The lure is in the fact that BDM offers homebased positions. They are an employment agency and you're an independent contractor. They are looking for people to do business development or research marketing or for a staffing specialist. You are required to set up a phone line and have a computer and he promises to pay you at the end of each month.
I worked for Nigel Corneal, Thinkbdm for only 6 months. In that time I had to chase him for my first two checks and he was still owing me for four months of work when I left the company. I know I wasn't the only one. He gave all of us signed checks in $500 increments with a promise that we would be able to cash them. He hit a low in the company at the end of the year and did not have any money. I, and the other 4 employees believed him. When I finally left due to the fact that the money was not forthcoming, hence I was working for nothing, he was still promising me the money.
When I checked with him 3 weeks after I had quit, he swore at me and called me names. After the phone call, I knew I was not going to see any money. I took my checks down to his branch and had as many as I could certified knowing that he would put a stop payment on the rest, which is what he did. Thinkbdm still owes me $4100. As for the rest of the staff, they are still waiting for him to pay them.
I went on a website and found someone from 2002 who had a similar experience with Nigel and Thinkbdm. While working for the company there were many people who were hired and worked for a month but then let go. They were told they did not meet quota and therefore let go without pay. Nigel uses employees for a month and let's them go. I, having only been there for 6 months was one of the oldest employee there.
Don't let him scam you, he advertises all over Canada and the US.
