I guess they just view everything else as "Collateral Damage." I sometimes wonder if they would take money from drug dealers just because it was a source of revenue and not taking into account that it goes against everything they stand for... The sad part is that local chapters of DARE will never see the proceeds from these sales, yet many unwitting consumers will give from their hearts thinking that it will help their own neighborhood.anti.quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068101551781522416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-26236347792564799162008-08-10T14:18:00.000-07:002008-08-10T14:18:00.000-07:00Honesty--Glad this blogged helped ya out!! i was i...Honesty--<BR/>Glad this blogged helped ya out!! i was in the same position..just graduated from college in may and itching to start in the 'real world' lol...good thing this thing existed! <BR/><BR/>--WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-10231728609624712552008-08-02T11:12:00.000-07:002008-08-02T11:12:00.000-07:00Honesty here...My suggestion to do something about...Honesty here...<BR/>My suggestion to do something about this is to email the charity organizations these companies prey on and tell them who they are doing business with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-13872451374123828472008-08-02T10:49:00.000-07:002008-08-02T10:49:00.000-07:00Honesty again...I think I figured out how to beat ...Honesty again...<BR/>I think I figured out how to beat these suckers.

Every time i brought up the company with my trainer her mood changed..she became less talkitive or would beat around the bush. <BR/><BR/>we were outside a CVS in wilton, CT and i believe the manager was receiving complaints about us, my guess is that more and more people are finding out that this is a scam. when the manager would come out, my trainer would speak to him privately...and wouldnt tell me what they were saying...by the end of the day, the manager had told us to not come back!<BR/><BR/>during this day/my last..a gentlemen, thankfully!,came up to me and asked "are you working directly with the charity? or through one of those marketing companies?" i was puzzled because i didnt know why that mattered...he informed me that his own daughter worked for a marketing company and that she racked up 4000 miles on her car, was never reimbursed for ware and tear, or gas, and her pay was not near what she should have been getting. (my trainer, during this conversation, looked at the ground and acted like he wasnt there).<BR/>the man then said is there a lot of "chanting and upbeat music?"..something he wouldnt know unless his daughter really was a part of it!!!<BR/>after he left i went on a short break and had my girlfriend google CHILD SAFETY INC and SCAM...sure enough she confirmed it all for me...although i still had 3 more hours of work with my deceptive trainer!!<BR/>i inquired with her as to why a man would say all that stuff to which she replied "well..not everyone is cut out for this type of work" <BR/>needless to say i enjoyed the last 3 hours only because my trainer was nervous that the man was scaring me off! which in fact was true...but i left work with out quitting and sure enough around 9pm my trainer called to tell me what time to be in the next day...<BR/>i said i didnt think i was going to come in, it wasnt the job for me. she thanked me and hung up. 10 mins later SHE CALLED BACK to ask why! <BR/><BR/>i then proceeded to tell her everything i found out on the internet!! <BR/><BR/>quite unprofessional..but i was heated..she was like "how is it a scam, i get a paycheck" and when i asked about "vicky" i said "have you ever met a vicky? i havent..does she even exist?!" a warranted response from my trainer .."i dont know what to say about that.."<BR/><BR/>everything i read about, i confronted her, to saying i had the exact conversations with her in person that i READ ONLINE! i said i quit and good luck in life.<BR/><BR/>she couldnt give me an answer for anything and said she understood where i was coming from. <BR/><BR/>i wish there was a way to broadcast these types of scams to everyone!!!<BR/><BR/>waste of time. <BR/><BR/>the next day out of curiosity, i submitted a random resume i found online to CHILD SAFETY INC. and got the same email to come in for an interview!...i made an appt. and then didnt show up. this may have been immature...haha. oh well. good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-41647183909285533782008-07-24T19:49:00.000-07:002008-07-24T19:49:00.000-07:00UGH, I got roped in too.

I think the biggest problem is that even though the law does their best to prevent the public from scams like this, they change the company name to dupe more people. I didn't know about this until I googled the company name plus their location (Deer Park, NY) and added the word SCAM to the end of the long winded search string and sure enough there were dozens of the sites that literally quoted my days with them as if they followed me around. Waste of time, waste of gas, waste of money...<BR/><BR/>Overall I'm glad I found this blog and will now call them back tomorrow and cancel the "training" session/third interview. I would like to thank the creator of this blog for helping me come to a logical decision. Second, I've read some of the entries and feel terrible that this scam has gone as far as broken up relationships. Lastly, a piece of advice to future people who want to know about this scam before they get duped: before considering contacting the company for an interview (assuming you call them first), Google [company name + city, state + SCAM] to check. For example, Quantum Deer Park, NY SCAM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-50372044344868262142008-07-18T08:21:00.000-07:002008-07-18T08:21:00.000-07:00Thanks for the heads up.

When I quit and tried to find out what was going on with my pay. I mean I worked at least 30 hours in those three days I wanted my money. Especially since I had made plenty of sales on the 3 days I had worked. I was informed that the leader that I was paired with claimed to have made all the sales. He stated that he sold 35 items and I sold 5. I was truly upset as this really wasn't the case. I have since then contacted the dept. Of labor who is looking into the company. I have also contacted a lawyer. For anyone who would like the contact information for this company. I have a current number for the office which is 1-631-860-0231. And the number for the current manager under Vito Spadafora is Jessica Lopez and her cell phone number is 1-516-315-2628.

I then came back the next day. After watching the indoctrination video, and speaking with the leaders, they were sending me out with some guy. I said when I walked out the door that I was leaving. This jerkoff from the Deer Park location, who looked like a total ass and reeked of cigarette smoke, starts using profanities, saying "I don't give a fuck if you're coming or not, I just have to get the fuck out of here." I laughed to myself, because I knew my hunch was right, and I'm so glad I didn't waste my time.<BR/><BR/>I have a lot more to say, but it's late. I had an interesting run-in today, and went home to check the scam.com link and it's not working currently. Hope that it's not down for good, as that was a great resource. So I found this blog to vent.<BR/><BR/>I think these people are the absolute scum of the Earth. Today, I went to mail some pacakges at the Medford, Long Island, NY post office. The POST OFFICE. As in the GOVERNMENT entity. I saw 3 sheep with the big Fingerprinting banner and I was like, you have to be kidding me... in front of the post office? How could the government allow this? So one girl opened the door for me and made some friendly comment, of course not knowing that I was "in the know." I said thank you, and when I was done went outside, and was accosted by another girl. I said straight out, "I KNOW about Child Safety." So this moron says... "great... high five." I said, "No, I know the bad things." (which really is everything) So she says... "ok... give me a high five... just put your arm up and slap my hand." At this point, she's got the crazy eyes going... she looks absolutely insane, to the point where the hair on the back of my neck stood up. This crazy little bitch grabs my arm to give her a high five... grabs my arm! So I pull away and I just say, "You should be ashamed... I feel sorry for all of you." I walked to my car (which no one had instructed me to move... lol) and obviously they were all standing there laughing at me, but hey, I'm driving a new BMW, and they are peddling falsely advertised merchandise in front of the post office. I'm thinking I might get the last laugh in this situation. I will be checking this blog... if anyone wants to get in touch with me, please let me know. If I need to call someone about the post office affair, I will. It happened today (March 14, 2008) at around 4:40 PM. There was an Asian man in a suit, an Asian girl, and a possibly Hispanic smaller girl (the one who physically touched me). I'm literally afraid of this organization... I'm taking a big chance by putting my name out there. But I will go to any LEGAL means to see this scam toppled.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095150529480002299.post-76384827031333047642008-03-13T12:55:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:55:00.000-07:00yup, I got suckerd in a few years ago, by Vito Spa...yup, I got suckerd in a few years ago, by Vito Spadafore. I thought it was a great thing when I went for the interview, they even played dumb when I asked if they knew anything about Nine-Zero (another marketing company I had worked for), ends up, it was their sister company (has since gone under). While I was sitting waiting to be interviewed, Vito had his team leaders (the other blood suckers out to use you to make a quick buck) ask and talk to each other about fingerprints in the system, and how little "molly sue" has been found and you can update her file. SUCH LIES! I honestly did not mind standing outside and meeting all sorts of people, my problem is, I talk and talk, and wasn't making sales, so all these other people were advancing and I was getting stuck. He asked us to work on THANKSGIVING, and then again on black friday (the day after) and said that if we work Wed-Fri we would get a bonus, I did not work on thanksgiving, but I know a few people who did, and did NOT get any sort of bonus. The next day (black friday) I worked my rear off, training two new-comers and selling EVERY item I had! He said he'd pay me Monday.<BR/>Monday I had a dr's appointment (and had told Vito about a month prior and reminded him daily during the previous week). I told him I had to stay local and leave by 3:00. He ended up putting me out in Queens, and gave me crap about leaving early. I quit after I made it out to Queens, why I went out there and wasted my gas and time, I don't know, I just didn't want to start a big fight. We were told we had to pay for parking, and I wasn't about to. So I called and spoke with Vitos boss (can't remember his name, and he has since left- so I've been told) he tried to talk me into staying, I realized after my DR. Apt that one of the toys had fallen out of the box (I had given to my partner that day) so I went to the office to drop it off and pick up my check, and just talk things out. Vito told me that my sales weren't good, and he wasn't happy with how I reacted. I told him that's fine, I would like my check (well cash).. he didn't have it. He said he would mail me a check on the following Wednesday. It has been over 2 years, I still haven't recv'd a check. I have called, faxed, mailed, emailed, even REAPPLIED trying to get paid. That scumbag owes me over $300.00 and I will never see that money!<BR/><BR/>Just beware of this place! tell everyone you know about it!<BR/><BR/>Everytime a solicitor comes into my office I tell them about it, because most of those companies are tied together. I've even gotten into fights with people I see promoting D.A.R.E or T4T, I'll ask if they work for child safety and I'll ask for Vitos number (cell) because he's since changed it. but they never give it to me, and I can't take off of work to go up there and get it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
