Complaint Review: Advanced Safety Solutions

I understand what everyone is going through! The embarassment that we face when we see our family, friends, loved ones that only wanted to help us with what we seemed so passionate about. Begging all of these people to buy extinguishers, creating a need and letting them know how these extinguishers were better than the others in the market!

I was first skeptical about this company, I looked up there information in the website, advancesafetysolutions.biz and nothing came up. I even showed my family and thought that I was getting into a company that was going to be a very big HIT! I told my family that this company would probably even be bigger than ---!

Even though I was making only ten percent of most of the product I bought, I really thought that they were on a brink of something new. The other manager/trainees thought the same. I learned the phone script, the orientation, which I still remember after almost a year by heart. Whenever I didn't hit a goal in order to go to "accelerated meetings", Mr. M would call me and tell me that I didn't have to sell the full amount, but if I could sell half of it then I would be able to make it.

Living on unemployment checks,with a husband and a newborn baby, I kept praying to myself that if I worked hard now that it would pay off later even though I was barely surviving. My family told me to stop but I just wanted to keep on going. I met Jaimie Jenkins, who was also my age, a college graduate and was a manager. He said that he had been through what I went through and that I would make a great manager.

They held wild parties where strippers would attend. They had Halloween parties where they made the young manager trainees do stupid things for cash. Mr. M would say, now, where are you going to go to work at a company that pays for strippers at a party? Mr. M seemed to have all of the comebacks. Seeing him as a small person made me really respect him. Even though he was a small guy he was such a smart man who had I thought accomplished so much. I really trusted and believed in him. Little did I know that he was a crook. Had I known that his name was actually Mark Mingolo, I would've probably not fallen into this scheme. Instead, he goes around telling the whole office that his name is Mark Anthony, and I looked it up on the internet but I found nothing.

Mike Jenkins, when I met him was also a "so-called manager trainee" who was just getting his bronze pin to be manager. The twins just seemed like they could be your typical goofy friendly neighbor.

After being with the company for two months and seeing nothing, I almost quit but then EDS came up. It was an accelerated program for manager/trainees. We would go to New York, be on a ten day schedule and after the ten days then we would have our offices. Went to New York, I think it was probably New Jersey, a HOliday Inn, female and male strippers came, went out to New York City, played lazer tag. Learned the same thing at EDS I had learned the past two months. Met Mr. Mac, Timothy Mac, an African American man who like Mr. M, was fast, witty, charming, and respectable. He said that he grew up dirty poor and now he was driving a brand new jaguar. Well, Mr. Mac taught us the same things that we already knew about.

We already had to sell $750.00 worth and didn't think that we would have to sell anything else. Mr. Mac gave us the EDS schedule that we were supposed to be on. He gave us goals that we had to hit. Our first goal was $500.00. Even after some of the people sold, most likely bought their way through EDS, selling close to $5,000 worth, they still didn't get their offices. Instead, Mr. Mac came back to hold another EDS to the new innocent manager trainees. He told the others who already completed the EDS that they would have to sell more.

The manager trainees are always fooled into believing that they're going to have their office soon. Just one more goal to hit! Yes, one more goal to fatten Mr.M, Jaimie's, Mike, and Mr. Mac's pocket. They brainwashed me into trusting them, believing in the company. I thought Halon X was the next big thing! I just want to apologize to all of the innocent people that I sold products to. I am so humiliated and will never forget about these disgusting people! What goes around comes around. To all of the innocent people who wasted their time, money, and energy, Just please don't let them get to you. Just think of it as a lesson learned in life. An obstacle that you have overcome. Life is too prescious and enjoy it! It was tought for me in the beginning to get over it in the beginning but I did. Now they are finally getting what they deserve! Thank You GOD for responding to my prayers.

Decieved, Humiliated, Betrayed, but now I FORGIVE
