I wished I read Eduardo's posting prior to showing up for Future Horizon's bogus Job Interview. There's two hours from my life I wish I could have taken back. On top of that they weren't even able to validate my parking! On the brighter side, I am now well aware of this new breed of MLM scam, which found an innovative way of incorporating their sales pitch right into the company's introduction and overview. For that I give them credit. One of the things that tipped me off was the fact that Kevin Trudeau's name was brought up as a reference in pointing out the benefits of natural cures (Yeah - the book that was banned by the government). Of course that name is now synonymous with all sorts of telemarketing scams imaginable. I would imagine that most people sat through the whole presentation because that's the only way to get to the interview. But the real kicker here is that there is NO interview. There's only a pitch to sell you the $45.00 starter kit. And for quality assurance, they even threw in a plant in the audience who waited eagerly beside me to pay her $45.00. As the presenter had mentioned there are three groups of people: First Group - Those that already decided this isn't for them and wants to leave, Second Group those that are excited but doubtful, and the Third are those that are excited and want to signup now. I think what the presenter failed to take into account is the possibility of a Fourth Group: That is those that caught on to the scam and want to observe purely for research purposes.
I hope this helps someone from being suckered into this terrible scam.
