If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I did. And this time I got some peoples attention because a bunch of people are commenting and reposting. Hopefully it will stay up a little longer this time.
 
The first thing I do when called for an interview is ask my own questions, name of the company, and how long they've been in operation. Then I google it. From there, may or may not go to an interview. Once I made it to this one interview, only to discover it was an agency with similar job openings. Why not just be honest that you're an agency? The office was brand new, the people working it young and unprofessional looking. Ok, I gotcha, no, not getting my social #.

Been to one pyramid scheme "interview" with like 50 people who all got hired. Yeah. Right. Only went because a friend prodded me into it. Afterwards, I was like... you do realize this is bogus, right? Just don't bother with anything in sales unless you're hired directly by a legitimate company, in which case their title for the position would be "Outside Sales". "Inside sales" is different, usually working with existing clients the outside sales folks brought in.

I don't trust anything anymore. All one needs to do is come up with a plan to separate people from their money. A lot of times, it's totally legal. You really need to break down every offer, every major purchase, every fee.

Look at time shares. 25 people buy the same condo. They sweeten the deal, say you get to use ANY of their condos. Still, the profit they see is way more than the outright sale of that condo. You pay the fees. You pay less than you would for a condo, but when added to the funds of the other people... the profit margin is insane. Which developer thought that one up? Genius.

Every single weight loss program, diet plan, or product sells and is profitable because of the vanity people have, combined with media pressure to be thin, combined with the media coverage of the obesity epidemic. Really, just eat healthy. Some of those supplements are no better than eating a tea bag. FDA doesn't do a whole lot with supplements, since they're not actual food. A lot of those pre-made low carb meals have cardboard in them as filler. Yum. Scam?

Scams are everywhere, for everything. Leave it to the imagination. If it isn't specifically illegal, then it is perfectly legal. Whichever human weakness can be exploited, is.

Glad you caught it, and that you're going to warn the others. Keep an eye on your credit report the next couple of months in case they sell info.
