On 6/21/09, I received an email from 2 different people working for Independent Producers of America. They are allegedly hiring for an "account executive" position. After doing a google search, I found out that a) "account executive" is a fancy term for "sales person" and b) I did a search on this particular company and they are reported to be a scam. One report on this very web site advised that they want you to pay $350 up front for an insurance license. One person who sent me an email wanted to schedule it on a Saturday. I have never done an interview on a Saturday so I immidiately was alarmed.
Thanks for saving me the trouble of going to the interview. I now know that I don't need to because this is a company to be wary of. Before any of you out there accept or contemplate accepting a job offer from a company, do a google search and look at what warnings there are out there about the particular company. It's a pisser that you would have to do that especially in this economy. But unfortunately its a necessity.
