Every one of these companies is a scam and the only people that say otherwise are people who are to naive to see what they are getting into yet or they are a manager who has already sunk to much time into the business that they feel they have to keep at it.
I was part of this stupid company awhile back and the only one that makes money is Mike Putnam and maybee harmony hunt she plays like she has alot of money with a couple nice cars but i don't beleive it.
I was part of the most successful office in the country always number one sales office every week for the whole summer. Weird how just about 2 months after the summer was over the whole office shut down huh? This is how it works by no means do you make it when your a manager all you do is spend your time lying to people who you are interviewing promising a cozy managerial job when all the managers in the country pretty much are slaves as well. This job is an absolute joke. You pay for gas and put thousands of miles on your car
I even feel bad for the managers out there i quit before i got there because i crunched the numbers and they didn't match up with what was promised. You are even getting scamed as a manager they tell you that you can name your own business and run it how you want but the real reason is so Quantum is not liable and can't be tied to any problems that arise because Quantum is just a "consultant" yet they decide exactly how you run your business.
I am actually challenging anyone to rebut this with any points about why this is possibly a good oppurtunity i would glad to shut you up right away.

#14 REBUTTAL Owner of company
RGS Labs International Inc OWNS FW1
AUTHOR: FASTWAX1 - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 01, 2017
I am the owner of RGS Labs International Inc and the brand FW1. I can tell you without reservation that neither you nor any others claiming that my company is "a scam" have ever even interviewed with my company. I started this company in 2004 out of a backpack and through many years of hard work and perseverence we have created a brand that has spread to 28 countries around the world. The 'vendors' that you are talking about are simply resellers and have absolutely NO connection to my company. By slandering my company and my brand you are putting yourself in legal jepordy. We are a small family owned and run operation with only 3 hard working employees who have been here from the start and continue to grow the company through sweat and integrity.. We proudly make all of our products here in the USA using the highest quality ingredients combined with recycled materials.. We have been responsible for donating more than $5M dollars over the past three years to Breast Cancer research through a joint sales effort with our distributors and we are very proud of who we are and our contributions..Sounds like you may have 'spilled milk syndrome' but you are pointing your agression in the wrong direction. I would appreciate if you would do your homework prior to spreading inaccurate garbage on the internet about our company and our product. I ask that you remove this trash as soon as possible so that we do not have to bring our legal team into this matter..
Sincerely
Darren Ellsmore
President/CEO
RGS Labs International Inc.

Employee Scam, fulfilling empty dreams
AUTHOR: RealityCheck473 - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013
My boyfriend works for this company for the past few months now, and I am surprised these compnies are allowed to be out there. All the employees work from seven to 10 pm shifts with the dream that they will become leaders an go on to become owners. They tell you you'll be making $35,000 a year just coming into work everyday, making $900 a week, youll be owning your own business in just six months. They say you will be going around the area, promoting breast cancer awareness at car events around the state. The owner explains that person actually would be making $400 a week plus 25% commission. What REALLY happens is that you'll stand at a gas station for ten hours under the hot sun or bad weather conditions selling car wax off a table. You'll work six days a week from five in the morning to 8 at night. You'll be making people pay nearly twice of what the product is actually worth. the entire price structure is a total lie. My boyfriedn and alll his other co workers have no energy, you'll have no free time or life , and no social life along with strained relationships.
If you take a day off or come in too late you'll lose the the base rate. And then comes the brainwashing. Every morning the Leaders will fill your head with hopes and dreams of becoming an owner in six months or less, making thse that go to colege for that fools right? . They will have a conference call once a week where a guy will tell you how easy it will be to own your own place. They will keep you from quitting by telling you that tough times don't last, but tough people do, and many other molded phrases, all psychological boosters. theyll tell you that sales are only 1% of the business... They feed you lies to try to keep you from quitting. They promised high pay to get you in, and promised frequent promotions to keep you there, then they make you work over 10 hours a day so you don't get much of a chance to find another job making impossible for you to quit.
Truth is, it will take you on average of three years to become an owner, never six months. Your checks will be more $200-$400 a week, and will always go up and down based on your sales. Don't believe the brainwashing, stay away from any local businesses promoting FW1, its for your own good and your family, spouse, and future trust me. Another tip, they are merging to more states out there, one being Detroit, more in New York, and Jersey, so when you see FW1 RUN AWAYYY

FW1, FASTWAX DEF NOT A SCAM
AUTHOR: CompetitiveConceptsNicole - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 19, 2012
I work for one of the MANY companies dealing with FW1 Fastwax, which is a great product first of all. Every single person that works inside of our business, including myself, is pulling in more money a week than MOST college grads with Bachelors degrees. All of our customers buy the products at their own will and whenever we run into any issues we fix them RIGHT AWAY. I do not think our branch has ever had any serious customer complaints.
All of our customers get all of our information to contact us if there is any issues and the only problems we have ever run into since I have been here is a return, which we happily take care of. I work in the office and I am the only one in the office, so I deal with all issues in our office and I know first hand. It is because of people who do not know what they are talking about who ruin stuff for other people.

I am a windshield repair guy with Chipio and it is a very profitable scam. I have met Harmony Hunt the VP of Chipio. but these same companies fall under smart circle as well as your Direct TV sales people and the FW1 sales team. The company is run like a frat party where in as long as you stay drunk you don't realize Larry Tenenbaum is living next to Kobe Bryant and you can"t pay your rent.

Trying to save people time...
AUTHOR: Iworkhard - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 01, 2009
You might as well report these guys too, since they all offer similar "job opportunities:
New York Business Solutions (NYBS)
Prestige Solutions
Ample Opportunity
American Events
Shining Tree International
Innovage
Quantum,
FW1 Wax
Sapphire Skies Promotions,
Olympus Marketing
Those "companies" offered a new job selleing windsheild replacements, usually in dealing with a company called "C2C autoglass" or Coast 2 Coast Autoglass.
Even though this is a different service, it's all the same model.
I had posted a reply to a Pryme Time post as well as looked up other scams and found that it's all the same, regardless of the task. Apparently they're coming from all over the US and Canada.
And if you see a rebuttal from an "ex-employee", they typically give the same "copy-paste" response of how someone never made it past the 1st or 2nd interview or that the person wasn't a good salesperson.

Less than 20%

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 03, 2008
The actual amount they give back to any of the non-profit organizations that they "represent" (D.A.R.E., CPEA, Operation Smile, etc,) is NOT 20%, as the last person commented. It's quite a bit lower. They only give back 5% of charity labeled items such as t-shirts and any other items on the table that bare the charity logo.

CPEA is real Quantum is BS!
AUTHOR: Ivelisse Medina - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Yes I don't want anyone to get me wrong. The CPEA is a real organization; Quantum is pure bull. They make money by misleading people who think they are giving their money to a good cause. The truth is on 20% of what they give actually goes to the charity, the rest (80%) goes to Quantum. This money is then used to pay for vacations for the managers and assistant managers. I even saw a $7000 watch they gave to one of the regional managers!!! It's sad how they take advantage of people and not feel a thing. Their selfish people...it's a shame.

Easct Coast Events, Quantum Marketing SCAM!
AUTHOR: Ivelisse Medina - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 27, 2008
I worked for East Coast Events in New Brunswick NJ. The owner Tasha Arrascue and the Assistant Mananger Shina Abraham were both liers. They would lie to the employees about how much money we would make on certain projects. Shina was part of a project where we would go to collge football games and have people sign up for credit cards. When we asked how much we would be paid for each credit card application they said $8-$9 when in actuality it was only $1.25!!! I asked another employee who was friends with Shina why they had lied about it and she said Shina and Tasha lied because they knew we wouldn't do it if we knew how much we would get paid.
We were told to avoid the question of how much of the money goes into helping the charity (20%). We had to stand outside of 7-11, WaWa, K-mart in the rain or shine and even when it was cold out. It was a complete waste of my time, I would never make the same mistake twice. If you see an ad promising $40-$50/yr for an entry-level assistant manager, WATCH OUT. EAST COAST EVENTS and all of QUANTUM MARKETING IS A SCAM!!!
