I received message from Unice on 7/28/10, she was from PSF or PFF (I couldn't make it out) but she want me to call about jobs her company would have for part/full-time work. The company would be opening a few offices in the area. It sound fishy to me, so I looked the phone number up and the number is for a V. Madkins anyway, why are you using a personnal cell phone if it's a legit company!
I saw another post with a different number, but similar company name. So thanks for the heads up!
I just receive a call from Unique or Unice Masdkins from PFFS Invesment and I scheduele an interview appoiment with her on oct. 28 . The address where I have the appoiment is 3805 Crestwood Parkway suite 100 Duluth Ga 30096. After reading your message, Dee ,I am kind of sheptical if I will go or not at the interview. She was speaking very quiqly and tellim me the same story like she told you.
SO, let me know if you have been at the meeting with her ??
Unless you're interested in trying to sell life insurance as an independent contractor...DO NOT GO! I received a call as well and upon Googling the address, I discovered it's for PRIMERICA! You can research them and figure it out for yourself but I was suckered into attending one of their sessions a while back at another location and they expect for you to sit through a boring presentation about how you can make millions--YEAH RIGHT--but the catch is, you'll need to pay $100 to "JOIN". GTFOH! In today's economy, kids can't even sell candy bars like they use to, so what makes these idiots think that a person can make a profit from selling insurance to people who are barely getting by!
1st clue...you don't receive a call from the actual OFFICE line...2nd clue: You're not given the full name of the company (instead it's--PFF, PPP, P-whatever)...3rd clue: you're told that you'll be attending a "GROUP" informational session or interview.
These "callers", who are independent contractor, post ads in order to act as if "the company is hiring" when in fact, they make money by recruiting you to their team if you JOIN (you're NOT actually hired) and you then, at some point, will eventually have to put together your own team in order to make some type of profit. Smart idea by these SCAMMERS but DON'T BE FOOLED by this...I can't make it any clearer and I hope my rant helps. I need a job ASAP, but I refuse to fall into these types of traps.
Googleisyourfriend: Have you ever heard of them cold-calling people? I got a call a few minutes from a "Diane" something or other from "PSF" about supposed job opportunities with them. I've never replied to any ad in anything, print or online, for a "PSF." Do they just call people out of the blue? At any rate, I was immediately suspicious when she only called me by my first name, and I didn't divulge any info. All she got from me was a sorry, I don't recognize either your name or the name of your company...
Yes, they do make cold-calls. They're in the business of sales and marketing so I'm almost positive that if you've applied for something (even if you know for sure it didn't say "PSF") they may be responsible for it. Another thing that people need to be aware of: if you have friends or family who go out to these types of recruitment's, a lot of times, the contractors who are looking to "build their personal teams" (as I mentioned in my previous post), will have them compile a list of "possible people who may be interested in becoming a part of Primerica" (whether it be to "join the team" or to enroll in ant type of coverage). Your friend or family gets duped into making their jobs a whole lot easier by supplying them with prospects to solicit. There are many tricks marketers pull so you've got to use your better judgment in deciphering what's what when it comes to the job market--more than ever before.
If I could make a living off of calling these people and many others out on their B.S., I sure as heck would make a killing from it:-)
