Werner International Enterprises Inc. Phone scam on small businesses related to "lightbulb sales" Baltimore Maryland

I used to work across the street from this company......... THEY will ONLY HIRE you if you are in a Drug/alcohol  NA-AA........program... MUST be in RECOVERY!!!! W.T.F.????? Not fair!!! also when you are hired you must sign a confidentiality contract stating you will not discuss the business with anyone and what goes on in the business, I got this first hand because employee which is my friend told me everything. This company is a rip off, and the employees stand around outside smoking cigarettes talking about how they rip people off selling these broken light bulbs. Stay away stay away stay away. You have to be a drug addict or alcoholic to even be considered to have a position with this company anyway. Find pissed off on Bank Street!!!

I did more research on "Werner International Enterprises" after receiving a call from the company, which I was unable to take because I was going into a meeting. I called the number back, and it was answered as "Easton Chemical Supply", and it uses the same telephone numbers and address as "Werner International Enterprises". The telephone scam technique used by "Werner International Enterprises" shows up under a Google search of "Easton Chemical Supply" as EXACTLY the swame method used on the lightbulb trick. Perform the search yourself. You will see a complaint to the Baltimore Better Business Bureau, exactly like the report I made previously.

The common link in these companies is a guy named "Ben Cox". There are 2 SBA small business loans of $7,000 each to "Werner International" and "Easton Chemical Supply", made at the same time, and Ben Cox is the common tie between the loans.

"Werner International Enterprises" also shows up as a financial consulting entrprise when you perform an on-line search. However, there is no such company listed under the National Association of Securities Dealers (also called the NASD). You can do a public records search of both "Werner International Enterprises" on the NASD site and also do a search for "Ben Cox"-- neither of which shows up as a registered broker-dealer. To sell securities to the public in the US without an NASD license is a federal crime. I have no idea what Werner International Enterprises purports to be as a "Financial Consultant", but it is an indication that there may be more going on here than a simple light bulb scam. The appearance is that there may be multiple actvivities going on with Ben Cox, Werner International Enterprises and Easton Chemical Supply.

Confused by all this seemingly fraudulent activity, I have referred this to law enforcement officials in Maryland and have provided them with complete sets of documents on what they tried to do to my company.

Until those governmental officials and law enforcement agencies have completed their investigation, it may serve you well to carefully consider any proposed business with this group. If you have been scammed by them, report it to the Baltimore City Police, Check and Fraud Unit, in Baltimore, Maryland. MAil copies of your documents to "Baltimore City Police, Check and Fraud Unit, 242 West 29th Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21211". They may be able to assist you in recovering any damages you may have suffered. Good luck!!
