The girl who answered immediately set me up with an interview at two oclock that day. I kept trying to ask what the job was, what i would be doing, and so on. But she would talk really fast and wouldn't ever really answer my question! So ignorantly...i go to this interview at two.

I walk in, ks.1075 is blarring when i walk in. There is collages of pictures of all of them partying. There are about 7 seven other people sitting in the lobby, which i was confused about in the first place because if my appointment was at two, when were all of theirs scheduled and im sure we were all wondering if we were apply for the same positions. weird. So the girl at the desk makes me fill out this questionaire with all of my information on it. Not thinking anything i do so, and even write down my ssn...bad idea i know now.

At this time it's about 2:30 were all still waiting to be seeing someone. The girl at the desk "Lucky" kept opening her loud mouth asking all of us personal questions that people should not ask on a first basis of meeting someone, and talking about her life and her problems as if i give a flying f***. Mind you the music is still blasting. I saw two people come out from the back and as they walk out Lucky yells "I'll be seeing you tomorrow RIGHT!!!" They kinda nod their head and walk out. This girl had to be on something because a cop pulls up in the parking lot and shes like omg why is their a cop here, can't be here for us, can't be here for us, like freaking out, going 400 miles and hour. The guy next to me askes so what is this place, like what are we going to be doing? And she laughs, "Oh we do that on purpose for the suspense, you'll see. STILL not answering the question i know ALL of us are wondering.

Finally this disgusting man walks out from the back. He's teeth are like rotting out of his mouth, has tattoo's all over the place, has a greasy a*s slicked back ponytail, just soooo unprofessional. Pen marks all over his dress shirt, gages in his ears, and he was wearing sneakers...sneakers with his dress pants! So gross. On my way coming down to this interview my bestfriend tried looking this place up online and she found this site. So she's texting me while i was waiting, telling me how it's a scam, all of this stuff. So i kinda knew going into it what it was, but me being me, i had to just see you know. So he takes back the first three into the back. Where do you know of any job that does group interviews??? I don't.

They come out one by one and Lucky askes them the same thing as she did before. It's my turn. Four of us walk back now and hes like sorry i usually never do this many in an interview i just felt back making you guys wait. (BULLSH*T) He goes from one to the other going over our information we wrote down on that paper. Asking us if we would be interested in a manager position, what our hobbies were, and so on. Josh i think his name was told us we would be managing our own offices, we would be making between $300-$500 dollars a week. Of course this sounded too good to be true, it always is. I was sitting there wondering, like yeah ok you don't look like your making that much money just by the way he looked and the way he talked. What "boss" do you know that would cuss like a sailor while trying to hire people. He even got so personal to tell me "You seemed pretty interested in my tattoo's, you wanna see them?" He unbottons his shirt and is showing me his tattoo's. He's like it's my ying and my yang because one arm was black and white and the other was color. He had giant fetises on each arm, i was just so disgusted and eh shocked.

He gave us all a different time to call back (five min between eachother) to see if we got the job. He said we don't believe in the whole wait three days thing we let you know by tonight. The shady thing is what job makes you call them? They always call you. RED FLAG. So leave this place, feeling so weird i go home and google them and found out all of this stuff! Knowing my time to call was at 3:55 i didnt call them, yeah right! I get a call from them at 4:10! Fifteen minutes after! CRAZY PEOPLE! Lucky's like congrats! you got the job. I played it off like ohhh cool haha wanting to go off on the b*tch. Shes like be here tomorrow at one, be kinda early, bring a notebook, and dress to impress. I wanted to let the world know what just happend to me. Needless to say they have all of my information, i was stressin.

Next day, i get a call at ten oclock in the morning. IT'S THEM!!! I couldn't believe it, they wouldn't leave me alone! She called me seriously three times, over and over. Until she left a message to "remind" me. I wanted to make sure i went in there that day to get that stupid paper i filled out back because i didn't want my info the their hands. I went in there around twelve thirty expecting people to be there for their interview because i wanted to tell them too that it was a scam if they didnt know already. No music is playing at all anymore. I walked in there with two of my friends because i knew if i went alone the b*tch would have gave me more attitude if they werent there. I demanded for my paper back and shes kept asking me why. First of all its none of her d**n busniess why i do what i do. Shes like "hmm a lil paranoid are we? It's ok your not the first person to do this..." Omg lol i wanted to sock this girl in the face. I walk out screaming "F****** SCAM ARTISTS!!!" I just can't believe this is legal somehow. All of these stories ive read on here im so glad im not ignorant and went through with it like alot of others did.

We need to shut these people down! I found their myspaces, everything on them. This is seriously a cult! Everything ive read from people saying, thanks for this great opportunity blah blah blah, its a bunch of bs! i guarrenty its themselves who are writting all the good stuff about them! What kind of horrible people would try to take advantage of others just to make a quick buck? Oh excuse me, it's to support all of their drug habbits! crack heads haha. You wanna make people your puppets, lets see how you like it! You brainwash people to make them sell your sh*tty a*s perfume just because you cant make an innocent living anyother way! I hope you all burn in hell for the pain and hurt you've caused to billions of people, and only god knows!

proud hater!

Shady business? Oh yeah, you bet. But I wouldn't exactly call it a scam. Sure, they aren't necessarily up front about the pay in the beginning but hey, if they were they'd have no employees on day two. Then again, Chris does encourage getting a second job throughout training. Sure their business practices aren't the most professional but if you ask me, they're pretty clever.

I also think it's possible to be successful with their program. That is, if you're willing to let go of financial security for at least 2 months. During this time of economic turmoil, who is? I do think Chris and Iris started out as the minions they hire now. And their job has gone from peddling faux-fume to hiring people to peddle and raise select ones up through the ranks. They do their job well if you ask me.

It really is boot camp with a smile. What do they do with recruits at boot camp? Dehumanize and brainwash. Break you down mentally and build you back up. Only in boot camp they provide three block meals a day and a bed to sleep in. And a paycheck.

My suggestion: Don't work for the company if you don't have a few grand to toss around already. You will not get a steady paycheck in training.

I don't want to go into too much detail. I'm not here to bash the company. What they do may not be right but with as much money as they've gotten from people, who would want to be? I applaud their work.

I quit after not even a week. Why? I need to be stable. I've got bills. I have goals that require financial stability to reach them. But man, I'd love to go back and sit down with those two and laugh about all the suckers. "Ah! Chris, Iris...you got me for a little bit there. Ha ha!"

If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.
