BE WARNED!

This is the worse scam yet.

My fience lost his job in the brginning of this year and I knew I had to find a better job. I did a monster search which I thought would be the best thing for me. We needed the money to save up for our wedding which is now very soon. I filed out the information for this firm which posted itself as a great opertunity and trained you on site. I thought seeing as it was on Moster.com that it was a creditable oppertunity. So I did everything it said to do and got a phone call not more then an hour after. I was very excited and I couldn't wait.

I went for my first interview and a very young women interviewed me at first she was asking if I played sports and how well I acted with other people. I didn't think much about it, but then I thought it was weird that she never mentioned anything about what the job really did.

I was asked back for a second interview in the next few days and everytime I went I saw more and more people. I thought for sure I wouldn't get the job. Yet when I went in for the second interview it sounded like there was a huge party going on in the next room. Yelling and hooting and clapping, it was like a pep rally. The people sarted filtering out and then another young women came to me and said that I would be with two men for the day. That they would be interviewing me. I wasn't sure to expect. They came up to me and told me to follow them that they were going to see some clients and that they wanted to see how I would function in this new field.

When in the car they asked me somany questions and my head was spinning. We stopped in a little suburb that I'd never seen before. I know clue where I was. We got out and they went to the door of a house. They started asking questions about cable and phones and I had no clue what was going on. I followed them till they were done and we went back to the car.

When we were back in the car they started asking me questions about what just happened. At this point I didn't know what to think. They took me to lunch which I thought was nice untill it was over and then they started writting things on a note pad and the explained there job to me or at least what they wanted me to hear. They said what I saw with them was just a small part of what they did and that it wasn't that often that they did that. They said that everything was quick and you moved up fast in this line of work. One of the men that was talking had only been there for a 2 months and he was almost to the end or for him his own company. I knew I need the job and that it couldn't be that bad if somany people were working for them.

I started not to long after and at first it was short days, but then it became like a cult. You could only talk to certain people, only talk about certain things at certain times and when you went home (if you ever got home) You couldn't talk about it. I tried to follow the rules but everytime I worked with someone new it was like I had to learn a new set of rules. Then they told me that if I couldn't learn to do this on my own that they would fire me so i tried to memorize everything I could and do the best that I was able. It wasn't till they sent me on what they called a business trip that I really found out how much this job was a con.A group of 10 or more people went to different places in the state and we stayed in a motel for a week. Going door-to-door and trying to get people to get cable service. I wanted to leave but I wasn't even sure were I was most of the time. The first time I went they said that this was normally a one time thing. Everyday for 12 hrs we worked. In teams and I was watched at all times.

I was glad to get home. It wasn't till the sunday after that I got a call saying that we were going back and to pack my bags. My fience didn't have a new job yet so I just sucked it up and hoped this one would be better. This time I was promoted and I had a new set of rules to follow. I thought Great no more worries. Well I was wrong I was getting into more trouble by the minute and I wanted out.

I did the minimum that was expected and kept hidden. Now that I was promoted I was by myself in the field. Yet I wasn't sure of where I was so they would drop me off and keep servailance on me to make sure I was doing my job. I knew when I got back home I wasn't going back.

When it came time for us to leave they came in and said that we couldn't leave yet and that they haven't made there quota. I was furious and I demanded that I go back home. They fought it but in the end they sent me home with a man who had met his quota on time. It wasn't long after that that I knew I wasn't going to be there much longer. Yet to my surprise they wanted me to go on another trip the next week.

I went into the owner and told her I wasn't going. She tried to convince me it was only a few more days till I was promoted again and this would be over. I didn't buy it. So I  told her I quite and never went back. They held my last check, but I didn't care at this point I never wanted to go back.

They had people calling me for the next month and I had to change my number.

Please if you see this company or anyone who works for it Call Someone cause they don't work for who they say they work for.

I lost months of my life to this and it took a toll on my relationships. These people are manipulative and cunning and they won't give up till you threaten them. whatever you do don't sign anything and don't let them have your phone.
