Chalk up another victim to ENEKES! (what an odd name-that alone should have tipped me off) Their web site sure is professional. Did anyone notice that they spell "Career" incorrectly? I guess those of us who need to work out of our homes (I have a disabled child) get so blind-sided that we fail to see the truth in something so obvious as this scam. I stopped short of sending money but they do have my resume and that's bad enough. Thankfully, resources like "Rip Off Report" exist to quickly expose monsters like this. And yet, after all the testimonies, they still try to inflict their evil; Frank's letter for example. Sorry if I sound naive, but "h*e do you sleep at night, Frank?"

Have you not looked at How many people got screwed over by Enekes/Hot Deals Canada. I agree with the previous comments I don't see how you got a job when plenty of people didn't. I agree this could be a coverup. Show us the legitamate aspects of the business. Show us a copy of your training manual. Show us your office not a Mail Boxes ETC. Put us in contact with an HR manager that will actually talk to us. We want details because I think we all know that they are a joke. The Police and several others have already been contacted. They are in Hot water with everyone who wants to file a class action lawsuit as well as the law.

How is it that you claim that this "company" hired you after you went there for training when the company DOES NOT EXIST? Their are not a legitimate ISP-no one has ever heard of them and they use another company to host their poorly done website that is rife with errors. Their "address" is a Mail Boxes, Etc. location, for goodness sake. Why don't you post more details about your supposed training and job with them, including just where it is your paychecks are coming from? You are obviously just one of them trying to legitimize your fraudulant actions in order to keep the scam going. Anyone with any sense at all can see it clear as day and can and should use the information on this site to avoid getting ripped off.

I really wanted to believe that this was a legit operation, but some of the red flags some of the others have mentioned got me to investigating. It seemed strange to me that trying to find "one of the top five ISP's in Canada" would be that hard. When I entered the address of the said company into Business address of the Milton yellow pages online, an excavating company came up. Long story short, I called that company to see if other establishments exisisted wthin that building, and I was told that the building was a PO box store like mailboxes etc. I figured that not to many training centers would be located at a place like that, so I never sent the money. Also, the Asian accented lady who called for the initial phone interview, is the only voice you will hear. She is customer service and HR and interviewer. Thanks to this website, my suspicions were right. I really hope that those who sent in the money to the scam-lady get her good.

A friend of mine told me to check out this website , that there was something interesting about the company I'm working for. I have to admit that I was pretty surprised! Enekes also posted an ad for a helpdesk position in the Boston Globe. I did apply for it, and did go through a phone interview. Then I received some docs similar to those reported. I filled out everything and went for training, and I am right now working from home for the past three months! I don't know about Hot Deals Canada, but Enekes gave me what they promised: a JOB! I'm going to forward this link to my manager, I don't think they should let fired employees blackmail them!
