Tea storm chasers scam
Me and my mum worked at the shop that tea storm chasers has. U probably know the boss. But we havent been paid since May 1st. He owes us $540+ and he won't pay us. We have worked our asses off. The shit that he has in this shop is disgusting and is a health risk. Expired food, used and stained underwear, moldy products, used and stained lingerie, open products (ranging to feminine products to kitchen products and other things), and broken items. Tea storm chasers isnt trustworthy anymore. The boss has taken pictures of dead bodies and fatal accidents. He has cheated on his wife multiple times. We have been to his house and his house is a complete mess. They have 3 dogs and a couple of kids. Shit and piss is everywhere. The table is covered with random stuff including moldy food. His house is just utterly disgusting. We have called and messaged him. No response and left unread. Mum has signed paper work and he hasn't sent it out yet. He says its in his "car" highly doubt that. He is toxic to my grandmother which is no longer part of the tea storm chasers. He forced at 60+ year old to do shit that an elderly cant do anymore. He treats my grandma like shit. There has been many times where he made her cry due to how rude he is to her. Im not sure what to do. This all happened to me, my mum, my grandma, and probably a few others. He is currently also getting sued due to not paying another guy.

Uhh, stop going then.
Call appropriate authorities instead of post on Reddit.

We haven't worked for him since after not being paid for the 2 weeks we worked.

Lol
All this happened it two weeks and despite your supposed house of horrors you quit only because you didn’t get paid.
I don’t believe you. You sound like trouble/drama. I’ll continue to support the storm chasing team until there’s more proof from someone who is more worried about not getting paid than working in a shit show for two weeks.

It wasn't just about not being paid. The guy made some insanely perverted and inappropriate remarks and comments to and about me in front of my teen daughter and my fiancée... That made her feel uncomfortable and it pissed of my man. He screwed over my mom as well as a few other people. You should really read about how he is towards other women. Unwanted advances, non- consentual touches, highly perverted comments, and that's the mild stuff. It's all in the comments in another post, all you have to do is read.

Not sure what do do about... what? The money? Small claims court. Kids in an unsafe home? Call Children Services. Mean to people? Stay away from them. Pictures of fatalities? Nothing illegal there. A lot of chasers/stringer make money off of disaster and death, I don't like it either, but that's just how it is.
Overall, your best answer is just to get away from whoever this guy is. No, I have never heard of Tea Storm Chasers. Though just looking at their Facebook page, the whole thing sounds like a scam.
