Complaint Review: Bluko Information Group

I was hired by Bluko Information Group on July 17th, 2007 and went through a week of training in Las Vegas. I used my AMEX card to pay for my flight, hotel, car rental and meals. I worked for one week out of my home. On the Monday of my second week, I called into the weekly telesales meeting, but there was no code availablr to log in. I IM's my manager. He seemed surprised and asked if I had not receieved a call from coroporate on Friday. I said no. He seemed shocked and then told me the company was out of money and were terminaing everybody. They owed me over 1100 dollars from the week I was there training. It was made clear to me that Michael Crook absconded with over $11,000,000.00 in investor money. I have no clue where he is now, but the company is closed.

What I did find out is that when I was in Vegas for training, they were changing their name to US Paycard. A new company has been formed, and transferred all Bluko assets to US Paycard, and they are now using that name...but with a different management team. Amazing- they get their assets, but not their debts! That's OK..I have something of Bluko that is worth more than the 1100 dollars I am out.
