Was almost scammed by these pieces of s**t!! CC Marketing is a JOKE!! They had me dress up in long sleeve shirt and tie and go out in the middle of July with some Dumb A$$ trying to sell P.O.S. Disney books that, come to find out, Retail at the Disney store for $35. They were trying to pawn these off on elderly ladies to buy for "their grandkids" for $75!!!!! Then they tried to make us sell these retarded light up "wands" that made the most annoying sound in the world!! Then on the way home, the "trainer's" piece of s**t car gets a flat tire and we're stuck on the side of the 60 Freeway for 2 HOT hours! The p***k has the nerve, not to get us back to the "business" with the tow truck, but he takes us to a tire shop and makes us wait there for him to get his like '93 Saturn P.O.S. to get a new tire!! We finally got back to the place and I demanded them that they reimburse me the $10 in gas it took me to get there and I was kicked out and told "F*** OFF!!" If these d****ebags made as much money as they say, why was my trainer driving a crappier car than mine?! haha! I have no job and my car is still nicer!! LoL!! These guys should all be shot! They're scam artists and should sit in jail for a very long time!!

We'll after some success getting some ads pulled for a company, I've noticed that these people post on HotJobs. Here is an example of a post for the Riverside office: GENERAL - Assistants. No exp.: confidential Back to Results | View more jobs like this Job ID 9171445T2 Company Name confidential Job Category Other Location Riverside, CA Position Type Full-Time, Employee Experience Unspecified Date Posted April 7, 2008 GENERAL - Assistants. No exp. GENERAL - Assistants. No exp. needed, will train. Up to $500/Wk. Start immed! Please call Jessica (951) 683-4699 This is mis categorized and/or misleading. Since you sell perfume the job is in sales. Notice how the company name is 'confidential" Why? What do they have to hide? We need to take action and do more than just post our experiences on here! Write to your papers to expose them and have their ads removed.

Well Just as Everyone else was scammed so was I ! Is there anything anyone can do to stop these b*****ds. I was told i would receive weekly pay ($175 to $400) and make $30,000 $40,000 in my first year, and $50,000 to $60,000 my second year. That was all a lie and false info. Not only did I work for free basically, I was lied too, and put in danger by going to urban places to sell the knock off product. For anyone in the riverside county area be aware of the ad in the Press Interprise stating "Call Jessica general assistance needed." This was strange because the person I called ended up being a girl named Heather instead of Jessica. They change their number often too so be careful Due to the fact I was unemployed and desperatly needed a job, I ignored the second lie ! I was called for a second interview the same day, and as everyone else was stating there was loud music and so many unprofessional things wrong with the picture I didnt even stop to think. I was given a card and on the card it stated CC Marketing, which I was told was named after the owner of the office Curtis. Be aware of the contest they have you play to practice your sells skills on family and friends because they only have you do the contest to build the revenue or profit for their office. They also use the word "motivated" alot and keeping a positive, right attitude So one day I came to my so called training which dont get me wrong was very organized and interesting but I came in and there was group of people called "trainers". The trainers supposedly help you get to know what your selling so you can be confiedent with your customers or just basic people in urban parking lots. After your "trainers" are done training you, they have you sign an independant contractor agreement so if anything happens to you the company isnt responsible for it. After that you basically split up into groups and do door to door sales in parking lots. It was terrible, I was nicely dressed so I became very hot very quickly. After my second day in the parking lot I quit the job without any contact to the employer. Curse CC Marketing, Curse Heather, And Curse Curtis as well. They use riches and money to lure unemployed people to sale their whack knock off product....... My friend sold a grip of bottles and was only given a small portion of what she was said to get which was $1500 cash the next day. PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM THE PAPER WHEN IT COMES TO SEARCHING FOR A JOB. Use Yahoo, or your local job search website to find a job near you. I worked all that time marketing their product and never got paid a dime ! I was born at night but i wasnt born last nite ! !
