Guys,

I am a nurse by profession and i also went through that process. I was amazed by this company’s presentation. (nakakapanghinayang yung mga taong nagconfirmed na pupunta pero di naman pumunta because of this blog, they had just missed their opportunity) At first, I had doubts too pero naisip ko, bakit hindi ko tingnan muna bago ako maniwala sa mga blogs na naka post dito. To see is to believe diba?

Now, im proud to say na happy ako sa company kahit na wala pa masyadong income akong narerecieve, u know y? kasi, kilala ko sarili ko. I know i will be successful no matter what it takes (in a good way). di ko kailangan negative feedbacks about the company. I believe in my self. Kung nagawa ng mga self made millionaires to…. bakit hindi ako?

Ikaw? ano ba goals mo sa buhay? pangungunahan ka na lang ba lagi ng takot?

Yun lang po God bless!

Mike Ballo 09052922258 naman tumawag sakin ngaun fri sept.18,2010 same story 41 corner extention road san miguel avenue ortigas center binigyan pa ako ng landmark beside linden hotel all white building robinson bank and bdo on the ground floor “biophotonics international” ung company salamat sa comment buti na lang at nagsearch ako

Being in the middle. Some people want to earn more some people are comfortable with what they have. We have our own will to come or not when invited.

For me personally, I build relationships and help others! Not through such dead on INVITING. I could share a lot of things you will be surprised and maybe thankful once you know.

Thanks and God bless to ALL

i just a call like 10mins ago asking me to go to this place. actually they never mentioned the name of the bldg, just told me to go to the white building besides linden building with the BDO on the ground floor. and again, i must go directly to the 15th floor wearing office attires.

i got excited at first since that was my first “job interview” but talking to the caller, (Ms. Rubis) got me puzzled. she just mentioned the company name once, it was like LS or NS incorporated, never mentioned what it was or what it does. just told me that they were looking for young professionals, related to health something, to handle their business (hmmm). and many questions that i asked wasn’t answered, she just said that things will be explained on saturday (my supposed to be appointed) which made things even more doubtful.

what made them believable was the fact that they know my complete name and the school where i am currently studying and that my course is medicine inclined.

that’s why it is always best to research about the company name first before actually going to the place blinded with what you are about to enter.

i was called this morning, and set for a meeting on Friday 3pm.questions are all in my mind..why?because she gave me the address not complete like she said san miguel branch at 15 flr onlyortigas center…then she asked me if i know the Linden Suites kse near ng daw…Wel, i keep asking on my friend if she knows about this.. but she doesn’t know yet…that’s why i am trying to search it in the internet..huh…kakaiba tlga..sound professional pa namn sya…Thanks God for the internet…

I received a phonecall just this afternoon, he said it was just a 3min phonecall~ His name is Gerard Co or Kho. Then he’s offering something~ didn’t quite understand. He mentioned my school which is weird, and he knows my full name. He told me to participate in his projects. I’m still bothered about it so I searched for the name of their company~ PHX INTERNATIONAL! 09175399277 this is his phonenumber! So please beware! I’m still in college, good thing I found this site!!!

Hi, my officemate just got a call… same story… she told me that she actually confirmed. She was scheduled today at 630 but she was having doubts so I told her to search for it in the net… then she stumbled into a lot of blog about the said place 15th Floor Teleperformance Bldg, Ortigas. We are not against NUSkin or the company itself… we are against the way they are deceiving people just to attend their seminars. NUSkin is a very reputable company, i agree… so why do they have to deceive people? Why don’t just they tell the truth? Though a lot of people are discouraged to go on networking business, I’m sure that there are also out there interested. So those at NUSkin Philippines should just stop their bad way of recruiting people.

Ako din.. tinawagan ako last thursday (Oct. 21)… a certain ANNE VILLEGAS(09228151765)… She told me that she is a Senior Executive from a MULTINATIONAL COMPANY daw… she’s in a bit hurry… sabi niya I should come on Saturday (oct. 23, 2010) for a pre-qualification. una ibang address ang binigay niya.. 12th Floor Metrobank Bldg. San Miguel Ave., Pasig City… at 1:30pm.. strict daw cla sa time… ang sabi ko, “What should I bring?” ang sabi lang niya, “1 valid ID lang”.. tapos be there in corporate attire… ” Don’t be late” pa ang habol niya… wag ko din daw kalimutang i-note sa planner ko… alam din niya ang school na pinanggalingan ko (kung san ako graduate)…. tapos, kaninang umaga (Oct. 23, 2010) eto ang txt niya… FROM: ANNE VILLEGAS (09176654072)… PLEASE PROCEED IN OUR HEAD OFFICE FOR THIS AFTERNOON’S PRE QUALIFICATION. ADDRESS IS 15TH FLOOR OCTAGON CENTER, SAN MIGUEL AVENUE, ORTIGAS. KINDLY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SMS.

I didnt acknowledge her sms kasi mejo nakakaramdam ako ng kakaiba… and besides, may work naman ako na maaus so di ako taeng tae na humanap ng work pa na mejo weird ang dating…

>>>good thing pala naisipan kong isearch ang address na un.. madami na pala clang natawagan na tulad natin na young professionals… tau pala ang target nila.. tsk tsk tsk… BEWARE!!!!

same thing, called me last week lang siguro. really recent lang nangyari. paolo cruz daw siya. knew my name and school. knew a bit about my course too. same address, same white bldg. same thing about the corporate attire. same time actually. he seemed really professional (by the way he spoke), talked really fast as if he had several other phone calls to make, spoke in straight english, etc. what made me doubt the company’s legibility can be summarized in around 6 points:

1. the caller never answered my question about the company and what the company actually does. probably only mentioned the name once. he only used the name of other big companies (specifically unilever and p&g). what kind of “big international”company would introduce itself as a comparison of other companies???

2. i also asked the caller if i would be sent at least an email regarding whatever he was telling me or at least an official invite so that i can at least refer to it (i wasnt really able to catch everything that he said because it was kinda choppy). he told me that they DO NOT WANT to disseminate information regarding new projects. WTF. it’s really unprofessional for some “big” company to be inviting people to work for them through phone calls alone. there should at least be some sort of mail or hardcopy informing me about at least the company’s project objectives and description

3. i searched the net. i can only find phoenix international, phoenix suns (lol), phoenix solutions, and a lot of other phoenix shizz. well i would have believed that phx int’l must be phoenix international. however, the caller didnt mention phx int’l as phoenix international when i asked for the FULL NAME. right. the caller should know the full name but he only told me it was phx int’l. so i assumed it was simply phx int’l. since he called the company a “big international company,” then they should at least be on the internet. but err. couldn’t find it. stumbled upon this blog instead. lol.

4. the caller texted me to send him an sms when im near the building. WTF. this one totally scared me. X___X sounds more like a trap to me. totally scared the crap out of me. totally not something a big company should be doing to applicants. -___-

5. aside from the not-so-professional phone-call-only invitations, the caller also sent me a message at night. that’s right, after office hours. uh hello?? even a high school student would know that you’re not supposed to bother clients, employees, etc. outside of office hours. well perhaps unless you guys are working closely in a team and that it’s something extremely important. considering that phx is a “big multinational” company, the employees should have been accustomed to not calling or texting regarding work outside office hours. that is if there really is such a thing as “office hours” to them. uh to me, this is very, very informal, especially for a “big” multinational company

6. the caller mentioned that the company got recommendations and my contact information from my school. so, i called my school. i asked if they had connections with a certain phx international. guess what, they said no. lol. the placement office representative also told me that the school would require my consent that information be sent to the company, if the school wanted to recommend me to that company. so the question remains. WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GET MY INFORMATION? well, my facebook number’s fake even if it’s in private. still possibly on facebook (school, name, age, etc). but wtf. how they even had the guts to taint my school’s reputation, saying that my school sent my information to them without my consent

based on previous comments, i guess there really might be a legitimate company. that is, if the other comments, specifically those comments claiming that there really is a legitimate company, are reliable. well most likely, in another name (nu skin, i presume?). whatever. assuming that nu skin or whatever really does exists, why the heck would they have to lie? or make up names like phx, biophotonics, us biotechnology, etc.? WAT. surely, they all refer to the same company. and the way they recruit people is VERY, VERY, VERY inappropriate.

there is also the possibility that the comments claiming that there really is a legitimate company are just made up by perhaps the callers themselves. i mean, the blog allows the option of commenting anonymously. highly possible. in addition, those callers might have just made up their names.

hehehe. umm though it sounds as if im telling the world of this scam (well that’s what i think it is), im not trying to discourage anyone. just sharing a few thoughts. uh. and dont hate me for sharing my thoughts.

one last thought to share: assuming that there really is a legitimate company behind those phone call invites, it’s highly possible that some sort of bad people underground whatever groups try to imitate the way the company recruits. so uh. people, please be careful!
lotsa bad people in this dirty world. DX

so.. yeah. i’ve been blabbing for a while now. take care, people!

I have just received a call from the lady at the same address. She had even scheduled an appointment with me on Friday, 3 PM.

She was speaking too fast, vaguely mentioning the name of the company. I wanted to ask her what the project is about, but she won’t let me speak.

Thank God I browsed the Internet for more details. Might warn my other classmates just in case they receive the same call.

It’s not what you think it is. It’s not even a “SCAM”. If you guys are open minded you will definitely know and understand what really is going on out there. You think “poorly”… That’w why some people don’t get rich because they do think like a poor people. It’s not a “fraud”. If you are in a business side of the world. You are definitely suit for this.

This certain gay KYLE PLATERO called me just last November 5, inviting me to attend the brainstorming/business meeting at Village Inn in Cabantuan City. He first called my friend who was a TV reporter for TV Patrol then my friend referred me to him.

This GAY is obviously eloquent and had the nerve to fool me even if I said that I’m an editor for an International Publishing house. That should ring the bell that I am no simpleton for his MO. Maybe he’s that desperate!

He gave me the same MO as everybody else here. He’s a PROJECT DIRECTOR looking for 3 people to help him out with the “Healthcare Business” and together, we will be the PIONEERS. Can you imagine that!?

PLEASE PEOPLE. They may use different names and numbers but the MO is still the same. If you want to earn real money, apply for a job. Unless you are a magnanimously bright professional, a company won’t come to you just to offer you a high-paying job.

I received a call today saying the same things that most of the people commented here. She said she got my number from my school and they were looking for student leaders. I got excited and I believed it because I am really a student leader and it’s an opportunity for me to enhance my skills. But then I began to wonder. Sino ba naman ang matinong tatawag ng 8:00 pm to think na she’s from an international company. She told me that I should wear a corporate attire, and I should not be late because they’re following the American time. After the call, I texted her asking for more details about their program and a proof na hindi SCAM ito.. But then no reply and no email received from her. I also research for the company that she said but I found nothing. I started to search for the address, good thing I found this site. Thank you for this information.

i got a call last Tuesday night 11.09.10. from marisiel dela cruz 09282513225 it was quite loud on the background and in a hurry voice that I couldn’t understand her well. what i heard though was they’re “us based company” didnt mention the company name, and i was referred by april lazaro (my friends sister) , she asked me if where i’m connected right now and I told her what is my current job, I even asked if I can bring a job seeking friend along she said that it is exclusive so i’m surprised what makes me so qualified, i asked what to bring she said just a valid ID,i wonder no resume or any credential. Then i said ok ill be free on fri (which is today) and she asked if i could come @ 6:30 and i agreed she said to me since im working with i mentioned company she expect me not to cancel. she gave me 20th floor octagon bldg san miguel ave ortigas as there address. end of the call. after 2 days she gave a ring again to confirm if im coming, i said yes until now since i’m not sure where exactly is octagon i googled it then there is this blog saying that is scum..i texted my friends sis by the way to verify and she said i should come..i guess ill just give it a try.. ill just continue my story..

meron din tumawag sa akin, kanikanina lang. name’s gerard kho. he talked very fast, and was making an appointment for me this monday. he knows my school and my course. dammet. and he seemed convincing. he said he got my info from an alumni. dammet.

buti na lang i stumbled upon this. i researched his number. thank you!!!

thanks mr. gerard you made my afternoon interesting.

oh god! same thing here, just now. thank you so much for posting this. i’m not going to that scheduled interview. no way! it doesn’t even sound like a job for a graphic artist.

SAME OLD STORY

A girl named JOY ARCILLA called me last November 15, 2010 at 8:41pm to be exact telling me to come to their Company Address which is located at 15th Floor #41 Teleperformance Building., San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Pasig City or 15th Floor Octagon Building., San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Pasig City. She also gave me a landmark which is at the back of Hypermarket in SM Megamall. Like you guys, she scheduled me for an interview, she asked me to choose between Tuesday and Wednesday and I chose Wednesday (Today), then she set for the time, it was 3:00pm sharp. She told me also to bring a valid ID, wear a business attire and be professional not to cancel our meeting and be on time. I asked what’s the name of their company and she kinda hesitated but told me anyway that the name of their company is HEALTH TECHNOLOGY COMPANY. Actually, everytime I got a call from a certain company, I usually check their website first. So, I googled the name of the company but there we’re no exact results and opted to type the complete address instead. And I’m totally shock finding a lot of results that the company is a SCAM. Thank God for the Internet! So, I just sent a message for Ms. JOY ARCILLA telling her that I’ve googled about their company and I’m not interested anymore that I would like to cancel our appointment. And I’m not surprised if she won’t text me back. Anyway, just so you know, here’s her number 09063083609.

Thanks for this site. Tulad nyo guys I had the same story. May the Lord God Bless to those people who are behind this scam (wag na sana nilang gawin pa sa iba, whatever they did would most likely brought curiosity sa lahat at sa mga nangangailangan talagang i-grab ang opportunity, kung scam man ito sana wag na nilang pagpatuloy). Piece of advice lang, kung kailangan talaga nila ng employee/staff/etc they should post a job hiring on their site. Who are these people? Beware nalang po, this is the number of whosoever contacted me (0923-9590901), she wants me to meet with Christine XXXX.

salamat po sa info. as in kaka-tawag lang sa’kin ng lalaki (Myk Ballo ang name). pinapa-punta ako…
hinahanap ko po kasi yung name ng company then nakita ko ‘to.. salamat talaga!

same hir kakatawag lng sakin a while ago isang lalaking pangalan eh Myk Ballo, he knew who i am and where i graduated, cgro dahil sa resume ko n nkapost sa net.. well after reading this i cancelled the so called appointment at the 15 flr. where i definitely would waste time kc ndi nmn ako mahilig sa ganyan recruitment stuff.. so thanks to the net..

well here’s the number that he used to call me:
09052922258

Thanks for this,,, I don’t have to waste my time actually going there… Being lectured about their reputable company and then being convinced to sell their products.. This is a business opportunity? Really? If it is… then it should start with transparency right? Why do you have to deceive people who might have more important things to do.. Get a real job!!!!

The name of the girl who contacted me is Katrina, sent SMS message using this number 0915-4851603 and called me with this number 0999-4654025. The company name used was US Biotechnology Company and that I was referred by IBM, a company I never worked for in the past.

They would end their conversation with this… “You sound very professional over the phone so I expect you to be professional and attend our meeting.”

MESSAGE to those who were scammed and those who were almost fooled…

The law of karma is perfect.. Everyone gets what they deserve…

Good thing I researched. I don’t have anything against Nu Skin because we use it before and I love the tinted moisturizer but selling it is not for me. Thanks!

I asked for the job description and Mike Ballo did not elaborate with it. He said he will talk about it in the office.

OK thanks again!

Hi! thnx for the info.. I also received a phone call a while ago, SAME STORY! I was a DLSU fresh grad and already have a job. YES, he knows my name but sounded not that PROFESSIONAL to me. I’m not professional either but he made a mistake! HE DID NOT GET MY INFO FROM OUR UNIVERSITY as he was saying. I concluded that for a reason that he confirmed my major as Communication which is NOT! I think he was just looking in our YEARBOOK where I asked for a reprint in our university because I did NOT major COMMUNICATION! Still, I don’t know if this is a scam or not, and I’m not against to this but their way of getting an employee/staff is very intriguing . Also, they don’t even have a website! FYI, most applicants today DO BACKGROUND CHECK! and BTW, thnx ADMIN for sharing. God Bless!

i just receive a call this afternoon at around 3:30pm, it lasted for just under 5 mins.

same script:

bring id,

be in corporate attire

the location is at the octagon center san miguel avenue ortigas pasig city

the caller’s name is KEVIN OCOMA

his number is 09167290404

looking for junior executives

he said that the company’s name is NSIE, if im not mistake

it came from a health industry daw

and he also knows my details (school, name)

when i ask him to just to text me the infos like the address, etc… he said he can’t bec he is rushing to a meeting

GOOD THING I SEARCHED THE NET AND READ ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS SITE.

AND IM TRULY THANKFUL THAT I WASN’T FOOLED BY THESE GOING-TO-HELL PEOPLE.

AND FOR ALL: JUST REMBER “WALA MANGLOLOKO KUNG WALA MAGPAPALOKO”

CHEERS!!!
