Just read the reports on this bunch this morning, but I didn't fall for it.
I had exactly the same experience as the others reporting this bunch here in Ann Arbor yesterday, nearly to the letter. I interviewed for the same office manager position, saw the very same demonstration with the halon extinguisher in the tin pie plate, was offered my choice of cities, told I'd be meeting the president, told I'd be making $4000 a month, etc.
The difference here is that they wanted $165 deposit for the sales kit, so they are getting greedier.
When I was told I had the job I was very happy, until I started thinking it all over.
At no point was I asked for valid identification, a resume, or references. Then there was the money up front thing. I've learned the hard way that any job that requires YOU to pay THEM as a condition of employment is a scam, plain and simple.
I was to attend my first "training" session tomorrow at 3:00, but obviously I won't be going.
The man who interviewed me used the name Jason Arbogast, and their office is at 3131 S. State St.in Ann Arbor, office 19. On his business card is AJR & Associates, a division of Safety Technologies.
Jason and his ebullient secretary were the only people there in a cheaply furnished office suite. They had a map of the U.S. On the wall with colored push-pins all over the place, a couple hundred of them at least in three different colors. I was told what the colors meant, that some were offices established, others were offices they were just opening, and others places they wanted to open offices.
Their office phone here is (734) 622-8377, and Jason's cell phone is (734) 345-1871.
Jason looks to be in his 30's, stocky, about 6' and 220 lbs. Having a goatee and moustache.
Misty's report exactly matched the scam that they presented to me, and clearly this bunch is organized and working the scam all over the country.
