This is my story. I found a flyer that reads Part Time Cash Earn up to $1500 a month no experience necessary. As soon as I read it I knew it was a scam, but decided to call the phone number listed (513-342-2764), to find out what it was about. The girl who answered said they are looking for Customer Service Representatives for a company that sells health products. She didn't give me neither the company name nor any other kind of information. She just said it was a great opportunity. I was curious and met with her the next day. The meeting took place at the following address 245 Northland Blvd, Cincinnati, OH 45246 (Suite B). When I arrived, I knew something was up. There were a few more people and they made us watch a video about Symmetry Direct and how wonderful its products are supposed to be, moreover how I can become a millionaire by selling them. As soon as the video was over the same girl approached me aggressively, trying to make me buy the basic package so you I can start my own business (The package is $163) I told her I won't give you my Credit Card because I need to find out if this is real, she said you can do it through our website if you feel more comfortable or you can pay in cash how much money you have with you right now? It was obvious it is a scam, but I wanted to play with her a little bit longer so I could find out more about it. I told her I will go home and research on-line about this company, if this is real I will contact you. She said: that's fine, but for right now can you make a list of all your potential customers, including names, telephone number, etc. I told her I don't know any number of the top of my head and I don't have my cell phone with me. I could see in her face how scared she was she knew, that I knew it was a scam. I told her, I am leaving right now but will contact you once I do my research.
I didn't lose any money, I knew it wasn't real from the moment I talked to her (it sounded too good to be true). I was curious, and that is the reason why I went there. Fortunately, I have a good job, but I know there are a lot of people out there looking for a job and get caught in something like this. Don't waste your time if you get a call from somebody who doesn't say the name of the company they represent, or if you find an ad with a job offer that sounds too good to be true don't even bother talking to them it is for sure a scam!
