The majority of posts on here seem to suggest that this is door to door sales.

Best to read through them yourself, but to be honest, it doesn't look good.

THANK YOU ALL FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND WAISTING MY JOURNEY FOR DEFO. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS I READ ABOUT CITY BUZZ MARKETING.  I WONT BE GOING AT ALL. THANK YOU STEVE.. I HATE DOOR TO DOOR SALES. YUCKY.  NAA NOT MY TYPE OF JOB.  ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU

Hello all!!!
I want to warn everyone here about Rowley financial group llc.  Please please be very wary of them as they are not a legit company at all. One day I received an email from them a guy called alexia!!! As he were telling me about how impressed he was with my cv and so on. He employed me on 3/03/2012. My job was as an accounts clerk.  I was employed by them do anyway without a job I signed the paper work and they were asking g for my bank account details do I really believed them and guess what you won't believe it.  They started to pay me over £2300 a day. Mr job was withdraw the money keep £200 and send the remaining amount to Ukraine using western union or money gram. So I stupidly did. I then had another lots of money on second day and when I went to the bank they stopped me. They said I won't be be able to withdraw any money as it is going to under investigation.  I thought omg what is really happening to me. So I left it after couple weeks later I had police coming up to my house and they were asking me about the money. Where and what job I was doing and do on. I thought myself hang on a minute mate I ain't doing anything wrong I was just doing my job. They asked me if I have the emails fro. Them that to show I was working for them I said yeah and showed it to them. The sad thing was they closed my account cos of fraud. The company stole someone else's money and transferred it into my account. Which I didn't know.  Anyways be careful of this and please be safe. I don't want anyone  to go through what I have been.

Because if you work hard you make more than a 9-5 role people are just plain lazy.

Who are you guys to ruin a job for someone else, you get paid for what you do its fair unless your going to work for a company while planning not pulling you weight.

At least when your paid 100% commission it shoes who's committed or not.

Looks like you destined for 6-7 per hour

I was completely fooled by this company.  I was looking for events/marketing Jobs and came across a job titled events assistant for this company called citybuzz in Manchester.  I got an email the next day from someone called Ann, however the emailed was signed Elizabeth grace (didn't pick up on this till afterwards) asking me to go for an interview THE NEXT day! so being little naive me I turned up for the interview, the building was for a finance company and no signs of citybuzz anywhere... I showered with compliments about how good my cv was and how I had been picked in the top 20 of applicants.  No mention of what the job actually entails... And when I asked I was taken on a long spin which completely dodged my question.  He then asked me back the next day to shadow someone on the job.  I turned up in a little dress and a jacket thinking we were off to an event... Nope it was a freezing cold day and I was off out onto one of the estates in Manchester doing door to door.  I had to pay for my own bus ticket... We then went back to the office... Filled out a small "test" and then was offered the job... Again no full description of what the job entails other than I was a fast track management team.  Came back the next day to start signing papers and that's when I was told I would be starting out door to door but I may only be doing it for a couple of days... Signed what needed to be signed and came home.  Then I found this thread and everything started making sense... I got a phone all a week later off my mentor and he had left the job but wouldn't tell me why... I will not be working for this company.  Sasha the so called manager sits behind the desk with a laptop dressed in scruffy clothes, you would not think she was the manager at all.  This company lies to drag in people who are looking to start a career by false advertising.  I don't want anyone else to fall for it and feel the shame and embarrassment that I did.

Just to let everyone know that CityBuzz is also using the company name Prologic Acquisitions.
same CEO/owner Laurence Randell
CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They still owe me money, do not work for them

I worked for this company with Steve for a few weeks, the fact it was door to door unfortunately didn't put us off...we sold on a daily basis hitting targets and getting told we'd made £100 in a day so we were cheering every morning, ringing the bell etc...however the hours soon got longer and after 4 weeks we were yet to see a penny..when we both brought it up to Lawrence his scruffy admin who he shags on the side threatened to call the police if we wouldn't leave the building as it was their rented premise. I wish their clients are reading this because if I was a blue chip client, city buzz would be the last guys I'd be using for customer acquisition - stick with cobra at least they pay you

I was over the moon when I finally got an interview as I had been unemployed for a few months.

Before my 1st interview and they sent me all the wrong details which made me think 'is this a scam?' but the manager/receptionist reassured me that they had just recently moved into a new office and it took her time to get used to what the new address was. She also called me 'babe' and 'Hun' over the emails.

When I finally arrived the office was shabby and were playing loud music, more like a night club if you ask me!

The interview I had sounded promising they sounded like a great company to work for they invited me back the next day for a 2nd interview.

They told me we was going to the town centre (Manchester) to promote SKY, I didn't think much of it as they said if gives me a chance to really know what a days work is like at the company, we got on the tram to Radcliffe? they quickly told me they had a change of plan and we were going door knocking, they told me whilst the tram was moving so I couldn't even get off?!

We got to a horrible rough estate and it was freezing, I had no coat or suitable footwear, they told me they would be an hour or so here and we will be returning to the office again shortly, I was roaming the streets in a place I don't know with people who I don't know they said at 9:30pm (my interview started at 10:30 am) that we are going back to the office, we didn't get on the tram till 11pm I finally got to check my phone whilst I was on the tram and I had loads of missed calls and texts asking where I am, I rung my mum back and she was so thankful I called, she was worried because no one had heard or seen me for hours. I got to the office and they congratulated me and offered me the job and asked me for a start date, I hardly put any effort into my 'interview'  when I got called into the managers office I told her how disgusting they are telling people fake job roles and using them to do their dirty work, I also told them I didn't want the job, the manager/receptionist started to give abuse to me, saying I was a waste of time and I am no good for their 'company'

The office is based in such a [***] HOLE in Manchester.

When I finally got home I sat down and my fingers had doubled the size, my legs ached and my feet swelled, I was so hungry and tired, I felt so embarrassed with the way I was treated and made me feel sick that I wasn't the only one who was treated the same. I rung up the next day and asked to be compensated for the time I had wasted when I could have been at another interview and my travel costs because personally I think I deserved some payment for having my time wasted.  As you can guess I had abuse thrown at me and the call ended.

I sent complaints in to the job website companies that were advertising and they did nothing about it!

It has now put me off looking for jobs online, I now do proper checks on the companies I apply for.
I now have a good job from learning from my mistakes.

IM JUST SHARING MY STORY SO NOBODY ELSE GETS TREATED THE SAME AS I DO!!!!!!!

Its not even a proper business, just fraud and scams in an office.

Exactly the same thing happened to me! ive already shared my story on here but they are disgusting!!!!

Did you go to Manchester Active? I have an interview with them on Friday but can find very little info on them.

Hi did you go to your interview? i have an interview with them but doubt il be going!

You are completely delusional... This company is slavery

I work on a cruise ship 7 day a week 10 hours a day... I know real hard work... However I get a salary. When I interviewed for this god awful company and heard it was 100% commission they got reported straight away. Slavery.

I worked for these people trust me its a scam. Sasha was t the lot.he worst of

This company is definitely a scam getting people to work for what is not equivalent to minimum wage dream of success , sold on a d by ripping of the public by pressuring them on there door step. Sasha Leatherbarrow was the worst con artist of the lot along with Lawernce Randall and John Sherwood. hope there future employers know what they did before they came to them, its disgusting how they treat people, save yourself time and money,don't go to the interviews
