I got dragged into it the same way, a high management position great pay on craigs list too. I worked for J.D and Kurt I was told all the same things, but the kept dragged me around telling me they wanted me as there partner. When i started to quit because i lost my apartment I still have two maxed out unpaid credit cards from trying to live and feed myself. I lost my cell phone everything I had was sucked and gone within two months!! The most I ever got from them was a few meals, and 200$ when I left after all the trips I did. Staying up all night making my goals in bad areas. Total scam and the fact that this creeps left girls go out and do this is ridiculous. I had to stay in a bad motel that had cameras in the room I found them and the motel guy got mad when he noticed i had found them. I called Kurt and J.D saying I need to call the cops but they told me not to, because i needed to stay on track and sell bottles and just to get out of there.I hate them everything was going alright in my life until I found them, i was promised so highly I didn’t want to believe the truth when my mom kept telling me it was a scam.

I came across their job post on craigslist Phoenix under the company name AXIS. I submitted my resume, was contacted and set up an interview. I came across this site before I went. Thank you. Below is the email I sent cancelling my interview. You may find it rather amusing, possibly disturbing, but I feel much better.

July 12, 2010

Dear Shay

I regret to inform you that I will not be keeping my scheduled interview for tomorrow 7/13/2010 at 4:30 PM. As I was researching your company to prepare myself for tomorrows interview I was fortunate enough to come across numerous web sites and hundreds of complaints exposing your company for the scam it really is.

I am thankful for that, and you and your company should be as well. You see, I am SO fucking sick and tired of being screwed over by people like you and your company. Sick of being scammed, fucked over, lied to and taken advantage of. I am at the end of my fucking rope. I was excited about my interview tomorrow, about the job offer and openings we had discussed, and had I showed up tomorrow only to learn it was a scam…? I fear that would have pushed me over the edge, caused me to snap…go postal…and then you and many others wouldn’t have made it home to dinner tomorrow night, and I would be behind bars for a very long time.

So, thank god (seriously, you should), that I’m the type of person to do my research…and thank god, there are people to expose scam artists like you and your company. And as you continue on, lying to and misleading innocent people…I would pray…religiously, often, because one day you are likely to piss off the wrong person at the wrong time and not be so lucky. Something to think about.

Sincerely,

K Ambriz

Another Scentura scam is happening in Cherry Hill. The address is
2428 Route 38 Cherry Hill, New Jersey 08002. The first training date is Tues. July 6 from 11-5 pm. The person who does the talking tells all the candidates to unlearn everything and not listen to their family member who talk down on them. Then he brought in the perfume and explain that all the real brand is ripping people off and that a bottle of perfume only take $1.35 to manufacture. I hope you can do something about it

The guy in this video is in an office here in Jacksonville. I just didn’t feel right meeting this guy & being in their office. Things just didn’t add up. The guy you interviewed in the 2009 interview is the guy from my “interview.” He cussed, had rock n roll music, and during the 2nd “interview,” he actually had the nerve to tell the 10-12 ADULTS to turn off their cell phones. RED FLAG!!! I walked out. Came home and happened across your youtube link I have above. The “new” office is at 2980 hartley blvd ste 5. The advertised on craigslist the same thing you said. The “name” of the company is AMG. I don’t remember the guys name, but it is him!!! He still dresses the same.

John Mattes does such a great job exposing these idiots for who they really are!
I wish you had your own National TV Show dedicating the show premise on getting all these losers off the streets and behind bars..it would be such a HUGE hit!
We’ve all been hit up by these losers at Gas Stations, Shopping Center Parking Lots, etc.
Great job John!

I saw your piece on Scentura. I just left the 2nd interview for a company called Prestige. After looking at a website they gave us I saw the Scebtura name and googled. That is when I saw your piece. I would like to you to know that Prestige is the same company they just changeed their name. After seeing this I will not be going back. I live in Saint Louis missouri

Scentura strikes again! There is a branch in Hayward, CA calling themselves “Empire Management.” I found it on craigslist and after the 2nd interview I decided to do some research and instantly I found a dozen stories identical to what I went through. Larry Hahn is a scam artist. My first day of training starts Monday. Needless to say, I will not show up. I feel sorry for the rest of the saps who don’t know what they’re getting into. The number is (510) 886-2110 and the address is 24565 Soto Rd, Hayward, CA., if anyone is wondering.

Yea the “Axis Inc” A.K.A Pinnacle Systems Group-HBH and Maxum Industries Inc in Tempe, AZ tried to Recruit my girlfriend into doing it. They never explained the job nor what she would be doing. Soon after hearing about this from her I found this company to be shady, After a phone call to their Local Tempe office ( 602-414-0357 ) I found out they were worse than I expected. I couldn’t even push the information I wanted out of the lady on the phone named ” Ashley”, then after that she has the nerve to ask me to come in for a interview. ” We are interviewing over 300 applications and Monday is the only day for interviews.” This Ashley didn’t even want to hear about my qualifications, didn’t even want me to send my resume.

Seriously Shady business, go at your own risk…So far all the information points at disaster and the more exposing we can do the better informed people can be about these horrible scams.
