Scentura Creations, Phoenix International Largest Nationwide scams, beware! San Antonio Texas

I am a recent college graduate a little down on luck. I am looking to become a better more experienced person fellow co-workers and/or employees can respect. I responded to this article in the newspaper by chance.

When I first contacted these people, I asked for the companies name, being the well informed college grad., so I could do some research on this company I was going to interview with. I went to all of the "interviews" and finally found out the company's name on the third and final "interview." So, not having any information except the jumbled up "company history" the interviewer told us. Which turns out to being not much history at all. Most of the time, this man told us about his so called past experiences and things that happened in his life instead of learning something about the company in which the group and I were applying too.

It all seemed to good to be true, but something still didn't feel right about it. One thing I did notice was the Better Business Bureau plaque on the wall. I know what the real member plaques look like and this one seemed different for some reason. After I returned home, I started in on my research of this so called "Phoenix International" perfume company. I couldn't find one article, company website, or link to anything relating to this place except this rip-off website I had my doubts about. Not to mention I couldn't find anything about the so called owner, Larry Hahn, or this Mark Laricey person they made a point to name. So, I tried to find some shread of info about them with the Better Business Bureau, since they had one of their "member plaques" on the wall. I search for their phone number and address on the BBB website and even called to find out something. The BBB has no record of this company. Not even in any of the locations they said they had offices in outside of Texas. Sounds rather fishy doesn't it?

After reading the posts on ripoffreport.com, come to find out, I was about to be this company's next victim. It makes me wonder how people can prey on other people like this. I am an Aggie and no matter what people say about us one thing will always stick with me and that is our code of honor, it states: "An Aggie will never lie, cheat, or steal, nor do they tolerate others who do." I think this is a motto everyone should adopt as their own. I do not plan to be one of the people to be scammed by this company, hopefully you will not be either.
