Hi All,

Long post, but I too fell for this and like many of you I've done a little digging after my experience. (I am also posting this wherever I can so apologies if you see this twice)

First of all, legally and technically these companies ARE NOT A SCAM. However annoyed you are at them, they never lied to you. But in the words of Buzz Lightyear, their skill is 'omitting certain truths'.

Legal loopholes and tight small print mean that these companies don't even need to tell you that the work is door to door until you actually start. In most cases, people wont have figured it out until the last few training days.

When you are employed, you are self employed, and you are put to work with a group of people bordering on delusional from the cult like atmosphere so rigorously kept up by the director. These people's social lives have eroded to nothing and their attitudes are warped to only care about money and work. The director has created robots, and despite the massive turnover having these few people is worth his while. If 1 in 1000 becomes a robot, interview 10,000 people to get yourself 10. And when the others finally leave they are either bitched about horribly or shut out from existence, i was told several times not to mention the names of people who had left.

The job itself is miserable, ridiculous hours and false promises. You will return home in pain at almost midnight, and on days where you sell nothing (far more common than they'll have you believe) the experience is a killer.

So who could be behind all this? Well for paramount force, the man is John Johnson.

While digging into my old workplace, finding John was a real needle in a haystack scenario. I sent letters, emails, phoned the company, but no interview. It was sheer luck that I tracked down an old email on my g mail giving his number.

Far from the fire spitting evil thugs the directors have been portrayed in this post, Johnson is eloquent, funny, softly spoken and very intelligent. He was always polite and very quick to answer during our interview. No matter what I asked, he never got riled up, but his answers always seemed prepared, like he has had to do this before?
I only stumped him once. I simply asked 'So is money the be all and end all of work?'
The answer for any person with a shred of ethical conscience is 'no of course not, its a journey and a life experience and money is second to those things'
But Johnson went quiet for a few seconds before muttering weakly, 'to some people, yes.'

Johnson is clearly intelligent, and clearly well educated, and therefore I have a seriously hard time believing he started at ground level. But what is more vile than the misleading information he gives is probably how calm he is. How little anything but money means to him. That includes you, potential worker! Why doesn't he worry about his colossal turnover? Because very simply, John Johnson doesn't care.

So before you go beyond interview stage, ask yourself. Is this the man I want to work for? Do I really want to abandon my friends and morals? Remeber John Johnson isnt the only one. He is Ali Mir, he is Brett Heyes, Alex Pinker and Adam Allen. As ever its your choice, and as ever he will continue to use his acumen not for an ethical business but as a weapon against desperate people. His company is a reflection of him. Does he sound like your ideal boss?

Think before you accept this role

hey guys and ladies! i just want you guys to know that some TROLL has been going around writing under my name Tina, signing up with my details, she/he even took my facebook account, now the acount florentina isla i can't even sign on to, so i got another one, and so so, and spreading false romours everywhere, the Tina that wrote here is not really me, its just a Troll so please ignore her funny comments. and as far as i'm concerned I did work for primus Uk ltd like... 2 years ago. as far as the word scam....NO COMMENTS! i did NOT leave because i thought it was a scam, i left because i wasn't doing very well, i was farrrrrrrrrrrrr tooo shy and timid to work in that place and constantly had panic attacks so i was told to leave, and i agreed simply cause i was very very very shy. but i was accused of being a fake, by my mentor, my manager agreed with her, but i have no bad feelings towards him at all, i wasn't fake just terribly shy.

But... my manager was actually good, he wasn't bad like the troll is making him look like, although i found my mentor to be rude at most times.

if some girls claiming to be called TINA  writes here again bad mouthing people PLEASE REPORT HER or HIM! its just a troll!

3D organisation based in preston is also a marketing company which doesnt tell you upfront that its door to door sales. after placing my cv on totaljobs.co.uk i got an email reply back immediately calling me for an interview on wednesday, but having never heard of the company before i did some googling - and lo and behold, i came across this.

funny this is, the company is also based in manchester - surprise surprise.

needless to say i will not be attending my wednesday interview, thanks to the posts on here which saved me from wasting my time!

I think Vinny and Usman both have AIDS and cancer

I applied for a job on reed.. And I got a phone call today from the number 0121 600 7235 and I didn't answer and I've come on here to see what the number was and all this has come up but the business is called skyline marketing.. I'm guessing all of this is all a con....?

today i went for an interview in Nottingham for retro consulting and when i got there, there was only one office and like 3 or 4 different companies working out of the same place, i went there before to go for an interview with SSC marketing but this woman Alex i saw last time was now with some other 'company' as SSC marketing aint there anymore, and plus on the retro website it says it was made in 2012 and only was in Nottingham but today in the interview they was apparently set up all around the world like in Brazil and Russia and it has been a business since 2007 so its all lies, i was supposed to be starting with home fundraising which are sort of sales but for charity and they give a basic hourly rate and give commission but i thought this retro company was different as i never heard of them but yh. people also working of of 15 hockley are jam industries and UCS solutions but they are all the same company, just getting you to work for free before you leave and you have made a couple of sales for them so they have made 100% pure profit. they always seem to be hiring people. they all spin you the same rubbish, oh within 6 - 12 months you will be at the top, this is cus we are expanding quickly but dont go for it

What you have described is an everyday experience when you attend a level 10 slave position interview at SSC Marketing in Nottingham. The level 8 slaves did not tell you lies, they just omitted to inform you that it is a door to door (D2D) self-employed work flogging dodgy services and products. TalkTalk is one of my favourite junk services and cheap brightly coloured plastic buckets are my favourite tat products. (I must send my chief slaver Davison to confiscate all their money.) If you wish to know more about my global slavery business please consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cobra_Group or simply google cobra scam.

Paramount. These strong masculine names make me go weak at the knees. I love them. Mounting and mounted! oh yes!

इन कंपनियों को सही मायने में घोटाला कर रहे हैं. मैं ऐसी कंपनियों के खिलाफ एक शिकायत दर्ज करना चाहते हैं. ऐसा करने के लिए एक कानूनी तरीका है?
