I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE

IF IT LOOKS LIKE A SCAM, SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM, IT IS A SCAM!  WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR POSITIONS, SERIOUS ONES AND I AM REALLY FEED UP WITH THESE SCAMS.  WISH THEY WOULD GET A REAL JOB.  I THINK 99% OF THE SCAM COME FROM CRAIGSLIST (NO FAULT OF THERE'S) AND
IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE CRAIGSLIST HAS "REAL" JOBS..   THANKS FOR THE INFO.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL!  AND ME....YIKES...IT'S TOUGH OUT THERE.

it's Jan 21 and this little scam is still being banged around - got an email from Mark today with the same exact pitch - I used to work for Bisys here in Atlanta, providing Primerica reps with the materials (series 6/7) they would need to enter into the financial sector for this BS - while technically, it's not a scam per-se, it's a multi-level marketing croc of s*** - I know, I dealt with enough Primerica reps to know to steer clear of these guys.

After reading the comments, I contacted Primerica corporate office to verify whether he works for the organization and my concerns regarding the call to me. I will post my finding once I receive them. Thanks for sharing.

How are they getting cell numbers?

I got a call from this guy today. Didn't want to tell me the name of his business or what his company does.

I asked him... "What sort of positions are you hiring for?"
he said..."If you read my email you would see that I am looking from entry level to management"
I responded... "Yes, I read that, but I mean what sort of management and entry level?"
He basically said sales and said he works for in the financial industry. Not very specific.

Yep. This guy is still up to the same time wasting stuff. Thanks guys. You saved me a wasted trip out to one those dumb Primerica seminars. Already been to one. Total scam last time and still a total scam. Of course he didn't tell me what company this time either. Still looking for a job I guess. oh wells.

Well to be honest, it seems like a lot of your are misinformed about what the guy is doing. Let me try and break it down as much as I can, but keep in mind what this man is doing is perfectly legal..

This is is a sales agent who works for Primarica through multi level marketing insurance. Which is known as a pyramid scheme which is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than from any real investment or sale of products or services to the public.. Now let me break that down to in layman?s terms...This man is a independent agent who sells insurance for Primarica and gets a cut from what he sales. Then he recruits people to sell insurance and he gets a cut from what you sell because he recruited you...Understand now? The up front fee is for your business license.

I recently posted my resume on Craig's List.
This is what I received:

I'm expanding my business in the Atlanta area
looking for professional people either part or full
time. If you have a recruiting, sales, retail, human
resources, management background, call me.

I have interview sessions Monday, Tuesday 10am
or Tuesday 7pm. Call with a time that is good for you.

Don't reply via email, call me.

Nowhere does it state what he does or whom he represents.  Thus, another misleading employment scam.

again guys,,,my name is mark thompson, if i called you, i got your number from one of my agents that are working part time and they probably met you somewhere or got your number from a recruiting agency or temp service. i just make the phone call and leave my name & number if you have an interest in working part or full time to call me. if i dont hear from you, i never make more than 2 calls with a message with my name & number. there's no mystery here, im expanding, our company is expanding and we hire & train new agents to work within our company across north america. i do interview sessions 6 times a week going over everything about our company, etc, etc,,,please, if you have a question, call me,,,i would be more than happy to answer and question or help you the best i can,,

A manCalled me also today. Extremely unprofessional and evasive. Believe he garnered my information from a well known online resume site, applying for other qualified specific employment. He was nasty, crude and overbearing; certainly NOT a good representative for Primerica. I will be calling them on Monday to make a personal complaint to 'his' management, and play for them my recording i use for 'quality assurance'.

I welcome your input on this post also "Mark', enlighten me as to what I can do.

scam...

I just got a call from this bozo today too. Thanks for the info as I won't waste my precious time in looking for a real job.

Mark Thompson also made completely unsolicited and unwelcome calls to my cell number.  At no point did he properly identify himself or his business.

Obviously a scam artist of some variety.

I got the same call as well and did go to the presentation for the company's expansion (twice he has called)...but I never met Mark personally.  He shockingly  was not there during the presentation I attended...probably still busy making calls!  

If you do want to check out this company's presentation, you should know it IS sales, and don't be led astray.  And second, don't bring your WALLET or CHECKBOOK or credit card in during the presentation...leave them in the car.  They want your $ to start your own independent little consulting operation.  You will never be employed by them.

I personally think that if this sales guy was proud of the company he was growing, then he would've told every single person that he calls the company name and that this was a chance of a lifetime to join a great company.

Got the same voicemail as the rest of you and NO Mark Thompson did not state his company name but I could tell it was for some type of sales position from the tone of his voicemail. I LOVE Google!!

Mark,

What a way to show your professionalism while representing your company.  I highly recommend you consult with your legal team at your home office before making threats to people as it relates to slander.  It is your company making calls or sending emails out to people on the job boards, etc.

Mark for someone who is trying to recruit people to work for Primerica, you seem a bit agreesive in your responses.  Specifically with Coffeeman.  Where do you get "Slander" from his response??  Primerica is a bigbox organization which many people know about and are not interested in pursuing employment with the company.

You should perhaps try a different tactic and sell your company.  After all, you are the one reaching out to these candidates with little to no information.

Becareful with call from 404-333-9282 is noting but a scam!!

coffeeman,,,,,this is mark thompson,,,a vp with primerica, the big financial company in duluth,,i believe you have posted bogus information on this site & request you delete it before if get our home office attorneys to pursue slander. i always, if you ever talked to me, would've told you exactly who i am and who i work with, please remove this false information, thank you

absolutely this is primerica, the #1 rated financial services marketing company in north america !! my name is mark thompson,,and yes we're expanding around atlanta, many of the people listed above have either never call me back or not interested in improving their career. i always call people back, have been for 15yrs,,,

This is related to Primerica Financial Services no doubt a sales position for insurance and financial services.

I got an email asking for calling to that number too. Ive been looking for a job online, who is this guy????

Also received a call from this Mark person with this number...same message as stated received in an above post by someone else. Anyone ever find out any info?

I received the same voicemail. Is this a hoax?

call and voicemail left from A Mark Thompson. He left message that just asked if I was still looking for career opportunities. I have been using multiple career services online, so I imagine he retrieved info from one of these sites. In the message he never claims the business he represents.
