The Reason this Review (only one) Is Here!!

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 10, 2016

We have been in business for over 26 years and about once or twice a year, we have somebody who will start (TRAINING) to become a manager and within the first 1-2 days, they quit (as they do with most things!) and a couple of people even resort to online bashing. "We did something wrong to them" is what they write.  In reality, if they just went through with the training, they would have earned the management position making 50K or more.  That is what happened for us.  We committed to staying the full length of training!   We are very upfront with what we do and how our company operates. If you are like many people between the ages of 18 and 35 that don't possess the necessary experience or education to earn a high income, and being a keyboard gangster like the grievant, is what you prefer, then this isn't for you. If you're feeling too young, aged out, unqualified, ill skilled, left out, discriminated against, or even needing a fresh start, then we ARE your best option.  We focus on being the solution for people who are aspiring for higher level postions that may never be rewarded with one. We develop our managers in the three areas of our very successful marketing business. Training is an earn while you learn process with no money ever out of your pocket. We have people training in our locations that are earning above average income per week while we assist them in growing professsionally and, just as importantly, personally. The first area is learning how to work with & interact with our customers. The second area would be training and assisting in the development of others. The third area would be learning how to run the office itself, ie. learning to run classes, meetings, and overseeing the day to day business operations. Once your training is completed, you will be promoted to a manager position.  You will be managing as your profession. This is the same way we were trained and how we were promoted to our own office over 26 years ago. From that, we have opened many, many people into their own locations (some of whom we still work with over 20 years later).  We are a fully-functioning business with bought furniture, computers, artwork, electronic equipment and a staff. We also have the support of our community. We are parents and business owners with a huge business associate fan base all over the country.  Every day people ask us how we became who we are and how we have the life we have. There aren't people that have worked with us for at least a BRIEF length of time that would say something derogatory towards us. If you are going to take advice from what amounts to less than 25 people in 26+ years who quit, and blamed us for the reason they are disgruntled and stuck, then I get it! However, if you truly have a winner's attitude, decent work ethic and the willingness and ambition to train for 60 days or less, then we will work harder for you than you EVER will for us. 

Thank you, Robert

Uh Oscar??  If you have a issue that needs to be resolved with me, then call me or, better yet, put your contact info. up so I can reach you. Otherwise, it is plain to see you are confusing us with d**k and Gayle, who operated their business in Lombard back from the late 70's till a little past the mid '90's.  We were not even in the business operating until 1991, and at that time we drove a 1st generation Hyundai (never to be confused with a Rolls)!  He drove the Rolls and was a large, dark haired guy and she was a smaller dark haired woman.  They retired back around '97ish. We have never had any sort of association with them!  In the meantime, because of your confused mental state, you are putting up comments that would be viewed as an assault on our character.   Obviously, you have never met Ricki nor I, otherwise you would have your facts straight.  But, you continue to use people that you have crossed paths with from your past and are confiusing them as us!  In doing this, you are committing slander/libel! Again, I would greatly appreciate your contact info.  We have lived in only 6 of the cities you have listed, either as unmarried youths or young adults living with our families, or as a married couple.  You evidently are bordering on stalking us?   Um, there is more than one person who has the same name.  One of which has died!!  You evidently are stalking us and are attempting to do harm to our business and also to our personal reputation!

Um, Oscar?  I believe you are referring to a couple perhaps named d**k and Gayle who operated in Lombard from the 80's thru the mid 90's.  He was a large man with curly, dark hair and she a smaller woman with dark hair.  They were in the business long before us and he did drive a Rolls, she, I'm not so sure.  And, we have only combined, lived in 6 of those areas all the way back to when we were both youths.  If you have a bone to pick with me, call me to discuss or, even better, put your true identity and contact info. on here so as to allow us to contact you!

Just Trying to Keep The Streets Clean

AUTHOR: OscarO - ()

POSTED: Monday, May 05, 2014

Slander?  You may want to check your dictionary on the definition.  I may be off on the exact year, but I remember your loud mouth, the Rolls parked outside (could swear I heard you say it was yours) and the spiel about Ricki and the VW.  I remember the dingy, green(?) office in one of the light-industrial parks in Lombard, IL, off of Finley Rd. – 22nd Street, perhaps? Could technically have been Lisle, IL?  DBA and operating addresses aren't necessarily the same.  I remember walking into your office for a release signature for the samples I wanted to return.  “I don’t deal with that s**t!!  Talk to one of the girls out there!”, waving your arms wildly.

 

Moved twice since 1994?  So what are the other cities listed in a basic people search (public record)?  Typically listed in reverse chronological order…

 

Arlington (Bedford), TX

Elmhurst, IL

Alexandria, VA

Birmingham, AL

Pelham, AL

Lisle, IL

Scottsdale, AZ

Charlotte, NC

Pikesville, MD

Perry Hall, MD

Jacksonville, FL

Phoenix, AZ

Washington, DC

Arlington, VA

Atlanta, GA

 

A few of these are probably exclusive to you or Ricki.  Regardless of your migratory habits and other details - I remember you and Ricki, and I remember your scam.  I am just a single voice among many that periodically tries to warn people about your scheme.  You prey on the young, the gullible and the desperate.  That’s the point.

 

Maybe these quotes from others that have met with or worked with you are slanderous as well?

 

“I remember Rob telling me once that I needed to leave myself a "trapdoor" when I answered peoples questions. He encouraged me and my partner to mislead them to keep them selling the merchandise. Then later when the new young people started to get wise to the misleading lies, the trapdoor strategy allowed a person who gave the interview to claim that the new person had simply comprehended what was said the wrong way, however they actually meant to mislead people to keep them selling product for as long as possible.”

 

“They finally accumulated such a horrible reputation over several years in Birmingham that the company told them they just needed to get out of the state of Alabama and move away so they could continue to recruit new victims in a fresh territory.

 

“Rob and Ricki Zuckert have left a trail of people with devastated lives and bank accounts.”

 

“…as a person who spent over 2 years of my life working with Rob and Ricki Zuckert, and witnessing him kick holes in the sheetrock walls of his office, because he was upset that his people didn't sell enough perfume…”

 

“He has been successful at this business, because he has the skill to convince a few people to believe in him, long enough to sell enough perfume to make the system work.”

 

“I received a response from Rob Zuckert the head scam artist in the Chicago area.”

 

Sources for these quotes aren’t necessary.  All one has to do is copy & paste them in any Web browser search.

I am going to respond to this to set the record straight. This person is an anonymous individual who is slandering my wife and myself. Back in 1990-91, I was just getting into the business as a trainee. This robot has never met me, obviously...he calls me a large man, since when is 5'8" considered large?? I did not get into the business, nor go through training in Illinois. I have never owned a Rolls Royce, nor have we ever owned a VW (not even a red car of any brand that may have been mistaken for a VW). Anyone who knows us knows we only buy black or silver, LOL. Since 1995 we have only owned Mercedes' or Audi's. Since December of 1994, we have moved cities twice. In 2002, from Alabama to Illinois & more recently from IL to TX. Never have been harassed by the "locals". As a matter of fact, this will be my opportunity to show the progress one can make with our business. We originally built at 449 Eaton Rd. Hoover, AL., the graduated to 1395 Lake Trace Ln, Hoover, AL & then relocated to Chicagoland area to raise our daughter near family. Our address there was 15W221 Lexington St. Elmhurst, IL. Our business was never operated in Lombard,IL but in Elmhurst. Google those addresses and you will see public records of ownership as well, stunning photos of the inside of the Elmhurst residence. So...if anyone or anything is bs, it would be you sir/ma'am, and your slanderous lies. The humorous part of all this is you claim to have met us in 1990/91, knew us for a few days, but yet know everything about us since? Perhaps you are a stalker? Perhaps you have mistaken us for someone else from your past of a very long time ago? I believe the record has been set straight.

Rebuttal to this lie

AUTHOR: Owner - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, April 29, 2014

The distributor settles up for the cost of the product x how many products were sold at the conclusion of each day.  The money the distributor collects over the cost of the product is put in their pocket at point of sale to consumer.  W.T.F. does not collect distributors profit!  W.T.F. will offer extra incentives to distributors in the form of a daily volume bonus and/or a profit sharing incentive based on the volume of sales a distributor does for a week.  The distributor must be a contributing member of the business at point of payout for those additional monies to be made to that individual.  These are financial incentives offered by W.T.F. to a person who is establishing a continued relationship with W.T.F.  Much like a bonus offered at other business' or finanacial aid for continuing secondary education, those incentives are not continued if the individual quits or "drops out".  Furthermore,  W.T.F. keeps a receipt of every sale of every person who has sold it's products.  This receipt shows how many products were sold by individual and at what price those products were "settled up" for to W.T.F.  If there is any change due back to  distributor, W.T.F. will make change and return difference to distributor immediately.  Individual making the complaint was paid in full for the 7 sales over a 3 day period he did.  He was attempting to get W.T.F. to pay him more monies over what he had already collected.  When requested by me to get his notes so as to validate his claim, he refused to get them.

The Zuckerts

POSTED: Monday, April 07, 2014

Ah yes, Rob & Ricki Zuckert.  I got the Scamtura jerk around for a couple of days - back in 1990 or 1991!

 

That's right.  Over 20 years ago, and they're still up to the same scam!  The office was in Lombard, IL at that time.  I remember Rob Zuckert - a large, loud-mouthed and  profane individual.  He sported a Rolls-Royce back then, although I thought later, "Would I know a brand-new Rolls from a 15 or 20 year old POS Rolls by looking at it briefly? Probably not".

Ricki's ride was a red VW Cabriolet.  Modest - I know.  Rob rambled on about how she could have had any car she wanted but she just had to have the VW!  Yeah right.

So, now they're out in Texas.  Do a search on either of their names on any people-finder site.  12, 14, 16 addresses in the last 20 years?  Who moves that often?  Goldilocks Syndrome?  Just can't settle down?

Bullshit.  They move whenever they've overstayed their welcome and start getting harassed by the locals.

Run, people.  Spread the word about these scammers far and wide!
