Prior to googling this company I responded to an email from Jeff McQuillen, stated HR Director of Mike Marketing, LLC. After submitting my benign information on their "application" page I started snooping around the internet to find more on the company. From google maps I found their stated physical address to be in the middle of a street in a residential neighborhood in Dallas, not the metropolitan area they claim to inhabit on their site. I then searched for record of Mike Nichols (supposed owner/creator of the company) on many of the non-profit boards stated in his profile, also came up with nothing.
Clearly this is a fraudulent company. Below is the email they sent me. I hope you read this prior to responding unlike myself:
