I called the number and got some lady (I will use different names for legal purposes) named "Bunny" who told me to come to and interview at 12:30. So the next day I went in for the interview and was ask to fill out some papers. At 12:30 I was greeted by a man named "Barrett" who ask 3 of us to come in for the interview.

We all talked to him and he was really nice and very professional. I was the last to get an interview with him and he was really outspoken and funny. So he told us that he would call us for a second interview around 5 - 5:30. That night around 5-ish, I got a called from Barrett and he stated to come back in. So the next day around 12:00 we came back in, and there was about 25 people.

we did this long orientation from a man named "Cho-man-fo" for about 2 hours and we had to take notes on it. At the end a man said he was going to tell who got the job and who didn't. He was calling out names and some other guy was calling out people. At the end the was about 12 people in the room. Cho-man-fo told us that we got the job. So I was excited as h*ll, and I felt bad for the people who got called out and didn't get the job.

So the next day, I came back in and to my surprise everyone was back, I guess everyone got the job. So we had to take notes on more of this stuff. They promised us the we would be making good money managing out own building making 30,000 on contract, and that we can have our own building. They where telling us about perfumes they sold, which was a rendition of the name brands by a guy named Larry Hahn, I never heard about him.

Supposedly he was a self made millionaire, who sold this cheap stuff. I was amazed at the stuff and business. Barrett was doing the orientation and he was really hyped up. He was using worlds like "Motivation" Don't be "Negative" stay "Positive" Like some really cheesy T.V. sales guys and motivators. He was talking about how we can make good money. I was amazed to see this. Being broke and got laid off, I needed some boast and some good money to at least make a living.

The next day we did another orientation, and he said we where gonna partner up, and we went out and sold perfumes. That raised a flag, why are we gonna go out and sell stuff. We went with this guy named "Micky" and this disgusting drug dealer named "Sara Lee". It was awful,, the guy Micky was rude to people selling this crap, and Sara lee was driving like a manic. It was awful, I have more dignity then to sell this crap to people, it was not my taste, street hustler, I rather be a drug dealer then to sell this crap.

The next day, we came back and one of the mothers of one of the people there came over, yelling saying this place was a fraud, the Cops came and was talking to some people. That raised the biggest flag, Barrett was doing another lessons on the board, that when it hit me. This was a Pyramid Scheme. The Overly Active speeches, The Street Hustle with no pay roll, the brainwashing. We went out again that day to sell some more.

I told the people there that I was leaving, that this was a scam. They brainwash you, the people who been there for a while where all cracked out using lingo like "I'm being negative, be positive." Some chick was mad at one guy who left and was like "Don't spread your negativity on us!" I'd slap her if she said that to me. The hustle you for money only making 100 dollars a week, you work 6 days a week, promising good pay.

All the people working there have these delusions of grandeur saying they will make millions one day. They said the Program takes 6 to 8 weeks then you get your own building, but there are guys there saying they been there for 2 years! It's sad seeing these people have dreams when the people there are exploiting them for there own profit. They're fools. Don't go here, if it's too good to be true...well, you know the rest.
