Don't go to his house. Not even with a friend.
I am a middle-aged woman who has traveled solo extensively throughout Europe and North America, so I am not easily scared. The guy you described scares me.
Call and thank him for mentioning that he is behind on his housework. Tell him your allergies are acting up and that you would like to meet him at Denny's (or another crowded public spot). If he tries to get you to come to his house anyway, get off the phone. (Stand by your front door while on the phone and ring your doorbell - whatever. Just get off the phone.)
Then call the company who gave you the job and ask them to replace you with a MALE signer. Be explicit and unemotional in telling them why. Make certain you talk to a not-young female manager. She will understand. Be helpful in handing off the docs to your male replacement.
Get caller blocking and block this guy's phone number so calls can't get through. Or get caller ID and don't answer the phone if he calls.
Even if this job pays $200, that will be nothing if you get hurt. |
