Just had the same email and it's complete lies. I rang to ask if it was true that there was no salary and only commission and she said there are several jobs available so i went to the interview and was told all the jobs are commission based so don't waste your time. It's a scam I'm afraid. Blue moon direct is just the new name they use because they got so much abuse for their other scam company but it hasn't changed. Avoid alisa nelson like the plague.

They just called me for an interview tomorrow.

They have no website (or at least i cannot find it), and they txt me to confirm the interview time/place....

very unprofessional anyway.

Contact watchdogs because I myself haven't been paid and was paid little for the amount of work i did and wasn't paid the amount I made. Contact watchdog everyone because they are the biggest scams alive. I wish I had seen it before !!!!

After walking in the impending rain, I frantically called an 'Alisa Nelson' to apologise for my lateness - she seemed not to be concerned that I was late at all.- The Alarm bells started ringing Generating conversation about Lady Gaga and red Dell laptop, seemed to be the main focus upon my arrival at the 'Easy Offices', located in the ridicoulsy hard to  locate 'Angel House' in South Quays. After being ushered into a small office, lacking convential furniture (laptop, phone, books etc) a man ( who I never leant his name) rambled on about me becoming a manager in 6months, and representing a 'top american make up company'. He fleeted through the conversation, without giving me any real detail on anything, repeating his 'facts' without emphasis, and asking questions unrelated to the posisiton I applied for ( A Make Up Artist - with no experience?). I was told if I was sucessful, I would receive an email later for my "observation day". I did. It was curisotity that lead me to research on 'BLUE MOON DIRECT', as they now go by. I surley will not be attending, commision 'work', is a euphesim for slave labour. Thinking back, I knew once I left I was never coming back, A waste of oyster money + MAC makeup. But its not me I feel sorry for, its the other teenagers  suited and booted waiting behind me for thier turn to be called for thier 'interview'

i got call today....calling for an interview tomorrow? what i do?

is it a fake ?

HELLO GUYS

PLEASE HELP!

WHO IS YFR LTD? APPLIED FOR A JOB AND THEY GAVE ME A CALL RIGHT AWAY IS IT A DODGEY COMPANY?

All I can suggest is that you read the other 13 pages on here about this company and make up your own mind.  There are is a lot of information on here which will be of interest to you.

cheers will do, i will not bother going to the interview

Applied for job on reed.co.uk and got an email immediately saying I had been 'selected for interview'- way too quick to have read CV. Exactly the same email as someone before in this convo and same address as the other dodgy companies.

AVOID. SSC MARKETING

Wow...i really really wish i read this before i just spend today in liverpool with this so called carolina consulting...i really had NO idea it was a [***] cold calling commision based [***] wipe of a job. The annoying thing is...the offices i was in was really professional and well done out, the guy had a pretty fancy setup although the receptionist area was...dodgey at best tbh, hard to bloody find, could hardly here this Danielle woman on the intercom, went up, went in, actually had a nice chat BUT STUPIDLY...didnt even ask what it was i'd actually be doing...thought i'd go on the website i few days ago but couldnt find out, but assumed it was FACE TO FACE client sales...then now just decided to type into goodle "is coralina consulting a cold calling agency" and i find this forum, thank god for that, i only went in at 1pm, and they said they'd called by 4-6pm to say if i got it or not...and they just sent me and email 35 mins saying "well done! come for a second interview!" pretty much...this made me very uncomfortable and wow...hey ho, here we go, suckered in! Doesn't help being a student looking for a first time job...[***], thank god i found out now.

AVOID THESE PLACES LIKE THE PLAGUE! CAROLINA CONSULTING AND OTHERS!

Citrus Sodding house in liverpool keep well clear...ugh...well at least this was only the 15 min interview...i mean...15 min interview LOL even i should of realised that was...odd...to begin with! Well, atleast i know now, so thanks all, it must a company that has MANY different name, watchdog save us! lol.

Excuse the typos...i think you can tell i'm rather frustrated ha. I'll live.

was at the London bridge place today, suppose to have interview at blue moon on monday, ain't goin there! waste of time, of precious time. and asking them so what we actually have to do in your company.. I guess they tell you that after brainwash. not serious. same names, same scams. read all the posts in this topic, in few years, nothing really changed!!

maybe sombd knows About sphinx solutions? didn't really found much info about them, and they just invited me a few times, but waste money to go to Chelmsford if it is a. scam.. most likely.

Thanks guys for the information!! Really useful. Face to face acquisition.... bloody hell!! what a rip off. I've been called as well to having the famous second interview. But it smelt from the beginning. The 1st interview, all [***] and they talk about how good you are going to be in 12 months...pfff. then... the website. They don't specify anything, it's very bad done and the mission statement chart.... OMG! And they're calling themselves a serious company?? I am glad I have found this forum, otherwise i could have wasted one of my days off!! The company was SSC marketing! [***]

I recently got a job doing door 2 door fundraising with a firm called Storm marketing based in Cowper Street London in the same building as Monster Marketing, Innovation Marketing and Maximus Global Direct. I knew it was commission only, long hours etc and I was willing to do it as there's no such thing as a free lunch. But my alarm bells sounded after 2 days work when people started complaining of not being paid for weeks and I also wondered to myself why are this company claiming me to be self-employed, when, at the same time they are ordering me to work to targets THEY set, hours THEY set and report to a boss at the start and end of each day.

My advice to jobseekers is DO YOUR RESEACH ON THE COMPANY before going to any interviews.

Got a call from them today for an interview this Thursday... YFR i believe. So i asked this [***] on the phone 'what's the day to day work?' and she's telling me what she just said..'the company deals with advertising, marketing etc and we will say more when you come down to the interview'. Thought it was a bit dodgy as i couldn't even remember applying to a YFR..googled them up, no info on the company, just the address on reed. Came across this forum and was so relieved i found it before i went to the interview on Thursday as I'm not even in London at the moment. There was me thinking 'what to wear, how to get down to London being skint, what to do' aha thanks guys.

Hello Guys

I wish i saw this site sooner, i went to an 'interview' from a company called Live Innovations (London Bridge shand street) same stories as what you guys have posted...

Went along yesterday to this street thats quite hidden and an office which was located in a basement, there was alot of ethnic people there (i am black) and most with not very good english, however i was interviewed by this guy called TOM, well suited and very confident, he was telling my how much i could be earning in 12 months (which is all lies) alot of cold calling he did admit to and meetin so called clients... they said they worked with charities blah blah blah... During the interview which was quite un-professional his phone went off, and he didnt have a lcue about markerting which i found odd because the job was meant to be for a marketing assistant...
Anyways I wont be wasting my time there and i hope you guys dont, they have a number of adverts on REED, TOTALJOBS,MONSTER to name a few and they are all the same, advertising a job and making money but not actually telling you what to do.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THESE GUYS... they also operate under different names like MARKETING LONDON its all the same so dont waste your time! Dont be fooled by thier website either its [***]!
