Similar to source marketing direct, I've heard of someone applied for a job doing some sort of retail based work, they heard back almost immediately from a friendly sounding receptionist asking for my to come in for my interview.

However you get to the interview and it isn't entirely what you anticipated.I discovered with these sort of scams there is usually a three day interview process, day one will be a brief few questions where you meet a 'high flyer' (someone in management) and they ask you when you're available to start. As a young, somewhat understandably naive person, you say immediately. They then offer you a job and you come in for an 'observation day' the next day, during which you shadow another 'high flyer' (who'd be flying a tad lower than the man/woman who interviewed you initially) and spend the day doing street sales for some [unrelated] company followed by an interview at the end of the day from another member of management who tells you that you've done really well and can start the following day.

You are only paid commission and have to get as many sign ups as you possibly can. They also stress a route to management and say that you will earn a practically unlimited amount of money upon receiving the title of 'manager'/'regional manager'. You're also self employed, but have to work long, grueling hours and commit to spending 7 days a week working for these companies.
I am really really interested to speak to people who have worked for these companies and try to gather some information about if the people who work there have actually earned the lucrative amounts they claim to have (in excess of £1,000.00 a week). Something doesn't add up about them.

I want to see if anyone has had any experiences similar? I am doing a project into this and appreciate all the help I can get. If you can drop me an email if you've worked for a company like this or even the one mentioned then please let me know ([email protected]). We can work together to expose these scams.

Thanks
