I sent over my resume, and was immediately contacted by a Joe Lauder, apparently the "president" of the company. He brushed over my experience with very little interest, which I thought was very odd. He told me his group has invested $72 million into a patented technology that is going to revolutionary. He told me he had 38 distributors, many of which are pulling in 10-15K a month within the first three months....then, later in the conversation said they were making that within the first 6 months. After a very short pitch, he asked if my wife & I were liquid...and could we send the $12,000 for the distributorship within 2-3 weeks! Red flags everywhere. The webiste properhealthllc.com has only been up for 25 days as of today (11/26/13) yet, they have 38 successful distributors? He gave me the names and contact numbers for two people (references)...Bill Williams in St. Louis, and a Frank Staff. I didn't bother to call either, because this seemed so fishy. He then tried to set up a powerpoint presentation for my wife and I the following day. I agreed, and then hopped online to do my due diligence. It was apparent immediately that this was a scam. Joe Lauder then called me the following morning, telling me he has to reschedule because he has a conference call with 10 physicians. I tried to discuss my findings with him, and as soon as he sensed reluctance on my part, hung up the phone!
Stay away from Proper Health, LLC. Bill Williams, Joe Lauder, Frank Staff, "Jason" the mysterious recruiter with no last name.
