your moment in the spotlight bud. i don't know what ur deal is or why ur still here if you are but you have some major balls doing what you do to younger bigger guys like this. I dont know what ur angle is, if you go from city to city or whatever, or if you're doing this to make x amount then ur gone, whatever the case is bud you're walking a fine line. I saw you once out and about but that was when I still thought you were for real and you were with family. For your sake hopefully that doesn't happen again because if it does i'm gonna yell at you so loud that everyone will see and it will be very embarrassing for you. haha! Anyways, so ya i got ripped off by a little orange haired weasel but I guess I deserve it. For sure i do cuz for pete's sake man, when she was climaxing for the 3rd time she could'nt stop yelling harder mikey harder!!! so the gentlemen that I am I complied over and over and over again. Heck I probably owe jsd at least another 2-3 grand!!!!!!! amazing guys!!! harhar
kidding aside, i met him at starbucks in the crowfoot village cuz he said he lived right by there which is probably bs but im interested to know what and where he said to others. Also does anyone want to meet up for a beer to talk about this bs? I wanna learn more about this clown as he interests me.

Tainer said...

ok...mike kent? or is it mike delorme? hey kent, i tried to meet with him like a hundred times to no avail. sure it was slow in the patch but that 's canada. What about the rest of the world like he promised? Ya I'm sure he's a nice guy to certain people. Actually he's super nice to you til he gets your money then magically disappears and can't be reached by phone ever. He's really good at recording messages then sending then to you though. That's because he's always super busy in meetings working his but off for you in houston or scotland or mongolia but really his couch!! Are you his basketball buddy or his bum buddy, whatever the case is, it's bogus! Just like your president and ceo there...

EasyRider said...

EasyRider said...

Anonymous said...

For EasyRider:

How are you getting him? Is there an open case with the police?

There was an article in the August 16, 2009 Edmonton/Calgary Herald that says he is being charged in March 2010 for unfair business practices etc...we have been unable to find any more info since.


A clip from the article....


By Renata D'Aliesio, Calgary Herald August 16, 2009

Alberta employment agencies thrive as job losses grow. Critics call for stricter regulation, tougher enforcement for rapidly expanding industry

Two other cases are before the courts. Josephine Garcia Ramoso of Edmonton, a foreign employment recruiter, faces charges of fraud and unfair business practices. She's accused of illegally collecting $15,000 in fees from nine Filipino workers, who were never offered jobs in Alberta.

In March, Calgarian Michael James Delorme is scheduled to appear in court to face charges of unfair business practices and illegally charging a $500 fee to a non-temporary foreign worker. Delorme's employment agency licence has been cancelled.

Any info you have could help.

cock sucker got me and a few of my friends aswell, 600$ a peice and that was expeirienced hands at the peak of the patch. sweet talker! i will take him out behind the boiler next time i run in to him.

Anonymous said...

AN UPDATE...

Just found out that Mike did go to court and face charges on March 4, 2010 for unfair business practices and illegally charging a $500 fee to a non-temporary foreign worker.
He plead not guilty and the charges were dropped??? WTF, is there no justice.

I suggest that anyone who SAYS they are charging Mike or going to try to...then do so and stop this thief once and for all.

Let's all band together and get him.

My friend and I drove from prince edward Island when we were 18 years old to start a career in the oil patch, when we arrived we made contact with a couple surveying companies and had a few jobs that would fly us out the next day but in that time that mother fucker mike delorme returned our phone call and we decided after meeting with him we would hold out for a rig job, so we paid our 500 dollars and waited for over a month in a shit hole hotel on the north end of Calgary and he never delivered.He knew what our situation was and that we obviously had little money! I called that fuck 2 to 3 times a day! Sometimes he would answer and other times he wouldn't for days! He always had an excuse whether it was him being in the hospital or that the plane was leaving next week to the rig! He even took us out to a fuckin gay bar with transfestites, I dunno what kind of sick fuck he is but I would like to find that piece of shit and punch his face in! I don't know how no albertans have done this yet! He is obviously still out there doing this to people under a new name it looks like! Does anyone have any new news on this guy? I have kind a forgot about this whole experience, since it happend like 6 years ago but lately I can't forget the amazing xmas I had eating pizza pops in a shit hole hotel waiting for a complete fuckin schmuck to deliver on my 500 dollar donation! Thanx mike delorme you are an absolute fuck! One day u will get what u deserve and if I'm in calgary area again I will find you! Paybacks a bitch! I see your still tryin to defend yourself, for what I don't know! Everyone that has dealt with you knows your a lieing fucking no good flamer!
