At local reality ads, I worked there for a month.While I was there, I noticed they would offer their service (sign up for a blog, get paid for ads on the blog) and then not pay the members.They claim to pay out a large sum of money for your blog posts (up to 200 per post), but then never actually send the money out.They also claim to pay their sales staff, but when you ask for your payment, you are told that the sales didn't go through. Every sale that you make, they keep.

Now they are claiming to do an SMS shortcode service (for advertising). This service is just fake. They have the ability to do the service, but what they are doing is they call up businesses, then they have the business do a test text message to try out the service, but then they charge for the texts and pocket that money.
They then offer the business the option to sign up for this service, they then keep the 250 dollars for the service, never pay the sales staff, and then they never complete the membership with the business.

This company scams it's employees and its paying "members" out of whatever money they can. Then, they have a backend sales that upsells the first sale for MORE money, and they keep that as well.
