Phoenix Executive Group Phoenix Executive Group ripping off the unemployed. Its own Users group exposes the scanning scum ripoff Iselin New Jersey
I first ran into the Phoenix Executive Group after I lost my job to off shore outsourcing in 2003. At a job fare, I had the worst misfortune to run into Phoenix Executive Group posing as an employment agency with a big banner advertising Professional and Executive Positions $55,000 - $250,000. I handed in my resume and got a call next day asking me to go in for an interview. The woman claimed PEG wouldn't just take on everybody and they wanted to screen to see if I would qualify for their selective clientele. Off cause, I tried to be qualified and got the interview. The interview was by design misleading and deceptive. The counselor lied through his teeth made and promises that PEG had no intention to deliver. He claimed that PEG had direct contacts with hiring managers and decision makers who send their opening positions to PEG to fill, that PEG had the experts to help me get you that desirable position in the hidden job market. He presented various cases of how PEG placed the client who came to PEG because he was board with his job and kept on turning down offers found by PEG and how one client, who had two offers at the same time, turned down the better offer because he did not want to be associated with certain products. Only after two hours of this kind of wonderful presentation, did he tell me that PEG was not an employment agency and there would be a fee for their service. He claimed that PEG's success rate to place their clients was 95% and he was confident that PEG would find me a good job in two a couple of months. I signed a contract with PEG to help me find a job which would pay $10,000 a year with one time a sign-on bonus of $7,000. The charge for their service was more than $6,000. He claimed that PEG usually finds their client jobs in two or three months. Their clients usually put the charges on the credit card and just pay the monthly minimum. After two or three payments, they would pay off the balance with the sing-on bonus when they got jobs. On my first meeting with my advisor who was supposed to help find me a job, I was asked to sign an evaluation sheet which denied all the wonderful claims from the first two meetings, the claim for which the client sign and paid thousands of dollars. It even states that PEG would not even guarantee to provide any leads. I would not sign it and tried to back out of the deal but was told that I had signed the contract and couldn't. The service from PEG was completely a waste of time. The advisor's work was full of errors. We spent almost all the time going through the 107 trick questions for interview and little time on looking for a job. PEG never provided any leads say nothing about an interview or offer. I never got any reply from the resume mailing PEG claimed to have sent out for me. After five month, PEG stopped the weekly meeting.
You found this page. Most likely, you want to find some info on Phoenix Executive Group. Probably you just had your interview with PEG and want to find out if the wonderful stuff the PEG counselor presented is going to be true. Well you are much luckier than me. I did not find anything on PEG through Google.com before I signed up with PEG. I have read all the posting on PEG on this site. I basically have gone through every bit of it. Many people would say this is the only one or two case. If you have interview with PEG and trying to find the truth, you must go to the PEG User Group on Yahoo and see what the PEG clients say about the service they are receiving from PEG. This is a site set up by the client of PEG to share their experience. Many got scammed and lost their last savings. DO NOT make sign up until you see what the current PEG clients say about PEG.

#3Consumer Suggestion
Sun, January 16, 2005
I take these scams very personal. So I hope this helps you all out. But I have to tell you, for the suggestions I am abt to forward to you, they must be followed with FULL TENACITY!! If you really want to help get your money back and/or bring them to justice, NEVER GIVE UP and make it a mission!
These procedures below were followed with a company called Harvard Professional Group. You can find all of the postings on ripoffreport.com and the procedures are also found under the 10-23-04 posting under the Harvard Professional Group listing. Read them and educate yourself with what works to get your money back! This forum and following all of the procedures will hopefully guarantee or more of your money returned and bring these scam artists to justice.
You NEED to act NOW if you really want your money back. If you all plan to get together, and set a Class Action Suit, or take them to Small Claims Court, make sure you just don't place Phoenix Executive Group on the suit. Place all that you dealt with and the President! It is never too late! So go after them and don't stop!
Read the following
A group of individuals were successful to gather a team and combined their forces(all thanks to this website and through email). They succeeded in many ways which also includes their money returned. They even had Harvard Professional exposed on UPN 9 news Early December of 2004 and have them on camera deceiving prospective clients. HPG seems to be no longer in business and Robele has claimed Bankruptcy too (see postings on this website).
I encourage you all to contact one another and hit them all at once as a team as these individuals have. FOLLOW the PROCEDURES if you truly want your money back and to bring them to justice!
I highly suggest that anyone who has experienced the same, to contact the BBB. This cheating company will have 30 days to respond (they will take the full time) and the BBB will send you the letter that this company sent them trying to justify themselves.
Once you get their poor response letter, you have only 10 days to send them another letter stating that you are not satisfied with their response and that this company has deceived you and you want your money returned because of their deception and false promises (send it certified, or signature required like a return receipt). You will need to go through this 3 times before the BBB will send you a letter to contact the NJ division of Consumer affairs and leave this complaint unresolved (you do not have to wait for the BBB to suggest for you to contact the NJ Dept. of Consumer Affairs, & NJ Attorney General, so do it ASAP).
The BBB needs atleast 3 active unresolved complaints (the complaints have to go through this entire process). This will then force the BBB to change their rating. STAY on top of the BBB!!! In addition to that contact the media, like NY Times, Star Ledger, NY Post, Fox 5 news, ABC news, etc.. as they have programs like Shame on You. Bad publicity is no good for their type of business and especially on the BBB website when they have an abundance of complaints.
In addition to that, try to get pictures of them displayed throughout the media and any other ways to make it more challenging for them to try this again with another type of business.
There is no guarantee they will give you back your hard earned money, that they had to lie to steal from you, but this will hopefully disrupt their scam and the authorities will get involved.
Don't forget to also submit a form to the FTC
https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs
1-800-242-5846
visit: www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov
e-mail: askconsumeraffairs@lps.state.nj.us
Here is a link to the FBI in which they call what these companies do as FRAUD! Here is the link to fill out the FORM. This is a long and detailed form. However, FILL IT OUT to the best of your knowledge.

I hope this helps and I hope you follow the suggestions.
NEVER GIVE UP and you shall prevail. DO IT AS A TEAM AND YOU WILL GET BETTER RESULTS.

Untrue - May not even be our client

In all deference to Liheh, we show no client of that name from Middlesex, NJ.
PEG NEVER stops meeting with a client, unless the client does not want to come in. We would never promise a job at $10,000 per year with a sign on bonus of $7,000. We tell clients before they contract our services we are not an employment agency and we do not provide placement. I don't know who this person is, but from the facts presented it does not sound like one of our clients. There is information all over the web about us, nobody should have any problem finding out what we do or if we are legitimate.
