I answered an ad in Monster.com for a management position. Nick Anthony called me and offered me a job as a manager and a potential $60,000 a year position with Play to Win Sports.
I was to start off by promoting Play to Win Sports with flyers (actually small bookmarks) to sports stores, sports bars, college campuses etc. I would just have to pay $25.00 to $40.00 for these flyers/bookmarks to promote the site with and I would get my money back.
The catch was that actually I had to order 8000 of these and that I was billed up front on my credit card a total of $1920.00. I was never told that I would be paying $1920.00 to go to work for Play to Win Sports. Nick Anthony never told me I would be billed up front for 8000 flyers/bookmarks to the total of $1920.00.
I put the dispute to my credit card immediately and they went to work. However Nick Anthony and Play to Win Sports had tape recorded the conversation and sent a transcript to my credit card company. Funny thing is, in the transcript there is only his question and my answer "yes". All of my questions and comments are conviently deleted. They just reported the text book answers of yes to each question which makes it look like I knew I would be billed $1920.00 to go to work for Play to Win Sports.
My credit card company dropped the dispute with the evidence from Play to Win Sports produced. I called my credit card company and told them the transcript was not legitimate and that Nick and I had talked and that he said he would pay the interest on my credit card bill if I would just put out those flyers. Funny thing again though as I talked with my credit card company again. Nick would not be able to calculate the interest he would owe me as he would not know the balance or the interest rate. Based on my new information the credit card company is once again disputing the charge.
Play to Win Sports is not offering jobs. They are stealing your money. They are listed as a bad company with the Better Business Bureau.
Watch out for Play to Win Sports.
