Thank you Author: Disgusted for your rebuttal posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2011
I too am quite upset that Rip-Off publishes any and all comments from any Tom, d**k and Harry who want to complain, yet I respect their right to do so. This forum is for people who have had some type of complaint and want to post their concerns. I however believe that anyone that has objections to the posts when they know them to be correct should stand up and vehemently defend their company as I too am attempting to do today.
Independent Representatives acquire customers and business partners. The fact that these two reps might have gone about customer acquisition by way of advertising isn't dishonest, it's just another form of exposing their business. This in no way shape or form reflects on the validity of the 5LINX Ent. Each representative is governed by strict policies and procedures and by reading the post, no rules were broken.
I am however, completely mystified as to why a person would leave debit card information if there was no interest in the company and furthermore they felt as though they were being deceived?? Sounds more like he decided that the opportunity wasn't for him, which is ok. But to blame the company for how he got to the presentation was completely his choice and his decision to stay or leave was also completely up to him. I think this website should be reserved for REAL LEGITIMATE concerns of companies taking people's money out of their account without written or expressed permission or not delivering goods, products or services promised especially after repeated requests. Not some job seeker who didn't like how he responded to a request and then blames the corporate company for his decision to respond to that request. How in the world is that a reflection on 5LINX???

Regarding the Brad/Malika complaint- I agree that the ad put out in Craigslist might have been misleading especially if it sounded like it was a job offer. But when the presentation was going on, the respondent should have just stopped it and said it was not what he was looking for. And why would he give his debit card number when he was not interested in the business opportunity? He was dumb enough to fall for the ultimate closing technique and he bit.
And now he blames 5linx ??
FYI, 5Linx is an INC 500 company and has been in that top 500 list for 4 consecutive years. Some of the big companies that are now publicly traded made that list when they were private only once.
And 5Linx does give away BMWs and Bentleys... No , they are not leased. They are in the names of the recepients and the company gives them $800/mo for the BMW payment and $4000/mo for the Bentley payment. A friend of mine in the business who was a sushi chef 3 years ago was awarded his Bentley in March 2011. Check out this video for proof : http://youtu.be/fZaqtf1oWGw
