The "company" places small job ads looking for a sports marketing salesperson. They just put that they are located in your nearest city when in fact they are only located in Florida. The job is just simply listed as a sports marketing job then when you apply you find out that it's some cushy door-to-door sales job trying to push calendar ads on local businesses. The ads run from 500 - 800 dollars a piece and you are supposed to sell these ads and place them on some calendar that is supposed to be given out at local schools. They also claim that most of the job is renewing ads with businesses and renewing calendar orders with schools. Then, you send them all the money you make and they are supposed to pay you straight commission for your efforts. They also claim that you can do the job with your eyes closed and you'll make 70 - 80 grand a year..ha.

There are really no requirements for this job. Even if you send your resume and they call you, they barely ask any questions and hire you on the spot. You could be a complete psycho-path, and they just hire you on the spot to represent their so-called industry leading sports advertising company. They send you an email with some papers that they want you to print out and fill out and send back to them. One is your personal information (even asking for social security number) and they don't even know you. Another sheet is one they try to call their "wish list" which is where you are supposed to list 10 schools in your area you "wish" to do business with. All this form is for is so that they know which schools are in your area, because as stated above, they have no current customers in your area like they claim. After you fill all this stuff out and send it back, you get a crappy call from some guy named Lewis Victor. He talks with a gigantically fake sounding Italian accent and acts like a tough guy telling you how it's gonna be. It's actually quite comical because the guy is completely stupid and you really feel like one of your friends is prank calling you.

IF you get past all of this stuff, which hopefully you are smart enough on your own to not even fill out the paper work for this joke business, then they send you stuff in the mail so you can go out and try to sell this crap advertising for some calendar that most likely the schools don't want to give out. They have their own calendars, they don't need this companies calendars. That is assuming the company even honors the advertising agreement and actually does what it says...Which they don't. Once you make sales for the week and send the money the company never pays you your commission. You do all the work for nothing. They keep the money, you barely even know who your dealing with. You are basically screwed. In a nut shell, You sell their product and don't get paid for it as promised. The business you sold to never gets the ad they bought, the school never gets any calendar to give out to students. Then you are on the hot seat because it looks like you scammed a business and stole their money. If you happen to make a lot of sales doing this, there's a pretty good chance you are on the hook for some trouble because in the end it was you that stole the businesses money and didn't deliver. You can't even give their money back because you sent it to Lewis Victor and his cronies in Florida.

- They claim to be the supposed leader in sports advertising. No one's ever heard of them. No one's ever done business with them. They have a poor website that my 10 year old nephew could design better. It's a scam that gets people to sell their product and not pay them.

- Don't apply to "work" for this company. It's begging businesses to buy advertising they'll never get. Even if a miracle occurred and the company actually sends the calendars to a school, they won't pay you and you can't do anything about it.

- The only thing that I suggest is calling the company and asking for Lewis Victor just to hear this guy talk. All you have to do is hear him say one sentence and if it doesn't convince you there is something wrong with that business then you deserve to be ripped off.
