Posted on : 25-05-2009 | By : admin | In : Experience, Note
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.
So please beware of a certain:
RUSTAN MANALAD – For sure he uses someone else’s name
cp: 09052920417
using the address of a different company:
15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City
Teens and young professionals are targeted so pls. be aware.

u might want to see this site to verify the company. sometimes it’s really scarry to just believe what u have heard or read from unknown source. verify first and be careful.
Thanks for the comment Annalyn but with my niece’s experience the guy who called never said it was NU skin co. He gave a different company that never exist (we googled the co. and no results found) and he using nu skin’s address and that is shady already.
gee.. good thing I researched. that’s why the girl that I talked to didn’t even mention a company name. she just gave me the address to go to. I was supposed to go there earlier today. And I even asked for me to have a rescheduled appointment. thanks.
hi, i was invited earlier today..but i was asked to go to 16th flr. of the same building..no details was given aside from it will be a part timejob where i would need to go under qualifying process first. do you guys think it is the sane thing?
I met one nice lady when I was at Megamall and she approached me.She asked where I worked and told her I recently resigned from my job. She told me to go to 15th floor Octagon Building as there was a job opening and I asked what the company was and she said that it was a multinational company. She never mentioned the name of the company but I felt something was not right. I searched on the internet and found out what 15th floor Octagon Bldg was offering for YUPs. After reading all the comments I felt glad I did not go to Octagon Bldg.
Thank God for the internet! To all young professionals out there please be vigilant!
NuSkin is in China, I just joined NuSkin China yesterday. It seems like a solid program and I am starting to love NuSkin China.
NuSkin China´s last blog ..Nuskin China Are you absolutely sure this is the best opportunity for you?
I was not born yesterday! Thank God there is such thing as Internet.
In my case, it was a bitch who called… company name? Global Business Solutions! There are more than 10,000 companies that are named after this bloody company name so I search for the address… 15th Floor Octagon Building…
Please be ware of this… if you don’t want to ruin your future
a guy called me. his name is marlon ilagan he used this number 09189125782 to call me earlier today. he said he is part of a US company who needs someone who can help them to train and prepare their employees. he said, he is the senior executive officer and that he needs a junior executive officer… im not sure if its a fake… but it sure did mess up my mind…
this number called me 09228975690..he said that price water house coopers , an international auditing firm is in need of part timer auditor..i was scheduled this coming saturday .. what can u say about that? should i go there?
There is this lady calling tirelessly for several times i was told that they need professionals for their business her name was Necie Velasquez (anyone familiar with her name) and also she said that she had executives to interview me.. Im being puzzled by how come she didnt even ask for a resume if they need professional im schedule to be interviewd today this afternoon.
Thank God I tried to look to the address of this building and found out that this is a fraud.
Hays…
beware to this no. 09391588048, his name is nestor. he knows a lot of me.. I know that there is a group who search to the net about my personal information. I decided to delete all the details and my info to my face book and friendster account.
I have an appointment tomorrow and good thing i searched hard on this company. They told me the company’s name is Phyto Pharmaceutical Company based in the US. I searched on the WWW and there was no listing of the said company. I felt confused thinking that someone must be playing games on me but i wasn’t sure. Maybe it is a new company, i said to myself.
I really don’t want to go there without any knowledge about the company, so i searched thoroughly. I was also thinking about visiting the place this afternoon to make sure that i wont be late tomorrow. So i referred to the address that the lady gave me and it didn’t match anything. She said Robinsons savings bank building and mentioned about amethyst and San antonio. I searched on google map and found out it was octagon bldg. Maybe, just maybe she didn’t want to mention octagon bldg because she knew i can easily get access to these posts.
The woman was a sweet/ bitchy talker. She was good about manipulating me but didn’t even answer any of my questions straight. Before she hung up on me she told me “Since you are from ___ school, I’m not expecting you to cancel on your appointment on the day itself.” What the fucK! I was being pressured a bit to find out that she was a scammer. DARN!!
Thank you guys! I was relieved from this riddle.
This is the number 09329878229, she introduced herself as Salve. She also mentioned that i look for Mr. Daniel Laogon.
This is in reply to Eduard’s message posted 3/10/2010, the Philippine member firm of the PricewaterhouseCoopers global network is not looking for part-time auditors. The number you provided is not used by the Human Resources Department of this firm. Visit pwc.com/ph/careers to get correct information about this firm’s vacancies.
hi ive just received a phone call from a certain kevin ocoma he told me that he is looking for young professionals to do a part time job in there company there company is project based. he then asked me if im working i told the name of the company im working with then he told me to go there office bring id
I just got a call from a woman named Nikki. Gave me the same line she gave Cat. “Since you are from ___ school, I’m not expecting you to cancel on your appointment on the day itself.” that one and that she expects me to be on time and i sound very professional on the phone.
i find this funny because i was in that same building, on the same floor about a month ago. she said the name of the company is Bio photonic international. That floor is owed by Nu Skin Philippines. The biophotonic scanner is a product. it was introduced to us when i went over to that building. Nu Skin is owned by Pharmanex. Although, i find it weird that no resume is asked for.
When you get there, you will be shown a presentation of what their products are. it really is interesting if you are willing to take a risk in purchasing something from them then selling the product. its not a guaranteed income as you actually have to work hard to sell the product.
although it would be good if they give the name of the company itself and not the product. just cancelled my appointment as i already know what they are going to ask of me. not really interested in those things
A lady called me yesterday and told me that I was reffered by University of the ____ where I graduated.
I have an initial appointment tomorrow 1:30 pm.
I was instructed to wear office attire ,bring ID and go to 15th flr Octagon Building and find the project director to discuss the salary,schedule,etc.
Im hired without any assessment and resume??????Something is wrong…
I asked the name of the company but the girl did not answer any of my queries.Now im relly confused but after reading all your comments I’m relieved.
thank’s guy for the info.I will not go there anymore.
Beware young professionals.
WHAT EXACTLY IS IN THE 15TH FLOOR OF OCTAGON BLDG
..there was such same call i received from a guy just recently..he asked for a brief 3min talk bec. he was in a hurry..offering a part time job..just 8-10 hours ___? he did not mentioned or elaborated 8-10 hours what? was it a day?or every week?
i was quite confused though coz’ i was told to come to their office at 15th floor, Robinson bank, san miguel ave. ortigas..i’m not familiar with the place bec. im not from manila..no name of company mentioned.. he told me to bring an I.D, and on office/business attire..i should not be late..bec. its an american company..of course..i its quite overwhelming though to think that without applying or submitting a resume, i was scheduled already for an interview..and if i qualify, the compensation would be high..
really ’twas tempting..until i’ve decided to check it out on the internet then “shoot!”..
i found these comments..jeez..tsk tsk such a caller!
..cont..
..according to the caller he got my profile on my previous IELTS exam..he knows my full name..and i have a “slot”..maybe job slot??..nice shot..he even used IELTS as a bait..and he almost got me..
he talks fast and in a loud voice that i cannot comprehend well with what he was saying..hmm think ’twas one of their strategy.. and “in a hurry” “3min call only” so that the receiver will not be able to ask questions..
the call ended with me wondering..what was that all about.. all i know was that the salary is quite an amount.. deceiver!
I also received a call just today and her name was Salve Labastida.. she knew where I worked and the university i came from..
i am extremely dubious about people offering easy money and showing you that you’re special and you were granted a position without me even applying there..
she said the address is 15th floor robinson savings bank amethyst drive, corner san antonio ortigas.. she asked me to bring a valid ID, be in office attire and to be professional and not cancel the meeting..
after reading this post I texted her and told her I know this is the company of Nu Skin and that I wasnt interested and want to cancel the meeting.
They stopped contacting me then.. Scary though is that they know all about you.. I guess its from my resume posts at some of the jobseeker websites I use..
Remember, you have to work for everything and money and opportunity doesnt grow on trees.. have faith in God but always be vigilant of scammers and fraudulent offers..
To the Blogger and everyone else:
I got a very similar phone call today. It was from Nikki / Niki/ Nicky Bumatay 0915-617XXXX. I had the very same talk from her. She told me that a friend of mine (he confirmed) referred me and they were looking for people who can manage their business and I can do this on part time basis.
She invited me to come to their office so she can discuss more information about the business at:
15/F Octagon Building
San Miguel Avenue
Ortigas, Pasig
She made me choose a schedule between the 2:
1.) Tue/9am
2.) Sat/1:30pm
and I should come in Business Attire and bring a valid ID.
She caught me off guard and I was still half asleep, after mentioning the name of my friend — I said Yes to her invitation talk. After coming to my senses, I googled the company and found many results.
Some results say that it’s a scam, I did some extensive research and found out it’s not really a scam. It’s a product.
NuSkin, or as they call it NSE Philippines or Synergy One Global or Pharmanex is located at the 15th floor, Octagon bldg, Ortigas center, Pasig City.

According to my friend, and Mr Google, They conduct business by MLM or Multi Level Marketing.
also called network marketing, direct selling, referral marketing, and pyramid selling.
The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing
The products/services are real/legit but I don’t like how they do the business.
I called her back and respectfully backed out from my appointment. She asked me if I can give her some people to replace me, I told her I’d have to check with them.
Some people here are real, and so is the business.
What if you were in their footsteps and you found yourself in the internet listed as a scammer?
Or something like an anonymous blogger like this:
http://spo4bantayscam.multiply.com/journal/item/4
The online scam is very rampant because of the growing online community.
Try to do more research first before posting something like this. It’s not funny if you’re applying for a clearance and the investigator will find your name on the internet listed as a scammer or people who commit fraud.
For Curious people like who thinking How the deal goes in there, here’s Additional Information.
Here’s a quote from one of the people who actually attended the business talk:
“ako, last week ***, umattend ako dun sa Makati office nila ng “seminar.” Actually, I like their products (lifepak) kelangan ko kc yun e… Yeah, it is MLM, wala ako 12,600 agad agad, saka hindi ako masyado mahilig dun sa recruit recruit…, hehe…
If it is scam, may be?! dont have authority to say that, hehe… (once na yun family ko nalako sa first quadrant e) siguro kung marami ka talagang kilala na my pera, at mahilig magbenta, ***** yayaman ka tlaga **… hehe…
Working na me, at the same time enrolled to a post-graduate course. ano pa time ko dun sa pag recruit recruit sa mga tao, *** rin mababawi yun 12600 kun sakali, hehe
What is not good? the way the distributors telling to their prospects, i.e, lying first. Pero sabi strategy daw yun!!! tsk… tsk…
coz, pumunta me dun kasama ng kaibigan ko nag invite sakin, na *** alam ano yun pupuntahan ko, pag dating ko nlng dun sa floor ng Pharmanex saka ko nalaman, paglabas ko ng elevator sa phamanex, alam ko na agad, networking”
http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?p=24590954
This Sallve Labastida called me offering a part time position for a certain multinational company, I asked what company and she said Pharmanex, we have scheduled a meeting on saturday 1:30pm, but Im still puzzled who really they are, so I just went on the conversation,after we talked, I searched immediately in the internet the pharmanex, and directed to NU Skin website (http://www.nuskin.com/pharmanex.html),I looked for NU Skin address and it was diffrent from what was given to me by the caller, but then I searched also for the addressed given to me 15flr Robinsons Saving Bank Amethyst rd, no exact company resulted. Then I found this blog and i was glad I found out this infos… the number called is 09155326241. And now.. I texted her cancelling the meeting, just to be sure she wont bother me if I wont appear in our supposed meeting.
Lol, I know this floor too, it’s Nu Skin, it’s even larger than ABS-CBN Co, San Miguel corp, Ayala corp and even in any international companies combined. Check out the New York Stock Exchange website and look NYSE, it’s their code.
grabe ako din tinawagan! same story! ingat kayo dito! kevin canlapan (09162842779)
3:40pm…I’m sleeping when my phone rings! I woke up and I saw an unregistered number calling..09162842775…., i answered the phone…A girl introduced herself saying she’s ROAN GALVEZ from Synergy Global…and she’s looking for me, of course. She even knew the school where I graduated. She said that their company is out-branching somewhere in Manila (I forgot the exact place, i think in Ortigas also) and they need 1-2 professional/s who can handle their new branch. Of course, I felt happy to hear that. She asked if i’m working already and i said that i’m just a volunteer nurse in one of the govt hospitals in our province. She scheduled me for an interview, she asked me to choose between mon and wed and i chose wed, then she set for the time, it was 3pm. she even said that she will cancel her schedule that time just to give way for my interview. She gave the address, 15th flr, Octagon Building, San Miguel Ave., Ortigas Center, Pasig City. I even asked what is the nature of their company, I asked if it is a clinic/hospital ( cause I’m a newly registered nurse) and she said it’s not. She just said that their company is branching out and they need person/s who can handle their branch. She didn’t mention what things to bring, what attire should i wear. She just said she’s looking forward for an interview with me. The call ended that lasted for 4min 32 secs. Immediately, I turned on the computer and searched for their company. I saw different Synergy Global links. Mostly can be located abroad. I was shocked that time coz it was an international company. I felt proud! but then their local address doesn’t match in the address given to me. From the net it’s from Q.C, then I doubted. I searched extensively, shocked! i found out a link saying it’s a scam…I read some of the comments and my excitement level turned down while increasing my disappointment level. I realized that I was one of those young professionals who almost grab the opportunity of being FAKED/FRAUD!..then i told my story to my sister in law and she warned her brother who is a young professional also…thank GOD i searched the net first!…
Hahaha its like one of those fictional evil pharma companies that hires people secretly to be their henchmen and then rule the world or something like that. Oh yeah I also got a call too.
anyway most likely its another recruiting scheme for their pyra..er sorry “Multi-Level” Marketing. It’s probably not a scam but I don’t like these kinds of business models.
Remember Amway?
somobody called me today with a name of Dianne Garcia, and she said that my name was listed as a recommendation from their company. She said that I should be in business attire on Friday at 3pm, she knows that I’m a nurse and the company’s name is US Biophotonics International.
My question is, the address that they gave is from SM Megamall, I should ride FX with Tektite route, near Linden Suite Hotel, they are on the 15th floor of the white bldg. Is it the same with Octagon Bldg? but based from what I read from this blog, the approach of the caller is similar to mine.
Thanks for posting this!
Ive got the same phone call and had this gut feeling about it but i still went through. i do admit that the way they recruit people are unethical, not saying about the company, and being very vague about the job offer…. the products and MLM biz plan are legit. “GREAT COMPANY,
GREaT PRODUCTS, WRONG PEOPLE” i got this quote from another site forgot who the author is(sorry dude).
still interested in this kind of business coz of the opportunity.
BUt now im 2nd guessing about this company, given the negative feedbacks so…i need help here… anyone?
i was called also with this….hinahanap ko s internet ung company n sinasabi pero wala akong mhanap same address 15th floor sa white buildin…sbi ng kuya ko tingnan ko muna sa internet bgo ako pumunta…alm din nya n nursing graduate ako and a registerd nurse…when i read this ntakot n ako…. tnx for this….!
haay nku i was also called by “victoria jones” daw about an hour ago.. saying same stuff! she knows my name and profession too, sb ko too good to be true nmn ung deal nla…15-18k daw for a part time job! so i decided to search for the given address at buti nlng i found out this link.. thanks God tlga! wag kau mgpapaloko guys here’s the # she used 0933670095.

just now i received a call from “KYLE PLATERO”. He was asking me if I was interested with the job offer earning 15k-35k a month. He asked me if i was currently employed and i said yes here in Makati. He even invited me for an interview on Saturday and he’ll expect me. i’m just a bit confused because he knows my name…?!?? weird.. here’s the number of the caller.. 0916880875
BEWARE GUYS!
Marj´s last blog ..Cured
(CHE) same thing, DIANA GARCIA called me last monday, telling me that i’ve been chosen to be a part of their multi international JOB offering (HEALTH care PROJECT), she gave me the exact details on how to go to that building, (RIDE fx(tekpipe_SIGNBOARD), LINDEN suite HOTEL, TALL white BUILDING, GROUND FLOOR BDO and ROBINSONS bank, go to 15th floor and look for her(MS. DIANA GARCIA) wear BUSINESS attire and BRING a valid I.D… I felt excited that time, i even called my GIRLFriend to tell her the good news, i also ask her to come with me, to try if she can apply too… yesterday at around 4 in the afternoon, i received a txt from her reminding me that now is our appointment at 6.30 pm at the BELVEDERE TOWER, i txted her telling that my appointment with her is on the sat 1.3o pm, and then i asked her what is the name of the company, she did’nt reply, instead she call me and says that it’s a multi-national company, US BIOPHOTONICS INTERNATIONAL, and i also asked her of what job they are offering for me, she said its a HEALTH care PROJECT…. I txted her a few minutes ago asking if the belvedere tower is the same as the TALL white building she told me… i asked her that bec. I’m familiar with BELVEDERE tower, THAT is where (MY BENEFITS CLUB) (COMPANY WHO MARKET POWER SAVER- “a GOOD company”).. she told me that it’s not the same building, and she said that i’m scheduled later at 6.30 pm, i told her not, it’s on sat. at 1.3o, she said “i’m sorry was’nt on my desk right now. and “SEE you then on saturday at 1.30 pm.. thou it sounds confusing, i’m prepared for that appointment with her on sat., while on the computer, i tried to find the US BIOPHOTONiC INTERNATIONAL, but i can’t find it. instead i am redirected to a FREE MAGAZINE etc., then i saw the “BEWARE” stuff on my search on google, then redirected here.. i’ve red all the BLOGs.. and same story as i’d have… THANKS to this SITE… i really can’t tell if it’s a scam or what, but with all of that same experiences we’ve had, i can say IT’S not a GOOD marketing IDEA to tell those YOUNG professionals that they’ve been chosen to be a part of a company… I’m a REGISTERED NURSE too, and i know how hard it is to find a JOB… THANKs to THIS BLOG… I even save my TIME, and I THINK my LIFE TOO… thanks… two thumbs UP! -FROM BULACAN
Oh my GOSH! This guy/gay named KYLE PLATERO also called me last thursday telling me that their company is in need of 3 executives blah blah blah and well yeah, like the others who have commented on this post, he told me to mark on my planner the date that he would schedule me for a meeting and that i should wear an office attire and should bring an ID which is kind of baffling because he never mentioned that i should bring a resume or something. I declined his first offer to meet today because i have a seminar and then he said that he could meet me up on Monday, 3pm or 6:30pm only. WHAT THE HECK?? Good thing I googled he’s name first and VOILA – this blogpost appeared. That guy/gay is a good talker alright. BEWARE PEOPLE!
PS: I’ll cancel my appointment to him AT ONCE! Thanks guys!
I am not a proponent of deception. I disagree with the way some Nu Skin distributors are doing the business (as I’ve read in this thread). I am not a Nu Skin distributor yet but after attending a few times their presentation in the US and after trying some of their products, I really got interested.
It is just unfortunate that most of you who posted comments here have been deceived in one way or the other by a distributor who is desperately looking for business partner. It, definitely, is a bad way of doing it. I don’t even think Nu Skin in the US is aware of this way.
However, with the knowledge I know about the company and their products so far, I felt compelled to write my comments just so you see the other good side of it. Nu Skin is a publicly listed company in the US. The people I met in the US who are actively doing the business are credible people mostly in medical field – chiropractor, opthalmologist, optometrist, OB-Gyne, family physician, etc. Why are they in the business? That is because Nu Skin is a credible company, debt-free and has a record of steady growth.
Can you really make money in Nu Skin? I believe so. I have met people who are now enjoying residual income after working at it for I think 5 years. Not bad, huh? Will I try doing the business? Most likely. At this point, I am in the process of scanning my market for it.
If you cannot trust the people doing it in the Philippines but you are interested in finding out how you can make good money in it, I suggest you ask the credible people in the US. I suggest you go to this site:
http://www.nsedreams.com/pwp/splash.jsp?pwpID=US0935945&textCacheLocale=en-US
There’s a name of credible person there that you can contact or email for questions.
Also, before you judge the company, I strongly suggest that you visit their official website: http://www.nuskin.com
Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thanks to this blog/site I was saved from wasting my time on something I am totally not interested on- MLM/Networking!!!
Same story as most people here already posted
- Received a call this morning offering a job and scheduling me for an interview.
- Caller said he is Mr. Michael Tanghal (0926-6144675). He knew what university I graduated from and claimed he got my contact info there.
- Asked what kind of work/industry I’m in at the moment and if I am open to other job opportunities. Said yes just to get on with the conversation.
- Mentioned the company he is from, US BIOPHOTONICS. The usual “buhat ng banko”- multinational company, based in US, very good financial compensation etc.
- Guy was trying to schedule me an appointment: Mentioned their location: 15th floor of Teleperformance Bldg. (but not in anyway connected with Teleperformance), behind Linden Suites. He said if I’m there I can just ask the guard on duty for him etc. etc. etc. In the end, i just said NO.
- He asked me if I can refer anyone who can fill my “spot”, I said no one.
- End of call.
The only thing that peeves me is how and where they get my information/contact number (and other people’s for that matter)??!!!!
Their company, products may be legit but the way they operate is what irritates people!!
Beware to those who treasure their time but to those who doesn’t have a job then you might want to give this a second look.
Just my 2 cents. Good day to all and God Bless!
I was invited last July 8, (I think)..
The lady who called me and my friend was GRACE LAXAMANA. She told us that they urgently needed us, for the left slot of the team of their company. She even knew our names, and the school we’re studying at. She said too many good things (pambobola), to convince us. She even assured that we will be going on the next day. (Kinabukasan agad! OMG! Kailangan, nakaCorporate attire pa…)
Good thing, we urgently searched in the net the said location, and boom! we read a lot of blogs (mostly from students)
So, BEWARE OF CALLERS na biglang tumatawag “FOR HIRING, JOB INTERVIEW, OR ANY OTHER JOB OPPORTUNITY” especially kung hindi ka naman nagApply tapos, bobola-bolahin ka pa..
in all fairness sa mga tumatawag, they have the time to pool the names and contact details of potential “managers.” this girl (I won’t name her. God bless her na lang) called me last night. said she was with an American multinational company. asked me where I was studying, what year I was in, what I was majoring in, how I was doing in school (nanay nanay?). said a friend of mine referred her to me. said they were looking for managers who’ll work part-time for their “project” here in the Philippines. no details. just the address: 15/F, Octagon Tower, Ortigas Center. told me I should be in business attire, I shouldn’t cancel my appointment lest I be called unprofessional, and that I should just go and look for her once I get there (our appointment was supposedly for today, at 1:30pm. her senior executive or something cleared his/her schedule just to accommodate my interview. how gracious.) our I sent a follow-up SMS asking her for her name and at least some general details of what I was getting into. she replied saying I should reserve my questions for the interview, which was supposed to happen today. all the grown-ups here in the house were saying “ay yan yung mga nagbebenta-benta ng kung anu-ano.” apparently, going by the comments I’ve read here, they were right.
I’m a 17yo sophomore Broadcast major from the nation’s Premier University. my profs are giving me hell, even in my sleep. sana mamili naman sila (yung mga tao sa 15/F ng Octagon Tower) ng irerecruit.
For me theres nothing wrong about the business. In a business kc na malaki eh hindi pinag-uusapan yan over the Phone. Anong magiging sense kung lahat na lang ng tanong nyo eh sagutin nila. Walang mangyayai sa usapan ninyo kung sa Phone na lang. Bakit ba kayo pinapupunta, dahil sa business. aNO ANG SINSAgot nyo kapag tinanong kayo kung open kayo? OO db? Kung No yung sagot nyo eh hindi na sila magaaksaya pa ng oras senyo. Kung hindi kayo nagconfirm eh hindi na sila tatawag para magfollow up senyo. Professional sila in a way na pinapahalagan yung mga commitment nila. Pero kayo eh napakaunprofessional na hindi na lang basta basta pupunta without informing them. Pinapagunahan nyo ng takot ang isang bagay na hindi nyo pa nkikita.
Ang inooffer nila eh opportunity. Hindi ito para sa knila, Para senyo itong inooffer nila. Wag kayo magpakatanga sa mga desisyon ninyo at mga hinuha na wala namng katibayan. be honest to them kung ayaw nyo pumunta o hindi. Mahirap maghintay sa wala db?
Kung matalino kayo eh titingnan nyo kung ano b tlga yung info na gusto nya ipakita. Nasa sa inyo namn ang desisyon eh. Pag may nakita kayong mali at hindi tama eh tsaka kayo magcomment ng hindi maganda or else pede namn kyo magreklamo kung may mali sa knila.
Ang mga taong hindi umaasenso eh yung mga taong takot makita ang bawat oportunidad.
I also got the same call this morning..We had almost the same conversation as with you guys (the venue and their strategy)..I asked for the company’s name and she mentioned that it was Synergy Philippines..
As I was reading all your posts, I am starting to believe that it was really a scam..But reading Mark & Gem’s comments, I think, they’re right..
Maybe it was NOT A SCAM..It was just a NETWORK MARKETING, direct selling, referral marketing, and/or pyramid selling.
For the callers/employees of the said company, maybe, the way that some of you guys do your business strategies are not quite appropriate..You should properly introduce yourselves, your company’s background and also the kind of business that you’re doing..Maybe that way, you can find people who are really interested with your business..
For those people who already experienced this, just like most of us here and also to those who might receive the same call in the future. It is really up to you guys..Use your own judgment..
If you are interested to join their company, make sure that you are aware of the kind of their job..networking is not an easy job and this will need your sales and marketing skills and strategies..It may also includes some risks..so think really hard before you decide..
But if you are not into Sales and marketing, then don’t think twice. Don’t go there. Just like me, I don’t know how to make a “sales talk” and I don’t have connections with “rich people” who can buy my products if ever i will join them..So, I have decided to cancel my appointment with them today..:)
Just don’t give your full trust easily to someone you don’t know..
Think as many as you can before you decide..:)
And ofcourse, pray hard;)
As I’m making further researches regarding this, I had found this link..I think you should also read this..:)

Hi I was called today and thanks for the use of internet too, I read these comments and suddenly I saw it was a scam. But at first call, I just had a second doubt because of the caller named jilyn Gylon forgot the SOP of a caller w/c is to ask basic information to the one his/her calling and to of course explain where she got my information. At the second call, she explains that she got a recommendation from our school. Good thing I didn’t call to my school and ask if they really recommend their students. I forgot to take note of the company named and I was thinking to search for the address at internet and maybe the company will appear and when I saw these many comments….wow I was laughing and my sister read it too and we were laughing together.
I had lot of comments to you Jilyn Gylon, you only ask me to bring valid ID and no more. That’s a big question to us of course and God, graduates today are not as dumb as you are.
You must read my message which means I won’t come tomorrow, 3:00 PM.
Be good.
good thing nag research muna ako. nakareceive din ako ng call today….same address. gosh ill text her to cancel my appointment! i am not interested in MLM!

LEGITIMATE ANG NUSKIN INFAIRNESS. THE RECRUITMENT PEOPLE BEHIND ARE BULLSHIT. SAYANG ANG GOOD PRODUCTS NILA KUNG GANYAN ANG PROCESS NILA NG PAGKUHA NG MEMBERS AT PATAKARAN SA IBA.
I-quote ko lang yung ibang lines sa PDFs na yan:
“However, even the data supplied by NuSkin is misleading, in that important extensions and interpretations are lacking and crucial information is cleverly disguised.”

Hi,
I was also called yesterday, Aug 30, by a Sir Claud from NSE Synergy Global telling me to come to 15F Octagon Building Ortigas this Friday at 3pm.
Good thing I browsed the internet for the company details.
