Unknown phone number

This is a marketing scam.  

Under the guise of Kate Gore and Associates or "Millennium"; the person on the other end of this phone number will call you and try to recruit you for a "sales" or "recruiting" position.  BEWARE.

They have obtained your information by the following methods:
1. Placing false help wanted adds in the paper
2. Obtaining Contact lists from local universities

The following information was pulled from "http://ihatemlm.wordpress.com/2008/08/"

"According to multiple websites, when Trek Alliance was shut down, many of the old-timers and higher-ups from Trek went and signed up with Symmetry. They are now using the same illegal tactics for recruitment that the FTC shut Trek Alliance down for.

So who signed up with Symmetry and continued down the MLM path? First and foremost we have Joseph Delisle and Travis Just. Both were included in a lawsuit that the FTC pressed against Trek Alliance for their illegal recruitment practices. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/08/trek.shtm And also here:http://www.mlmsurvivor.com/Trek/trek_wiag.htm

Other known involvement of previous Trek Members can be found here: http://www.rickross.com/reference/trekalliance/trekvisitor.html

And the names: Joseph Delisle, Travis Just, Galadriel Jung, Shawn Cuff, Kate Gore, Stephani VerSteeg

And these are just the people that are listed who transferred. More than likely, and this is my own personal opinion, these people would have a very hard time landing a normal, every day job because of the information available about them just doing a Google.

So where did Symmetry get it’s idea from to start calling and offering employment to unsuspecting college students? Where did Symmetry International get the idea that it was ok to place false employment ads in the paper? Where did Symmetry get the “fake it ’til you make it”mindset? My guess, from the people above. The most damaging information comes from the FTC’s website:

   The FTC alleged that Trek distributors ran classified ads in the “Help Wanted” sections of newspapers that implied that they were offering salaried positions. According to the FTC, people who responded to the ads were instead given a sales presentation designed to recruit new distributors. The FTC alleged that Trek told recruits that they could earn money by selling products or recruiting, but emphasized that more money could be made through recruiting. The recruits were expected to attend training seminars around the country, purchase hundreds of dollars worth of products so they could enter the program at a higher level, rent desk space in regional offices, and subscribe to phone lines so they could begin recruiting others, all at their own expense. While the company promised monthly incomes ranging from $2,000 to $20,000, the FTC complaint alleged that the vast majority of consumers made less money than they had paid for front-end expenses, and that many made little or nothing. The complaint also alleged that compensation was not sufficiently linked to retail sales, and that Trek did not adequately enforce policies and requirements that were ostensibly designed to assure such a link.

   The FTC charged that Trek’s earnings claims, as well as its claims implying that employment opportunities were available, were false. The FTC also charged that the defendants deceptively failed to disclose that most investors would not make substantial income. Finally, the FTC alleged that the program is a pyramid scheme and most participants lose money. The practices violate federal law, the complaint says. The FTC has asked the court to permanently enjoin the defendants’ deceptive practices and to order consumer redress as final relief in the matter.

What I find most interesting about this is that Symmetry International/Symmetry Direct is employing these exact same recruitment and illegal tactics today! Look at any of the links I have previously supplied and confirm this. They are calling, asking people if they are looking for full or part time employment, and inviting people who need work to job interviews that most definitely are not.

Unfortunately, even if the FTC were to shut them down, these scamsters would find another way to join in with another MLM scam, and to rip people off. Clearly it’s been done before, so why would they stop now?

Rudy Revak, President of Symmetry Corp. is going to have some pretty fancy explaining to do."

Called my home number.  Was very vague about how they got my infomation.  Positions they have dont match with my major.  Asked multiple times for a website and was continually told that there was "no information important to me" on the webset and that I'd be better off going to their office in downtown Cincinnati to get more information and to meet the staff.  Went by the name of Kate.

They did not call me, but they left a post-it note on my car (and every other car in my apartment building's parking lot) advertising a position where I can make "Extra Cash" and says to call "Kate" at this number.

WOW!  I just had an interview with Galadriel Jung this past wednesday and it wasn't an interview at all.  She had a power point presentation ready for me and gave me her sales pitch.  I had a strange feeling about it when she called at like 7 pm and left a very vague message on my voicemail.  When I called her back I asked her what position I had applied for because I didn't remember applying and she couldn't tell me the exact position.  She just stated that they were a newly expanding business and had many positions available so I went in to the "interview".  What a waste of an hour of my life!  Thank goodness I saw threw her little speech and declined any further contacts.
