What do these parent companies have in common? EVERYTHING. Just like their subsidiaries change and use different names, so do their parent companies. They all have the same system, run the same scam and are owned by the same people. They all have a 'management training program', they incorporate their subsidiaries in order to avoid lawsuits, they post misleading advertisements on career websites and they all lie and cheat like it's going out of style. On any given day they would account for about half (if not more) of all entry level job postings in the U.S.. Having all these different names is the only way to keep their scam alive because it makes it harder for people to find out who they are working for.
Just think about it. Why do they need so many names? If they were doing good deeds they wouldn't need to hide within their nested spheres of deception and duplicity. If they were doing the right thing, they would have their entire organization under one banner while proudly advertising themselves to the world. Instead, they change names like people change underwear and continue their scam with different identities so that new employees don't know who they're working for.
TOP TEN SIGNS YOU ARE WORKING FOR DEVILCORP
#10 You've been employed by your company for four months and it has changed it's name more than once.
#9 You tell relatives and acquaintances that you are working on an 'advertising campaign' but you're really selling products door-to-door, inside of major retailors or hustling junk in a box on street corners.
#8 You have to go into the office every morning and participate in cult-like rituals meant to brainwash you on their business. You work 12 hours a day 6 days a week and spend all your free time with co-workers.
#7 Your 'management training' involves you buying lunch for new recruits. You realize that you are not a manager nor are you participating in any management training. You believe that you're only 'in the field' in order to get your own office.
#6 You look down on '9-5 schmucks' who have secretaries that make more than you and your entire team combined.
#5 You espouse the principles and theories of the most successful people on earth who would absolutely be repulsed by the business you are in.
#4 You work 70+ hours a week but quietly borrow money from your sixteen year old neighbor who works at McDonald's.
#3 You eat fast food more than ten times a week or can't afford to eat out at all.
#2 You live in a two bedroom apartment with 6 co-workers and one of them is your boss.
#1 You work for an organization that has in just three decades screwed over millions of Americans while only the select few at the top of the pyramid have actually made any real money.
If you can say yes of any of these signs you should probably run.

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.

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.
Or you can go directly to the Pennsylvania Department of State's website and select the DS-Max ruling on 11/04/03 at

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/

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.
