Advantage Promotions And Sports Marketing
This company will use their sales pitch on you with lies by ommission, they bring you to their office to make it look less suspicious in the hopes you will not check them out!

Apparently they cannot keep up with their lies. I worked for them for one week and decided not to call them after smelling a rat and finding out they were a scam. To this date (two weeks later) I have not recieve a call from them, further proof for me. Everything is generic on their forms and cards and when I asked for business cards they sent me just a few... Which was weird... Now get this I just recieved two more emails from them saying they are interested in interviewing me after reading my resume on Monster here is the exact email funny thing is I am supposedly working for them as there has not been a termination or a call (though I have quit working for them):

My name was here!
After reviewing your resume we feel as though you fit the criteria we are looking for in a local Account Executive position. We are a Sports Marketing company that works with all the local Schools and Teams in your area. We do all of their published materials including Sports Posters, Game Tickets, Programs, Banners, Websites, Coupon Books, and Schedule Cards or Pocket Schedules; what ever these teams license or contract us out to do for them. (my name was here to personalize this mass mailing), your job as an Account Executive would include maintaining relationships with local schools and teams (High Schools all the way up to the Pro's), as well as their sponsors. Sponsors would be businesses such as Bank of America, Pepsi-Cola, AT&T Wireless (just to name a few) as well as smaller "Mom and Pop" type businesses that support these local teams. The territory is local; about a 60 miles radius around the city (we pulled all the resumes from zip codes) and it is established so one would take over existing accounts. Of Course, we are always looking to grow too, so business development is fundamental to the position. We do have a base salary plus commission structure, with medical benefits and a retirement plan. So (my name was here), if this interests you please call us (do not email we have already reviewed your resume) to get more detailed information and possibly set up an interview.

Thanks, Ms. Linsey Beford

I spent money I did not have working for them more than $100.00 after being out of work... They did not even aske me one thing about my resume adfter I was told everything on it would be checked out and I would be asked questions on it. My scenario was the same as all they rest. They pray on people who need a job... This is a scam. I called the labor board in N.C. And the BBB, they had complaints with both and ironically just cleared up the ones with the BBB on the day I checked!!!

DO not be used or SNOWED these people are liars and judging from the ROCK on the SE sales managers finger they have been doing it a while. I think its all a set up to make you comfortable and them look good like a legitimate business. They did get all my contact info, my address and my bank account # which bothers me but ironically they did nto aske me to fill out and w-2's... Which means they knew they would not be paying me, also they did nto require my bank routing # which is wierd. I bet the IRS would like to know this... Maybe that will be my next call!
