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). (((

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.

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!

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…
