Someone has send us an email and told us that our company has a bad reputation bad they are referring to Olympus Marketing and not to us it just happen that we have the same name. Pls. take note that Southeast Asia Olympus Marketing or SEA Olympus Marketing is not part or related in anyway to OLYMPUS MARKETING - QUANTUM or Olympus Marketing Group or any other Olympus Marketing name. olympus.com.ph belongs to SEA Olympus Marketing or SEA Olympus Group of companies. I am posting this to avoid confusion. Again, we are not related to the company that is being accused in scam or any other illegal activities. SEA Olympus Marketing is a supplier and distributor of composite products like resin, polycarbonate, poly urethane, spray foam. pOLYKLEAR is one of our major brand. We are also a supplier of Techni-ice, Kaeser products, compressor and other pneumatic tools.

Everything you say is true! It all happened to me in almost the exact same way, except I was too desperate for cash to see through their scheming ways and ended up working for them for a month... All the while, red flags were flying up everywhere! The most frustrating part is my mother was right: "ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT!" ...Something told me it seemed like a scam, but I ignored my instincts and failed to do proper research. I remember at one point my boyfriend joking, "Don't drink the Koolaid". How right he was... NEVER AGAIN will I allow myself to be taken advantage of! ...I am STILL (5 months later!) recovering financially from the loss I suffered while working for Olympus Marketing/Shining Tree Promotions/Quantum/whatever they're calling themselves now. I was paying more to get there and back everyday than I was making (it turns out: about $1.50 an hour)! Promises of $75,000 in 6 to 8 months and free trips to Texas kept me going for a full month, along with constant pats on the back with people telling me how great I was doing. This, combined with 16 hour days on my feet, only 20 minute lunch breaks, and inevitable sleep deprivation kept me in a constant sort-of "daze" or "mind-f***", if you will. It was only when I finally had one day off and a full night's sleep that I had the energy and where-with-all to grab a calculator, do the math, and realize I'd been HAD! PLEASE, do not even respond to the ads, DO NOT go to the interviews, and for GOD's SAKE, DON'T ACCEPT THE JOB OFFER!! ...on a lighter note, I am happy to say that I now work for Goodlife Fitness, a WONDERFUL company with strong core values that include Personal Fitness, Passion, Peak Attitude, INTEGRITY, Trust, Caring, and HAPPINESS! :)
