Point Marketing Group - Anthony-Tony Wyss - Cause Marketing Solutions Door to Door Sales ripoff Atlanta Georgia
I moved from Hattiesburg, Mississippi to work for Point Marketing Group claiming that you would pay 400/wk for training. Anthony Wyss knew I was moving from out of state to work for the company-perfect candidate to rip off. I was immediately hired after the day of observation(12/13/0 which was from 11am-8pm. The day of observation consisted of me being observed and observing the exact nature of the job which is door to door sales. During lunch, I had to asked questions to get answers. I shadowed Xavier Moore. Nothing was told to me-salary, etc. I had to ask everything. I started Monday the week before Christmas. Even though we start at 10 and stop at 8pm, I didn't get out of the office earlier than 9pm since we were traveling out of town-Sandy Springs to areas like Athens, etc. I didn't drive my vehicle-Thank God-since I had all my belongings in my car. I wanted to take a day off of work to look for a place but was immediately talked out of it by Xavier Moore-my team leader. I didn't work Saturday and Sunday is our day off. I asked Saturday if I could come by to get my check. Tony told to come in Wednesday to get my check, he was at the airport during the time I called (Monday and Tuesday we were off for the Christmas break).I went and asked Tony Wednesday for my check. He told me Wednesday was the day his employees tell him to write them a check for Friday-the day he writes checks. Friday (12/29/06) came and Tony had ever excuse you can imagine not to pay me. He even brought up irrelevant issues such as my attitude and that's why I wasn't doing well which didn't have to do with anything about paying me. I sold coupon books my first week and second week. I called the police and Tony gave me more information such as his last name and his boss-Kevin Siebert (in Chicago) phone number. I called Kevin around 6pm and he told me that I would have my check by Wednesday (1/3/07). I still don't have a place to stay and I still don't have my check.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Sat, January 13, 2007
I moved to Atlanta, Georgia looking for new careers with my friend Austin. I posted resumes on different job posting sites. On Dec 6th I checked my e-mailed and received from Point Marketing Group. So I tell my friend Austin we drive 3 hours for my first interview. Tony seemed to be a nice person at the start honest and upfront so I thought. I asked him if it was door-to-door sales he denied to answer my Question. So we continued the interview and he asked me when can I start and I told him Monday so that way I would have three days to find a apartment here in Georgia since he saying I make $400 week plus commission sounds awesome to me. So the following Monday I come to work with a positive attitude and drop about 4 books, so I'm thinking great my first day at work. Then later on that week I begin to realize that I haven't filled out any type of paperwork for 1099's or anything that pertains to government and or state. So the following day I asked Tony what's up with no paper work so he proceed with the answer you are your own Independent Contract and you are responsible for your own wages so I said okay. Anyways after working three weeks with Point Marketing Group/ Cause Solutions I only was paid $118. My last week at Point Marketing Group I asked Tony where was my pay which was the week before Christmas, he responded. "Come back Monday and I'll give you your check." Okay that's some what of a problem but I'll get it Monday I said. Monday night comes and I go to get my check from Tony, amount of the check $1,500.00 for two weeks of pay plus commission. Tuesday I'm at the office waiting for work to start and I decide to go to the bank to cash my check so anyways it turned out the money was not available for me to cash and they called Tony to see if I'm actually an employee with Point Marketing and he said yes and told them to keep my check. Later on that evening I received a call from Tony stating he has filled a Police Report at Sandy Springs Police Department for Fraudulent Behaviors and trying to rip him off a $1,000 at least. Afterwards he told me that the minimum was three years in Jail which I would enjoy. Speaking with my lawyer he told me that I was in the right for endorsing my paycheck and told me to keep all evidence. This company is a rip-off and I advise no one to work for this company.
