Harvard Risk Management virtual office -- recruiter for sales people Nationwide
I was recruited to put ads on various sites and answer the emails generated by those ads. I had a series of canned emails that was to direct these people to getting to be "sales" for HRM. In the call I had to listen to, various promises were made.
1. If I enrolled in Legal Shield, I would receive $200 per recruit.
2. I would not have to wait, it would happen immediately.
3. For each recruit, I would receive $15.00 for every sale of legal shield my recruit made. Essentially, I could work for three years then retire and live off the residuals.
4. I could access the site and see how much each of my recruits were selling at all times.
5. My commission would be put into my bank account each day.
I have worked for almost 2 months and have, to date, received nothing but snide remarks. I was told if I am so bad off, I should seek government assistance.
A. I have recuited 6 people. I have received $100 per paypal and was told it was from bosses own pocket.
B. I was told I had to wait until these people "qualify". Every day there is a new excuse.
C. I cannot access the site at all.
D. I cannot get the money owed to me at all, let alone the commission on the recruit's sale.
Please, please don't fall for this scam. I put in 20 ads per day and answered 10 resumes, at one time over 100 resumes, each day online. I have five poor people in my que right now that I need to tell this is all a lie.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Fri, October 31, 2014
I signed up to be a virtual recruiter about a month ago. I was put through the same type of call and guaranteed a bunch of benefits which never showed up, all of which were similar to the ones of the orignal poster's.
Everything seemed to be going fine at first, recieved a folder with training material, recieved a corporate e-mail, posted ads, and generated some leads. Then things started to get fishy.
I tried responding to applications from the ads that I posted on ad sites such as Craigslist through my new corporate email, but never got replies. So I tried my personal e-mail and a backup one, both of which successfully sent e-mails to a lead I had. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I just thought it was a technical issue from when I set up the corporate e-mail.
I sent an e-mail from one of my working accounts (which were personal emails) to my supervisor to notify them that my email was not sending emails that I wanted to go out. I was met with no reply, even after numerous emails from different accounts at different times. Still no reply as of almost 2 weeks later.
I'm concerned about the Legalshield plan that I purchased (which is about $40/month) which is linked to my employment at the company. Since I'm not able to send emails from my corporate email account, nor am I getting any response from 5 different people that I tried contacting, I have no way of cancelling my plan (which is set up to automatically deduct from my checking account each month).
I'm probably going to have to contact my bank as I see it as the only way to arbitrate my way out of this whole mess.
All I have to say is, AVOID HARVARD RISK MANAGEMENT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!
