Beware: 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City

Posted on : 25-05-2009 | By : admin | In : Experience, Note

The phone rings…. I answered the phone and I heard a male voice asking if he can speak to my niece (he stated the complete name) . Thinking it was a very important call from her University, I immediately called my niece.

Minutes later, my niece who looks puzzled at that time relayed to me about who called and what they have talked about. She told me that a certain RUSTAN MANALAD from the US Biotechnology firm located at the 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City was looking for 2-3 young professionals to help manage their business (sounds doubtful already!!).

She was asked to exchanged cellphone nos. (she gave different no.), wear business attire and go to that address in Pasig on a certain date so that they can talk about the business in details. My niece was asking more questions but the caller told it was only a 3min call.

Right after that, I told her I sense that there is something fishy here bec. since other details are not given. She was buffled however because the caller knows her number, her highschool details and other stuff.

We immediately researched the said company but nothing appeared so we are assured that it doesn’t exist. We then researched for the 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City and oh gosh there are lots results that appeared. It was actually the address of a different company. Poor thing they are using that address.

We read that they were asked to sell something or do some pyramiding schemes. Crap, good thing is that my niece didn’t go there plus we’ll never allow her to go there.

same here the caller was kevin and he was invited me to come on sat 2pm, he called me up a while ago, same arena and place same adress.. i was so surprise coz i haven’t a job and am looking.. but when i saw this blog, i hesitate to go now.. thank you for this blog…

Hi, thanks to your blog!
I was about to got tomorrow morning in there.
Last week a guy named JED ROA and called me that he wanted me to go to their office, he said their company’s name was MSP, its actually weird because he should be telling me the whole meaning of that acronym if he was really a professional. I was also asking him if what was the position, but he is not saying anything whenever I am asking him, THANKS for this. At least now I know….

sa totoo lang ngaun ko lang ginawa ang magsearch ng address di ko alm kong bkit ako ngkainteres na gawin to, and thanks god at nbuksan ko tong site na to.. i already scheduled for an interview tomorrow in that place.. dahil sa mga nabasa ko hindi na ko maguguluhan kong saan ang pupuntahan kong interview.. tnx guys

Few minutes ago I received a call and she told me the same thing, same address and she got me scheduled depending on my availability. I just need to bring 1 valid ID, come in business attire and be on time.
I cant recall if she mentioned the company’s name in her introduction (since she speaks so fast).
I managed to ask her name again and the company’s name before hanging up. Good thing I was currently surfing when she called. I immediately searched for it and it lead me in a Wisconsin-based health care company website but the site is not updated, and yeah, it says something about the product mentioned above.
Well I don’t have anything against the company. I’m just glad to discover what it really is. And since I’m not good at marketing, i believe I don’t need to pursue it anymore.
Thanks!

Hi All,

These are very much useful blogs I would say. When I also got invited, I also made use of Google and I already saw the comments.

However, based on all of the comments, only a few actually went to their office and checked out the company, am I right? For most of the comments, these are reactions on what your caller said to you but nothing about the company and their products itself.

I admit, their strategy of telling us that this is for a job interview sucks and that they’ll offer us big bucks! Really misleading. At that time, I wasn’t able to attend their session because I was busy with a lot of stuff.

Then later on, someone invited me again and this time I actually went to their 1st session. There I learned about the company, their products and their compensation plan. I also checked their company websites. They have actually been featured to GMA before, they are in You Tube and in one of the American breakfast shows – forgot the name.

True, I also didn’t like how they invited people and the fact they are calling total strangers! But it made me think, should they have been more honest, our initial reactions would have been different?

I have also been invited to a different company before, whose name I wont mention, and at that time, I was indeed put into scam. They asked for a membership fee in order to be part of the company. While this one in NSE, the 12600 is actually for 12600 worth of products that you will use and once you sign up, you already have discounts on all of their products! I learned that from the 1st session. I haven’t signed up yet, but I intend to, heehee, I am excited to use of their products. I also asked around, from my friends and they too like the company’s products.

Let me just leave you for some things to think about:

1. Only a few of us here in the trail ACTUALLY went to the meeting – how did you know it is a scam? Is it because you read it from this trail?

2. What would you rather rely on? Someone else’s comments, who is also a stranger or your very own research? And by research, the totality of it…

I was sleeping early this afternoon of feb.1, 2012, when my phone rang and a unknown number appeared. She introduce herself and asking a lot of things by then, she sounded very professional at first but when I started speaking in English, she was stunned and started speaking in tagalog all the time even I answered all her questions in straight english with professionalism, I was not so very excited when she was offering me the job because I already have a work as an Admin Executive but then she told me that I can work part time on their company, I was only greatful that she wanted me to go to Manila since I am here in Baguio apart from it complementary for me so I could have time again to spend to my Boyfriend but when I ask her where did she got my number, she wasn’t very sure of her answer and she told me that we’ll look into it once I go there for there interview. SNAP! sure thing after the call from this unknown lady, I immediately called my boyfriend and told him about it and he told me not to go there because maybe it’s a scam, and here it is I searched it and it’s true, it’s a desperate move from people who can’t recruit anyone for there own sake. Thank God!

Her name was Gretchen Caballero, From NSE multinational. Back of SM Megamall Robinson bank bldg. along San Miguel Ave. Pasig City… too bad she don’t have convincing powers. aww!

I’ve had the same experience just this afternoon. A Mr. Gatmaitan called me and offered me a job with the junior executive position. The company’s name was said to be PHX International.

He was a bit rude when he asked me when I could schedule the meeting and when I gave the slightest hint that I was free, he jumped right at it and said I could choose between Alabang or Ortigas.

Thank God for this blog. My parents already knew that something was wrong and if I insisted on going, I would have dragged my mother and sister into it.

Goes to show that I should always listen to my family.

The are still doing it. I received a call yesterday. She told me that she got my number and whole name from the school I graduated from.

then, she scheduled me for an interview the following day at 3pm or 6pm.

6pm? its too late for a jointerview! so, she gave the address 15f octagon bldg.

good thing, ive read this thread.

anyway, her name is MC miralles. 09273791181

Thank you for this post.

Same info: Celine Del Rosario (0927 865 3881), BDO Bldg. – in front of San Miguel Corp in Ortigas.

Fuckin’ woke me up from my Sunday nap.

waaaah, tumawag skin yan kanina lng, name nya nman Janet Nagana eto number nya 09153709294. She said they need professional photorgapher kya ako daw ang napili, ngtataka ako kasi hindi nman nakalagay ang personal number ko sa fan page ko ung business number lng. san kaya nya nakuha number ko? :( wala ako palno pumunta sa octagon n yan bukas. bahala sya, tinatawagan ko number nya pero hnd nman nya sinasagot so peke nga rin sya.

I don’t know if this one is the same for you people, but some Ms. Gab Gamboa called me earlier and told me something on the same lines. After the call (an having me agreed to come) she texted me this:

“As promised Ms. ___. Please see bellow info for ur reference.
Directions:
From MRT Ortigas, walk past Megamall Bldg A, head towards St. francis Square. @ the corner of Julia vargas & San Miguel Ave, turn right @ san miguel Ave. look for a white bldg, its near Linden Suites beside OMM Citra, hasBancoDeOro at Ground Floor. That’s Octagon Center, we occupy a space there. Pls refer to http://www.onekaizen.com/ for location map.
I’ll meet you personally @ lobby. Office has strict dress code. Please be in business casual attire, and allot couple of hrs so we can discuss in detail. See you on (our agreed date and time)- Ms. Gab Gamboa, project coordinator…”

i asked her where did she get my number and won’t i be needing any requirements. she didn’t answer my first question but said that there’s no need to bring anything pagusapan na lang daw namin yung experience ko when we meet.

feeling doubtful for I have been in this situation many times, I checked the internet for backgrounding, and i stumbled on this one.

i don’t have anything against MLM, but I don’t like their marketing strategy. hindi man lang ba nila naisip yung loss nung tao kung sakaling pumunta sila dun at ang madadatanan nila eh hindi yung ineexpect nila. i mean pamasahe pa lang, lugi na yung mga nirerecruit nila. i get naman the part that they’re giving oppurtunity to individuals pero bakit kailangang manloko/magsinungaling (yes, manloko/magsinungaling. Not telling the whole truth is panloloko/pagsisinungaling). :( (((
