Fire Specialist, Inc is a rip-off! Don't get scammed! Austin Texas

Unfortunately I didn't do my research and I didn't find out about this website until it was too late. I too was a victim and a ex-employee. My manager was Chris Gottschalk out of the Lakeway Austin office. I was promised the world and got just a little piece of it.

At first during the "interview" I was told that I would be given 15% for all my sales. I knew all along that the training program was unpaid, but I was told that it shouldn't take more than 30 days.

Being the trusting person that I am, I gladly ran over to the bank for the $60 registration fee as well as the $95 kit fee. I was told by Mr. Gottschalk that if I get thru the 1st step within the first week that I was there that he personally would refund me the $60 fee out of his own pocket. Well, I sold $2000 in a day and a half and never got refunded the monies. I understand that this is not the company's fault, but because Mr. Gottschalk was a manager for this company and made these promises to me it is a poor reflection on your business Mr. Brom.

When I passed the 1st and 2nd steps, I was then told that I would need to start doing presentations and hiring people. Also, while this was going on, Chris told me that I would be his new secretary. I was told that I would get paid for the work that I did, by him out of his own pocket.

I did everything that I was supposed to do and never got paid any money. Also, Chris decided not to move me along in the training program bc he didn't want me to leave because I was doing all the work for him. He was getting the credit and the money, while all I got was more and more in debt.

I believe in this product I really do. It's a great product. I just think that the sly way that the company goes around everything is a bit much. I also believe that the prices are way to high for the actual amount received. What I was told was going to be the amount of product was actually way less than what was received. When I received my products, the boxes that actually contained the fire extinguishers were torn and battered, no the packing box, but the actually display box.

I believe that the 3 day cancellation policy is a rip-off, and if you believe in your product so much, don't you think that it should be at least 30 days.

I'm sorry that I really wasted my time and money on this little scam of operations. I believed everything that everyone told me and I got screwed in the end.
