Grey Marketing Team possible new scam Ripoff New York New York
A company called Grey Marketing Team has been
sending out emails for the past week saying they all different types of jobs to fill that sound too good to be true.
A blog describes the red flags:
"Yesterday, a "recruiter" from a company called Grey Marketing (not to be confused with Grey Direct Marketing) e-mailed me about an Assistant Financial Analyst position. I quickly realized that this "opportunity" had all the warning signs of a scam operation. Specifically:
- No phone # was listed on the company's website (greymarketingteam.com).
- None of the posted job opportunities specified a location.
- There were no principal executive names listed on the website.
- The online application offered the option of free information about educational opportunities (typically, a big red flag).
- A specific starting salary was provided in the initial e-mail.
- The web content was full of grammar and punctuation errors.
- A Google search on the company returned no results.
I have no way of verifying whether this is a scam, but I thought I'd share this information in case anyone else has come across the same thing."
If they contact you be very wary.

Grey Marketing/Albert & Alexander Associates ripoff being run by a career assessment & career advancement services company.

This is a follow-up to Stuart's report of Grey Marketing. I had the same thing happen to me. I think that it is being run by a career assessment & career advancement services company. I filled out the forms on the Grey Marketing website (greymarketingteam.com), very skeptical of it. I ran a search on Grey Marketing and there were a LOT of things that didn't add up ... no phone number, no suite number, chose a famous new york skyscraper as the address, etc. There was a career assessment survey on the Grey Marketing website, stating that they had contracted with a national career assessment firm for a free career assessment. ut of the blue, Albert & Alexander Associates contacted me. I went there for an initial consultation and was told that I was contacted by them because I didn't quite fit another client's needs. I was asked if I knew who that was, but didn't mention Grey Marketing because I had already figured out that Grey Marketing was a scam. I am almost 100% positive that this phony website was set up by Albert & Alexander because I was not in an aggressive job seeking mode and did not apply to any company other than Grey Marketing that would have forwarded my information to a career assessment firm.
