It is getting really bad for the MLM World Perfume, I just found another World Perfume distributor had a lawsuit filled against them by the Attorney General of Illinois.

Since World Perfume's headquarters are in Dallas, Texas, you can write an online complaint to the Texas Attorney General right now, it only takes 5 minutes! :

Items you can mention
(If possible, please use your own words!):

The esteemed Attorney General Greg Abbott,

I would like to file a complaint about a company near Dallas:

World Perfume, Inc.
1400 Bradley Lane
Carrollton, TX 75007

Dallas is the headquarters for this MLM pyramid scam.

The Illinois office of the attorney general recently filed a law suit against two World Perfume distributors:

There is also a Illinois news report on one of the distributors:

The Better Business Bureau has filed negative reports against World Perfume distributors:

Johnny Whitworth, the president of World Perfume was once one of the largest distributors of Scentura, a MLM scam that the Illinois Appellate court ruled was an illegal "pyramid sales scheme".

http://www.state.il.us/court/Opinions/AppellateCourt/2001/2ndDistrict/September/Html/2000964.htm

(The defendant in this case, Dan Long, also a former distributor of Scentura, now works for World Perfume.)

"A WMI brochure describes the experience of Johnny Whitworth, who is still with Hahn: " He left behind a salary of $150,000, but that didn't bother Johnny. With hard work, enthusiasm, and doing things the "WMI" way, after one year his income hit $600,000."" (Scentura used to be called WMI)
---E. Thomas Jr..Atlanta Business Chronicle, Oct 5, 1987 v10 n19 p1(5)

Like Scentura, World Perfume uses an "independent contractor" license to shield itself from civil and criminal prosecution.

Like Scentura, all of the distributors use a script and are trained to lie to potential employees. The script in fact, is almost exactly the same as Scentura's script.

(Mr. Whitworth took the script when he left Scentura in 1994 to start his own perfume business.)

I successfully closed down a distributor in Salt Lake.

(The statement that "The Bureau has processed no customer complaints on this company since the Bureau file opened in November 2002." is completely inaccurate, I filed a case in November 2002.)

Also there are many angry former employees of this scam:

I would hope you would investigate this multi-level marketing scheme.

#3 Consumer Suggestion

THESE DISTRIBUTOR'S ARE NOT SCAMS, BUT ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE

AUTHOR: Jacob - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 19, 2007

World Perfume has nothing to do with these offices practices. WPI only sells Fragrances and the offices are customers. They have no control over what your experince is with them. I am glad to say, that I am in this business and a very happy owner. If you get the job done, you'll get an office. If you do the operations right, honest and legal you will make 6 figure money. It's changed my life and has opened other paths for me to persue. Because of perfume, I own my own record label, clothing line, and movie company. WPI and Scentura customers who distribute the fragrances out of the offices do not lie, cheat, or scam people in any way shape or form. I know I don't. I tell everyone before they even go sell a consignment what they will be doing and how they are paid. This way it narrows down people for me that will actually do it for a while. Up front, commission only. It's not for everyone. Some people aren't Management material, yet alone Vice President and Ownership material. If my people have money on the books, they get paid and thats why they stay longer. Sales has always had high turn over ratios. Always will. But the money and houses the owner's tell you ARE real. I have friends who own there own offices and the tax documents don't lie. He pays all his people and still has six figures left over for himself before taxes. The only base pay in training is if you hit your quotes and my people know that and don't have a problem with it. Even on crews, if you actually thought of real hour clock hours that you work...Day Pro and Night Pro, we only work ten hours and my crews always average atleast 150 bottles. We, the company pay for the hotel room with company money as told in the second interview. The job is set up for people to make money even in training. I knew people who made 400 a week just in field profit and left their over-rides on the books to have for when they open which is smart. I tell people upfront what the job is and ifit worries you, to not call back and show up because they are wasting my time and theirs. You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. Yes a lot of towns require permits to sell, but 99% can care less because you're passing through. If you approach people the way you were trained you should never get cited, I never did. Also we market, we don't go in selling upfront. There are hundreds of crew sales businesses in this country. All of them use the same similar systems, just different products. They will still be here for years to come. and I even now, when i get board and go on crews i pitch cop places and court houses. Also I would not reccomend filing complaints on these companies. Most offices have a license you sign, and technically they can file 7 figure law suits on you, easily. I have seen it done. Most owners can care less what you think like anyone that has money.., as do i, as i think its sad people view life this way and go on here and drop such sorry reports. Most owners if any, would care...they are to busy, like me..enjoying there life and living it to the fullest and dont take life for granite. This business is letting me finish college for movies because i have the cash to produce and finance them, i have had dinners with some of the most successful ceo's in the country, dr's, lawyers and I have so many women calling my cell i cant even unplug the charger anymore. People get a life, seriously. These reports are honestly kinda creepy and make me question these peoples mental status. THIS IS A 1 IN A LIFE-TIME Opportunity.
