Mark Braun Viacom - Advertize Amerika - Biz Magik Inc False management position promised West Palm Beach, Florida
Caution scam scam scam
Do not be loured in to a supposedly management position with this individual or company. He is a parasite that works off of individuals who are in need of an income. Here's the scam:
He runs an ad in Craigslist looking for executive managers wanting to make between $50,000-$70,000 annually. When you apply, he doesn't even look at your resume. All he is looking for is about eight warm bodies he can stick in a shared office environment. The pitch is, he has a new product that is patent pending that will revolutionize the advertising industry. Once you get past the first interview and come back for the second, you will find out that his supposed patent pending product is actually a refrigerator magnet that he cuts out ads from magazines, arranges, pastes together with glue in flashy positions, and snaps with his iPhone. (I'm not kidding here!) What he attempts to do is to sell this magnet to multiple full-page advertisers in industry segmented areas. All the executive manager has to do is to call each company that runs a full-page ad in a magazine and find who can authorize use of their corporate logo. Once the executive gets that information, a canned e-mail is sent to that individual. In the e-mail it says that their company has been awarded this offering which will be sent to 100,000 subscribers of that particular magazine. Everything is free except for six cents per mailer to cover a percentage of the postal cost. The concept is to gather multiple companies onto a magnet at $6000 each for branding their information on 100,000 refrigerators.
Here's the problem, when you come in for employment you are told that your salary is determined by how fast you comprehend the concept. If at three weeks you get it, your salary is $70,000 annually. If in four weeks you get it, your salary is $60,000 annually. And if it takes you five weeks, your salary is $50,000 annually. OR..... you can make $1000 per sale of every $6000 sale. You are requested to be in the office, remember a shared office environment, every morning from 9:30 till one o'clock in the afternoon. During this time you are supposedly being trained. In all reality you set and listen to how wonderful and successful he has been in his lifetime. Also you watch him cut out pictures, paste together graphics and snap pictures on his iPhone to be part of the e-mail pitches sent to advertisers. His repetition is never ending and progress is never made. His e-mail pitch to the advertisers is blunt, in-your-face, non-informative, deceptive, and vague to say the least. After one day, any person with a pulse could get the concept. Advertisers are curious over the prospect once his e-mail is revised to reflect the concept.
When questioning him about pay, he tells you that because of Florida law, your first paycheck actually comes after your first three weeks of work. At that point you get one weeks worth of pay because he is holding two weeks pay for your future two week notice. So in all reality, he has no capital, no structure, and no sales, for his supposedly patent pending super magnet which BTW is funded by Viacom, the media giant. It all came to a head when one girl who worked there for three weeks was due for pay and did not get it. He runs through people like water. As of the date of this posting he is on his third set of posted executives and his multimillion dollar enterprise. He even uses Viacom name but tweaks it with the Secretary of State.
This man is an extreme loose cannon. He is verbally abusive, sexist, and degrading. I could go on with numerous instances of his insane responses but I will limit this posting by saying......... in no way get involved with this man. ALSO, this guy posts negative information on his self so he can convince people who are applying that he was the person doing so. Don't believe me......ask for compensation in writing!
