BIGGEST RIPOFF PRYAMID SCHEME EVER!! Adefx PREYS ON UNSUSPECTING INNOCENT NEW BUSINESS AND POTENTIAL JOB SEEKERS

This is an absolutly true event and it disgusts me how seedy and sleezy these law breaking, money hungry, beggers are. It is very long but IF YOU ARE GOING FOR A JOB WITH THEM YOU MUST READ THIS... it is my warning to you. DONT GET SUCKERED IN! (p.s. I broke it in to sections so read whats relevant to you if not the whole thing)

IT STARTS LIKE THIS: I was looking for a job in my local newspaper and responded to this ad that would catch anyones eye it said: "STUDENTS STUDENTS STUDENTS!!! Love people? Money? make 12/16$ per hr F/T mon - Fri 8-5" I obviously jumped all over it because it sounded so perfect. Its crazy how! WRONG! I was. I gave them a call... all was normal... The receptionist (as i asume thats who i was speaking with) began explaining all the wonderful things the company had to offer me if in fact i was right for the job. "All expenses paid trips around the world, " "400$ days, " "19 offices in 5 different countries, " were all things that this receptionist was ranting and raving about and it sounded like music to my ears. The receptionist and I set an interview up for myself.

THE 1st INTERVIEW: I was on my way feeling pretty excited... I turned on to sussex ave and expected this office to be pretty easy to spot because hell they had "19 offices all over the world! " After about 15 mins of trying to find this place i was least to say Disappointed with the outcome. What a small..rickety... unprofessional... TEMPORARY looking office. Walls were bare except for the occasional, confusing, motivational poster that hung by tacks. Music was BLARING in this office but I thought nah.. this cant be all there is so i decided to look past the fact that it was a hole in the wall of an office and kept my now some what excited attitude for my interview. I sat in a little office chair across from the "owner" of the branch (who looked to be about maybe 20) and she began pitching the job to me... Nevermind asking me questions about myself or infact letting me get a word in edgewise... we left the interview and i was pretty excited thinking that she just knew she liked me and i was set up for a second interview.

THE 2nd INVERVIEW: This is a kicker! haha... i went out with the boss for my second interview and WATCHED them try to desperatly sell these spa brochures to unsuspecting innocent people off the street. I was out on a PAYLESS 6 hour day of observation!! After the day had ended i came back to the hole in the wall of an office and was told to write a test which ANYONE could have Aced. NO further questions were asked about me and NO further questions were answered because the "boss" made it seem as though there wasnt time. They said they would call me that night and tell me either way if i was hired or not.

THE CALL: SURPRISE i got the job... red flags were up alllllll over the place for me by this time but i guess against my better judgement decided just to see what it was like so i agreed to come in the next day at 7:30 am.

THE FIRST DAY: I went out and sold 10 spa brochures at 50$ a peice claiming that purchasers were being invited to try spa services for 90% off. 250$ of service value for 50$. I was told to use sales tactics... and that it was ok to bend the truth a little... it was ok to pressure them in to buying this product that i personally didnt even believe in... I KNOW... im sorry... i was stupid and under influence and wasnt thinking so i appoligize to all those i sold to... Anyway... I was begining to see where this was going... my trainer told me i was doing FANTASTIC... and i was a natural... and on his first day he only sold 3... we got back to the office and they cashed me out 170$ on the spot... i thought WOW... somthings weird here... THE MONEY was GREAT... but it felt dirty... i made 17$ for every brochure i sold.. this job is straight commision.

AT HOME AFTER THE FIRST DAY: I began feeling like a liar immediatly... a scammer a theif almost and i thought this company cant be allowed to do this SOMETHING felt wrong so i looked them up on the internet to find out that NONE of what they said they do is what they do... noithing i read about them was good. Their webpage even though its such a big company is "under construction" and so ammaturly put together i began to feel paniced. Ad-exf had changed their company name so many times. They were avaiding lawsuits? They go on "road trips" to the okanagan or whereever but little does the NEW rep know that each person must pay thier own way... travel, gas, food, all expenses paid by you the NEW "employee." I stopped showing up for work after the first day and with good reason these people are a JOKE! HA! theyll look at you like a vulnerable peice of meat laughing about how vulnerable you are... well im laughing at them for how much they look like beggers and money deprived loosers who have no integrity and need to get real jobs. IF THESE PEOPLE MAKE SOOOO MUCH MONEY why did my boss not even have a car?? why would he/she ask to use the car of an employee??.. why was the office soooooooo small and unprofesional??..

AD-Efx's WAY OF MAKING MONEY: Small businesses come to ad-efx hoping to create new clientel through them. Ad-efx makes the small business (preferably dayspas) sign a contract saying that they are doing business with ad-efx. Ad-efx once the contract is signed must then go out and sell these 90% off services to make their money... The small day spa has to service the purchaser but ad-efx through the contract keeps all profits and pays its employees a small percent of commission. All the while the small day spa gets nothing but bad publicity because they are not able to service the purchasers for free and eventually end up going bankrupt.

SO NOW YOU KNOW! AD-EXF WILL DO EVERYTHING TO TRY TO PITCH THEMSELVES TO YOU BUT THEY ARE SALESPEOPLE SO THEY ARE EXPERT AT MAKING SOMTHING SOUND BETTER THEN IT IS!!! THEY NEVER TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH AND THEY LET YOU BELIEVE HOW GREAT THEY ARE WHEN REALLY THEY ARE ROBBING SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, INNOCENT PEOPLE, AND UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE BLIND!!!
