=============================================

I called 800-306-1096 on 11/27/07. I spoke to a gentleman named JASON, who told me that I would need to make an initial payment of $39 which would pay for materials to help get me started that would arrive in the mail shortly. I gave him credit card info and then he immediately started selling me on several $1 each bonus offer type stuff that he said I really needed...he talked very quickly and the information sounded too generic. He started sidestepping questions and cutting me off and I got a bad feeling so I asked him to cancel everything. He said it was a free trial and I could get my money back if I wasn't happy...at this point it didn't sound anything like what the advertisement offered! I told him point blank to cancel everything right now and He said he could not do that once the order was placed. I asked for a manager and he said none was currently available. I hung up and called back immediately and spoke with a girl and asked her to cancel everything, she said she cancelled all the $1 materials but she could not cancel the $39 order because it was against company policy.

I am simply dumbfounded a seemingly legitimate company would practice business this way. This sounds like a hard-selling, fast-talking scam company and I highly recommend interested extras beware -- this company calculatedly MISREPRESENTS. Apparently it costs money to apply for a job these days.
