DEVILCORP , The Landers Group, Cydcor, Quantum, Granton Marketing, Innovage, The Cobra Group, Smart Circle, DS Max, etc. etc. , Why do they need so many names? It's because they screw people. Internet

Here's more news reports about Devilcorp misleading their customers. In this link, you will read that Cydcor were found to be complete and utter liars while selling for CenturyLink. http://www.billingworld.com/news/2012/07/centurylink-to-stop-outside-reps-marketing-in-cli.aspx In this report from The Villager, Smart Circle was caught selling fake salon coupons. When questioned about the incident, Smart Circle's media relations company just blamed the manager. It's not like we've ever heard that one before. http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/woodlands/news/salon-victim-of-fake-promotion/article_dcc14646-c067-59d5-84ce-b8b15b4f78ab.html?mode=jqm

Another Product recall?  Here's a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission where you will find that their toy trucks were "presenting a potential chocking hazard".  At least they weren't full of lead and dehp. What's interesting about this link is that they mention DS-Max's old name WWI.  How many names do these people need?

Of course we all know that Innovage is Just DS-Max renamed but here's confirmation from Bloomberg.

Josephine Nyamhovsa, an ex-Cobra employee was awarded 50,000 euros when she decided to fight back and take her case to the Equity Tribunal in Ireland. The tribunal found that a Cobra subsidiary was guilty of harassment and racial discrimination according to the Irish Examiner at http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/50000-for-unfairly-dismissed-woman-52617.html Here's another settled patent infringement case against Innovage this time in the Illinois Northern District Court. Senario v. Innovage case#1:06-cv-05419 or you can go to this link http://www.legalmetric.com/cases/patent/ilnd/ilnd_106cv05419.html I guess we know how to get our stolen money from Devilcorp. Just take them to court, have a winning case and they will pay back every red cent.

That's http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10788079 for your Report on Devilcorp collecting without being registered just like they did in Pennsylvania.  Get excited!

Would you believe that the Pennsylvania Department of State ordered DS-Max and their affiliates including Cydcor, Granton and numerous others (again with the names) to stop collecting funds because they refused to register as professional fundraisers?  Here's a link.

The Portland Mercury published an article about Devilcorp's recruiting process outlining some of the psychological tricks used by these companies to get people to commit to the business.

Here's a similar article from the U.K. which includes a link to the Advertising Standards Authority who found that a Devilcorp subsidiary was blatantly posting misleading job advertisements.  They were ordered to be honest about the nature of the position.zainabusman.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/how-i-fell-victim-to-a-recruitment-scam-in-the-uk/

The Cobra Group (now named Appco Group) was their parent company in the U.K. and Australia.  Here's a news report posted on Youtube by Martin Jones titled Undercover.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehyw2XqAdcc

It would appear as though the link posted in my original rebuttal was incorrect.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=6by6t2xZx3M should take you to the video.  If this for some reason this does not work, please go to youtube and search for Undercover Charities Scam posted by the complaintsboard.  It's must see tv for anyone researching these companies.

I came across this report yesterday and had to write a rebuttal.  My cousin worked for these guys and the stories he told would make your blood boil.  People should go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=6by6t2xZx3m.  It's a Fox6 news report posted on youtube by the complaintsboard entitled Undercover Charities Scam.  In it you can clearly hear their sales rep lie to the undercover reporter.  They should be investigated.
