We are former employee's of Maria Blacke. She took us from Chicago to california and in between. She left us stranded in california at a greyhound bus station in the middle off the night. She fired us for no eason except for the fact that we wouldn't lie for sales.

The only person there that actualy looked out for us while we were there was Rich. When we needed anything we knew we could go to him.

She is a scandolous B***H. She needs to focus on her business and not on the people that are tring to f**k her over such as micheal m., april h., tony h., amanda w., and rebecca q..

She needs physcological help if she wants to keep her business. Our words of advice are not to work for maria blacke. one way or anouther she will screw you over.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Sun, November 04, 2007

i'll add and double pretty much everything ive been finding out on the net about magcrews and pretty much everything that ive found about maria blacke has been true. a lot nicer than the truth even my opinion in its most positive term of that thing is just that she is alive and ruining peoples lives. her bf sean ruined my truck when i had joined the crew after 2 weeks were up and i was about to bounce. magically a barely yr old truck blew the transmission. hmmm go figure sugar in the gas tank as far as i know they still have my truck they towed it from palmdale ca all the way to there hidey hole in elizabeth co and when i had a bad day in houston tx they fired me. got verbally abusive. no one had the sack to start trying to think of getting physical with me . i returned the same if not worse sentiments back at em and a friend of mine hooked me up with a plane ticket out of houston airport and i never heard from them again. however im still pissed. those friggin losers kept my truck after promising to get it working and im still so angry at the "Baffle em w/ Bulls*&t" wype of lying they do to the new folks until its too late to get out about supposedly there being money on there books and getting fined for wobbing out the books dont exist!! nothing seriously positive can come out of ever being on a magazine crew and with the internet flourishing so much i hope the go out of business and lose everything that was ever dear to them

The rebuttal to my statement is false. My boyfriend and I were not homeless when Maria found us. Her son Rich picked my boyfriend Andre up from his grandmothers house and Rich picked me up from my fathers house. Just to put the suger on top whoever wrote that comment about my boyfriend and myself is lying Blake is not the last name of my boyfriend. We made enough sales to cover our rent and nightly draws. Unlike her illiterate employee Micheal Miller who she still employes. Even though he is a known child molester. He has molested numerous of guys on her crew. Whoever made the response to my statement wasn't even on crew when my boyfriend and I were stranded. My boyfriend and I are not thefts. We never stole from her company. She was doing illegal stuff on her own. She didn't need our help. Our experience on her crew would have been fine had she gave us the promised bus tickets home. Her son Rich was best friends with Andre. He didnt want to leave us but his mom made him.

The person writing this report is Diane. It was made aware to Ms. Blacke that Diane and her boyfriend were STEALING ORDERS and lying to customers. They panhandled and turned in the reciepts as Voids when in fact they had collected money from customers and then pocketed the cash. They were never left stranded and because they were homeless Maria carried them for months and months paying their hotel rent and giving them a nightly draw for food as well. Finally, when she was made aware of them stealing cash orders they were terminated. It is sales agents like these that give the whole Direct Sales Industry a bad name. On top of it all they can post an erroneous, uncoroberated report on a website like this claiming to be victims. Amazing!! From now on, any order that comes in from Andre Blake or Diane Nelson that is a stolent cash order they ripped off, I am going to encourage the customer to press charges against them for theft. Unfortuanately, people can post anything they want on this website whether it is true or not.

Im am just writing to let the people of California know that Maria Blacke is now staying in your state because she has to many warrents in other states. Another reason she is staying in your beautiful state is because soliciting is legal there. Please beware of reader's across america.
