Breakthrough Advertising - Granton Marketing Is A Scam. RIPOFF If you enjoy bering lied to, having your basepay withheld, by all means work for Breakthrough Advertising Granton Marketing!! Maitland Florida
I left in the middle of a road trip on Friday morning at 3 am from Miami. I could'nt sleep, I had a bad feeling about what I was doing. Or rather what was being done to me.
I was with Breakthrough Advertising/Granton Marketing for 3 weeks and I have not yet been paid. I had an agreement with my boss, Richard Patterson, about having a base salary. It took me two weeks just to get $82.00 from him, and in fact, he owes me $350.00 more.
The supposed opportunity can be blinding, and very tempting. But like it was described to me "it's all of the sizzle, none of the bacon." If your into long hours, lies and no money, high miles put on your car then go ahead.
This place preys on naive, young souls who don't see the veil over their eyes, just the metaphorical pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Nothing is worth your sanity. You can do better.
I suggest running like hell.
I got a AWESOME job today at a Fourtune 500 company. I have bene's and a real salary. And, no, it's not a job with my name on my shirt.

I had my secong "interview" today, of course they asked me to jump onboard, but the whole time i felt that something was way off with this "company" and i just knew it in my gut that it was a scheme. Then again you can't just walk away from the only job you have in your hand because of a hunch...still i didn't trust it and decided to do my research, found tons of scams just like this one, and your post about Richard Patterson (the man who interviewd me) it was all i needed to save me from jumping in the deep end. Thank you so much for your post! Sincerely.

I received the following email yesterday... Dear Lori Ann, Last we spoke on Friday, when you were supposedly getting your tooth pulled, everything was fine. Either way, you had $122 in security, in which $82 was given to you before the road trip down South - which left you with $40 in security. I am doing paperwork now from that road trip and you only put $10 in security for a credit card. Now, that leaves you with $50. I am adding an additional $200 that I guaranteed you, which I can now say I regret. It will be sent out this Friday to the address provided. Thanks Richard Patterson Breakthrough Advertising, Inc. 407-788-2100 I wrote him back..... Dear Rich, I did have a appointment with my dentist, Dr. Harezi, in Jacksonville on Friday. I walked out knowing that I had to have a root canal, a new bridge and a tooth pulled. And by Sunday. I had a bill for $2,000 dollars, no health insurance, no way to pay rent, or my car payment and no money to make it back down to Miami. I told you UPFRONT that I was nervous about getting into this with no base salary. You KNEW that. I need security, I need health insurance. Most people do. I think what you're doing is brave, courageous, and ballsy. Most people would never have the guts to follw through with this. Myself included. I wish you the best in your business. I think that your an amazing leader/speaker/thinker. This just is'nt for me. I'm sorry you regret hiring me. Best of Luck in your New Year, Lori Ann
