Useless Danes Named and Shamed

Following the famous 80:20 rule, I expect generally that any country I go to, I'll find 80% of people to be generally helpful, friendly and law-abiding, while 20% might be rude, unpleasant, criminal or generally otherwise best avoided.

During my time in Denmark, however, I found the reverse applied. Probably only about 20% fitted into the first category, while it often seemed like 80% were rude, unpleasant, disrepectful and criminal. The last category, the criminal one, is what amazed me most, beginning with the huge chunk of people who think it's OK to feign illness or an inability to work, so they can claim huge chunks of government benefits and other various freebies, right through to the builder, Ole Grønlund, who made an appalling job of restoring our house, before failing to return to finish the job, Morten Høgenhav, the worst bunch of cowboy painters even seen, and the children who stole our childrens' toys from our own garden, then proceeded to treat our garden as a playground for 2 weeks, destroying yet more, unstopped by the various adults who must have witnessed it, probably including their own, useless, benefit-claiming parents.

Next, a dishonourable mention must go to Ken Lynge Primby and his Connect Resourcing/Recruitment Agency. Ken has a nasty and previously proven habit of accidentally letting his business fall into liquidation once every few years, leaving the debts (like mine) with the unfortunate encumbents, while a new Connect rises like a phoenix from the ashes. It's now looking like I'm only going to get a few percent of what I'm owed.

Finally, who could forget the biggest thieves of all, the Danish government. Who through various taxes end up helping themselves to approximiately 70% of your income and a huge chunk of your savings.

Needless to say, if I ever see a Dane in distress, they can expect little help from me. And if any of the above should step out onto the road, not seeing the huge lorry chundering towards them, I can only hope I'm there to see the moment of impact.

Ken Lynge Primby - the story grows

As people who read my posts in the past probably know, I suffered big time in Denmark, thanks to a certain Ken Lynge Primby and his numerous Connect business companies.

Well, good to see the man getting the publicity he deserves, as evidenced by this article here.

Would you do business with this man?

Connect and Ken

In order to bring this blog back on track, any further comments on the allegedly underhand activities of Ken Lynge Primby and Annette Nørgaard, will be covered at the new connect.dk blog.

It's fair to say, as I sit here back in the Uk, missing my wife and 3 children who are still in Denmark, my wife 8 months pregnant, trying to cope alone, while I'm trying to earn enough to keep the family going, that Ken and Annette are responsible for my current situation.

One can only hope that "what goes around, comes around", as the saying goes and that natural justice does exist out there somewhere.

Blogging away

If anybody out there is wondering why my blog isn't being updated so often nowadays, the reason is simple enough. Following the latest debacle with Ken Lynge Primby and his "allegedly" fraudulent activity at mine and others expense, I decided to leave. Truth is, this was the last straw in a series of bad experiences in this unpleasant country.

If you read this and you're thinking of moving to Denmark, I'd ask you please to consider very carefully before committing yourself, and, if you do, don't bring any money with you, otherwise they'll get it off you somehow. I have never seen a country more obsessed by money than Denmark, although, since the taxes are so high, criminal activity and theft, which starts with the government and their ludicrously high tax rates, are the only way for anyone to make a bit of money on the side.

I may be financially much, much poorer for the experience of living in this hell, but much wiser in life. I've been more sure of where I stand on the issue of whether the welfare state actually works, thats for sure.

A bit more on Ken Lynge Primby and Connect

A bit more information follows on the Connect Agency in Tvangsopløsning. I have also got plenty of stories and rumour, but what follows is free information, provable from sources such as http:\\www.cvr.dk (The danish central companies register).

In August 2005, as Connect IT Rekruttering CVR Number on 25201604 slipped into konkurs (Liquidation), 2 new Connect companies were opened by Ken Lynge Primby and Annette Ladefoged Nørgaard, both of Borgbjergalle 13, Odder. The first was CRA Holding ApS CVR Number 28976356, described as an investment business whose main business would be investing in the shares of other businesses - main Director was Annette Nørgaard. The second was Connect Resorce Agency ApS CVR No. 28976496, 100% owned and funded by CRA Holding. Note that Ken Lynge Primby, my sole contact during my time working at the Agency has no legal role in either company.

In May 2007, with the first set of accounts overdue, CRA Holdings is put into closedown /Tvangsopløsning state, and a certain Mr Ken Lynge Primby is appointed liquidator by Annette Ladefoged Nørgaard - nice move Annette!

Ken then files for closedown that the company has no assets. Interesting! Myself and at least 5 other contractors are working for them, but it has no assets? Hmmm....

CONNECT I TVANGSOPLØSNING

My agency, Connect is in Tvangsopløsning.

If there are any other IT Contractors out there affected by Ken Lynge Primby and his Connect Resorce Agency, CVR Nummer 28976496, Søren Frichs Vej 38 C, 8230 Åbyhøj going into tvangsopløsning, then please contact me or leave comments here. Connect can be viewed at this website http://www.connect.dk/

I note the business went into tvangsopløsning on 17/9/07, but he still kept quiet and agreed a new contract with me starting 1/10/07.

This just about sums up my entire time here. If anyone still thinks Denmark is some kind of socialist idyll, full of nice fluffy, fair-minded people-this is more or less how my partner sold it to me-then I suggest they try living here.

I see Ken Lynge Primby is already back in operation through his new business, also called Connect; or perhaps more correctly; Connekt, at the same website http://www.connect.dk/. But new address Banegårdsgade 20 1 mf8000 Århus C. Nice.

The guy has traded through a number of different Connect Companies during his time, including :-

Connect Resorce Agency
Connect Resource Agency
CONNECT CONSULTING APS
CONNECT CONTRACTING APS
CONNECT IT REKRUTTERING APS
CONNECT VIKARSERVICE APS
Connect

Please, please let me know if you are having problems with him, or even remember the last time this happened to Ken Primby with Connect Rekruttering Aps in 2005. Ev entually resolved by Konkurs.
