I received a call from this number with a recorded message giving me the time and attire for an interview, but not the location or their identity. I never applied to this company, and after doing some quick research, it appears to be another scam of many these days. They lure you in for an interview and after gathering a list of references from you, they use these references as leads for their financial advisors to call. The mention of commision based labor is equally familiar with months of hard labor for what amounted to nothing.
Many companies listed on the popular job sites seem to function along these lines.

I recieved a call from this company that I did not pickup, the caller did leave a message. ( I recognized the name of the company, my friend recently took an interview for this company and as part of the process, he had to collect and submit a list of references with phone numbers)
The caller asked to call back at his extension if I was interesting in a position.
Since I previously spoke to my friend, I have some idea of what is going on. Techinally this company isn't seeking new employees, but rather looking for independent subcontractors to work baaed on commission selling financial products such as life insurance. That is just a way of saying that they are seeking people to work for them for free, on which they don't have to pay a salary, wage, benefits, taxes, or Workers Compensation insurance.
Being previously employed in as an actual employee in a major insurance company I am wary of this type of employer, usually commission based work, if not structurally the same, is just as ineffective as pyramid schemes, in that very few people are able to make a decent earning. I assume the whole "list of references" ploy for the interview is to get more potential people to take the bait and "work" for this company (esspecially in a tough economy).
I hope they do not forward my name and number to any other call lists.
