Scentura Creations ripoff when you are looking for a job, watch out for the SCAMMERS Chicago Illinois
i was of course looking online for a job. i saw a headline, NEED 30 PEOPLE NOW!!!!!!!!!! no exp necessary... when i talk to the receptionist, she told me to come in the next day for an interview. when i got there, there were about 5 other people. the person that interviewed me was Tamera.
she had me and 2 other people in the room. after she asked me the questions she wanted to know, she said to call at 5:00pm that night to find out if i was picked. i called and of course i was picked. they started telling me that i didn't have to sell anything and i was training to become a manger of that office. they also ordered 20 dollars from me because they had to do a background check. now that i realize now, it takes longer than 1 hr to do a background check on a person. they told us they were going to vegas.
when a friend looked up the info on the internet, she called the hotels that they were saying they were staying, but the hotels didn't know anything about them. the officer owner name was JOSIE. she didn't enev carry herself as a business woman. she said all types of swear words. they even told us that they were apart of the better business bureau. that would make the BBB a fraud also, if they were apart of them. that's not all, but you understand what happened. i just want people to see, that when your looking for a job, watch out for the SCAMMERS (SCENTURA CREATION). THEY ARE A RIP OFF AND LIARS....
thank you for listening .........

Hey Tamearly,
I hope that this message finds you in good spirit. I am really sorry to hear about your situation. Your situation regarding this fraudulent company and their offer is the clear epitome of a scam.
Never ever pay a company a fee for employment. No legitimate company would ever charge a fee for employment. Do you remember the last time an employer charged you a fee for hiring you and placing you on the company payroll?
Automatically assume, that any and all businesses that charge a fee of any kind is a scam, because they are. Background checks are the responsibility of the employer, not the new hire. Also, any and all "home-based businesses" that charge a fee over and above the cost of the materials they send out is a scam.
If a company honestly believes without a doubt that what they're offering is legitimate, they would definitely not find a need to profit from the sales of their program. You know which ones I'm talking about. The ones that are supposedely in the business of selling "information". That's what bookstores and the Internet are for. LOL
If you ever happen to stumble across a supposed "employement agency", and they request fees up front, immediately stand up and leave the establishment. Any and all legitimate "agencies" whether it be employment, modeling, etc, etc, would definitely not find it necessary to collect their agency fees up front.
Take for example a modeling agency. If a modeling agency is legitimate and is willing and able to live up to their claims, it would have no problem collecting their agency fees from a clients royalties, future commissions, risidual endorsements, etc, etc.
Companies that require an up front fee of any kind, are fraudulent, in that they believe they are entitled to someones investment, regardless of whether or not, they live up to any of their fraudulent claims...and believe me, they will pursue it, for that's the only reason they ask for it in the first place. SCAM!!
Until next time, take care cause I care, Aloha from Hawaii and God Bless.
P.S. I can't wait until the inevidable day a fraudulent business stiffs the wrong person. Believe me, it's just a matter of time.
