Water Purifier Used By Scammers to Fool Job Applicants

Beware job applicants, if you have seen some job advertisement looking for secretary, account executives, or supervisors in flyers without any address or using cellphone numbers in their flyers be careful there is a huge possibility that it is a scam, there are some businesses that act like a legitimate company looking for employees like secretary, supervisors or other position in the company but the truth is it's all just scam. Note: even if they are advertise in the newspapers don't trust too much, even if they used complete business name, still you have to watch out, you might be fooled into thinking that they are hiring you, waisting your time and personal money.

So how to identify that it is a scam.

When you apply for the job vacancy, they are like a legitimate company they will give you examinations, interviews, seminars, even if you failed they will give you a chance to pass the exam or train you again.

They say to be able to be hire you have to sell at least one of their products, there is a huge possibility that it is a water purifier, you have to sell at least several products, they will say that you are being tested if you are good in socialization, and good in business.

Next they will ask you to look for other members, at least recruit 2 or more people to sell other products, and they same recruiting strategy is will be done to them, they have to sell products to be able to be hired in the company (saying there are several openings in the companies), but it's all just a scam they don't have any interest in hiring the applicants they just want them to sell products (water purifier).

The product cost around 2,500 pesos or more, but the truth is it cost around 500 pesos and below, you will have at least several hundred pesos for the commission for the fake products, and they will commend you for being a great seller, saying you are getting closer to get hired.

They don't use real names, it's all just nicknames, such as Mark, Cindy, Ruth, Sarah, Mike and other first name, and take note, even the name of your boss is just a nickname, no full names or regular phone numbers, there is a huge possibility that you will not be even to see him personally.

Again please be vigilant don't get fooled, if you already applied for a company that used they same strategy there is a huge possibility that you are just waisting your time.
