Like many people on this site I was taken for a ride from the now infamous Scentura Creations Subsidary companies... NWO Enterprises.
Congradulations we'll see you on Monday" are the words that I heard in my group Interview on Thursday and I was to report to training on the following Monday @ 10:30 am. I was happy that there was still an obtainable job left in Arizona and that the pay and the hours seem to be decent as well. HA!
I came to find out like everyone else that fell victim to this scam that this company was basically exploiting people to use their family and friends to buy what they call rendition scents. Ah, but that was only the first day. The second day of training is much more exciting... Now they were asking me to pretend to be a person named LU-LU whom they explained was a flirtatios girl who basically will use her body and flirting to make a sale. Hmmmm... Sounds as though I am a low grade hooker. They asked the men in the class to pretend to be Rico, as in the man equivilant to Lu-Lu... I must say this company doesn't discriminate they will encourage a man and woman alike to sell themselves... So-to-speak in order to get a sale.
But this isn't the bad part. The bad part is that on the first day of training Curtis Simmons tells us to write this down in our note books, "You will be paid $300.00 cash a week for training plus bonuses and incentives" Awesome right? Not exactly because when payday (apparently Saturday) starts to roll around Curtis explains that the first Saturday for new trainees is not payday but rather they must be employed for 7 days to get paid. Okay so that means our second Saturday with the company we will receive $600.00 dollars. I even face to face asked him this outside at break in front of many witnesses where he responded "YES"
Of course you know what comes next. I start to hear rumours that people have never been paid and they've been there for 10 to 12 weeks! They are so poor that they are shacked 5 deep in one apartment according to another employee who happens to own that very apartment. Obviously concerned but also wanting to approach this the right way I went home leaving the impression that I was happy and grateful for what they so often call "MY OPPURTUNITY".
I went home and did some research on NWO, I got nothing. Next I searched for Scentura Creations and bingo I hit the jackpot. I found usacomplaints.com with dozens of other complaints about Scentura and thier Sub-Contracted companies.
My next move was to call my local police station and news station. I am still waiting to get them exposed through the media. But I had the cops escort me to the office where I confronted Curtis and of course he denied everything and said he told us that we could make 300 in bonuses. Another truck full of lies from the mother of them all Scentura Creations.
The cops couldn't do much to get my money but I did file a civil suit today 3/31/05 which is the day after my research and the day of my confrontation with Curtis Simmons.
I am contacting the IRS as my next step because the whole nationwide scheme operates in cash and pays no taxes.
I am leaving out all the other things that everyone else said their reports because it is the same. The FFAAR, the lies, the music, the foul lnguage, and so on and so forth. Please email me if you would like to join my effort in suing this company into bankruptcy.
