In my book that is a home invasion. Were you able to go after them for assault on your child and wife?

I took a survey a couple of weeks ago and now I am getting bugged constantly by people calling me (which I don't answer btw). You people need to get a better job...move on to your next victim. My phone has blocked this number!!!

Scammers...Scammers...Scammers....

Maybe YOU should try and remember you are self inviting yourself into people lives when they don't want you.

Being a human is one thing.. But don't expect to get anything less than cr@p from people YOU CHOSE TO ANNOY DAILY..

That's like a garbage man complaining about the smell.. It's part of the job sweetheart.  
If you can't handle the heat... get outta the kitchen.

The more cold callers that get the hint, maybe the public can have their phones back!

As someone who's worked on the other side of the line, I'd strongly encourage you to treat us like human beings. We're working 40 hours a week just like you are to make ends meet. If you feel no inclination to buy, just say so.

Bottom line--the person on the other line is a human being, just try remember that and keep your cool.

Cheers. =)

go f*** yourself bud! get a life and better f****ng job!

I had a guy stop by my house yesterday with the 2 question air quality survey. Gave him my name & number and didn't think anything of it. The number called today saying I won the daily prize (wine glasses, BBQ kit or car kit) and asked when they could come by, I made the appt for 330pm. It's now 430 and no one came by. After reading all these posts, I think I'll be passing on the "short" demo and prize!!

These people come to you house with cards with free give aways. Then following day the call from 604 520 1742 a BC  number.
They tell you that this is an air purification system and would like to show you and then set up a time.

When you ask them for more info the are vague and say you will see at appointment.

This person called my husband last week while I was away.  Three calls later, they are coming to help our family with asthma problems.  I met the lady at the door and told her to take a hike and not come back and to please take our name off the list.  Wouldn't let them talk to my husband again.  They called about an hour later wanting to set up another appointment.  Again wouldn't talk to me.  But insisted on talking to my husband.  

Just an aside to my previous post. When I Goggled "HealthTek Entpr" I was sent to this site. What does that tell us?? SCAM SCAM!!  BC RCMP be prepered to investigate :)

I answered a telephone "survey" after being told there was "no obligation" Next thing I know. I get a call telling me  I won a "random" draw and won a prize. After I selected a prize, I was asked if I was home and could one of their reps come and deliver the "prize" and... after a sales spiel, accept the product into my home, AND then try to sell it to my friends and neighbors. I very politely declined at that point, and suggested they pass my "PRIZE" on to somebody else.

It was less than a week later that a very nice young man showed up at my doorand tried the same story, except this time he actually gave me a paper ticket telling me my name was in a "Draw I gave them my Fax number in hopes it would stop them, but I got FOUR calls in one day. I finally answered the call in hopes of telling them to leave me alone.tellingl them to leave me alone. When I told the caller to take me off the list I was told "you don't have to be rude, YOU agreed to the survey"  Hmmm who was rude?? After I told them to NOT call me back, I called the number in hopes of speaking to somebody in charge. to tell them to STOP  and of course I got the same person.  When I repeated that I had received four calls in one day, not counting the ones I got over the weekend, she AGAIN told me I didn't have to be rude. Then she tried to suggest that "if somebody knocks on your door, maybe you should listen to what they say before you give out your phone number: Then she proceeded to talk to me like I was a child who didn't know how to behave with adults.
I asked her what her name was, and her first response was that she already told me that when she answwred the call.I asked her to repeat it it, and she then repeated out to me like I didn't understand. Her name is MARLA. (See, I got it right). The first time I talked to her was shortly after my last call from MARLA at 8:56 PM MT. I called back not long after that. I have phone records that show I have received calls from HEALTHTEK  every day since I innocently answered a phone survey.

I usually ignore calls from businesses like you, especially after I was told there was "no obligation" then I am asked to sell your product for you. I can ignore that. BUT I do not tolerate being told not to be "rude" when I ask your "caller to pleas not call me any more. When I called back, I tried to be polite, and explain. and she told me again that "you don't have to be rude". Is this the person you want answering your phones, or making your "no obligation" calls? I hope not!

As it stands right now, I am reporting Health Tek to the BC. Better business Bureau, and the BC RCMP for telephone scamming.

I wish you all and Miss Marla luck in all your future scams. Just don't try to call me!!

My Dad answered the door, where there was a man representing Healthtek, doing a survey on air quality.  The man asked 3 questions, the first being about having allergies, the other 2 didn't even relate to air quality.  Then he asked my Dad for his phone # and whether he's married or not.  The guy also gave my Dad a ticket for a draw (which I now have beside me).  It says "You are now registered.  Shopping Spree Winner!  $20,000 CASH SHOPPING SPREE.  Plus Special Prizes Given Daily."  If this draw were legit, there should be a lottery license # on the ticket.  Plus, Healthtek isn't even accredited with the BBB, despite being in business since 1928!  The whole thing reeks of a scam.  Thanks to all of you who have vented your negative experiences with Healthtek on this site.  You have really helped to inform me and my family.

Was there a Derek Smith who worked there, Nicolas?

Funny I worked there for about a month and didn't get paid a dime. Get real job your a independent contractor which means they don't have to pay you s*** or provide you with benefits. Plus they markup their prices ridiculously get a real job!!!!!

They scammed my wife took our vaccum left theirs she got denied for financing yhey came back to get theirs but wouldnt give ours back yhey made several attempts threw ours and broke it stormed into my house pushed over my 1 yr olx 7 mnt pregnant wife and took their stuff called the police they bailed out the back door and jumped the fence to get away their lucky I didnt get here
while they were here

Health-mor has been around since 1928...not the building you went to for an interview.

I work for a company that promotes the use of the filterqueen products and I don't understand how people get so upset!! Are you upset by us showing you a product that helps with breathing problems, asthma, COPD , etc? Or maybe you're mad at the fact that you've wasted literally THOUSANDS of dollars on cleaning supplies that aren't doing their job. You like to dust and clean all the time? OK that's fine and I respect that, however you can't be mad at a product/company that HELPS PEOPLE SAVE MONEY! Everytime you buy a cleaning system that isn't a FQ you're wasting money, every time you clean you're wasting time. So who are you really mad at?

I got a call from this number, also they put an ads for a career in Sales.  With all of this negative comment.  I don't feel comfortable answering. I am not interested with their expensive products either.

You have been brain-washed. If a company is not willing to say who they are, why would you trust them. Not to mention lying about being on the BBB. Not to mention using a scam to do a sales pitch & not giving the prize that was won unless you listen to the pitch. I had a company do this to me once, never again will I put myself through that.

Wow can't say a whole lot about this company ( Healthtec Enterprises Inc ) which is owned by Filter Queen, which has so many other branches with different names, Health-Mor, HMI Industries, BFA Inc, Air-Flow Technologies, Sound-Filtration, Country-Air, Pioneer-Industries.. and the list goes on and on. Saw an ad on Craigslist for a position in sales and got an interview. The building looked legit on the outside, but once you enter it's bare with a small waiting room, small meeting room, a glass window, and then a small office that's decorticated with all but one framed picture of their amazing product, the Filter Queen. This product has supposedly been around for 80 years..or made to believe it has.. not sure why barely anyone knows about it.. oh probably because it's sold door to door through a sketchy approach. Keep in mind that this building is their corporate office... Another red flag went off when the interviewer took a phone call and started talking about nothing to a supposed salesman that's working for them. The desk had nothing on it but the telephone. People could be heard yelling from upstairs where their call centre/telemarketing is located. They won't give you any sort of benefit because in your contract you'll be hired on as Independent contractor with no mention of that anywhere except the contract.

These people never like to give a clear answer to your question, it always seems like they dance around it which is so annoying. The whole job is sketchy to begin with, the telemarketers call up people telling them they won a price, and give them options. Before this can even happen they get their victims numbers from surveys they do that are door to door, or through bogus scratch tickets in the mail, and air quality surveys. After the person tell them what they want as a prize the telemarketer will tell the victim(usually old people) that they have to send someone over to their house to deliver the prize and to sit through a 90 minute demonstration on their product. If the victims don't want it they are taught to leave all the dirt back onto the floor and make a bigger mess. The door to door salesmen are also taught to be pushy, and have to call their boss in the middle of the demo to try and close to deal. The salesmen are not even reimburse for their gas they use. Their orientation/training isn't paid for.. they even tried to make it sound like it was a good thing you weren't getting paid to do training, most companies supposedly make you pay for training...yaah ok. The moral of the story is don't work for Healthtek or any affiliate that sells the Filter Queen, Majestic, and Defender.

I just thought I would post this comment. I had a chance to see this page before a presentation by Healthtek and although I did feel a little uneasy about my appointment I did decide to go through with it, mainly because I had promised I would. After sitting through a presentation I did feel that the products were amazing, but just way to expensive. However after meeting a very considerate and nice representative of this company I now feel some of these comments are absolutely appalling. The young lady that was here actually reminded me of my daughter and I was saddened to think that this young lady might be reading some of these comments. I am sure that not everyone has had the same experience with me, but calling someone a moron for demanding a sliver of respect or saying that everyone in this company should be put in jail because they call you to much is unbelievable. This is the first time I have left a comment online, but in this case I thought it my duty to tell the public that I imagine the people you read on this site are the few(still to many) that have had negative experiences with this company. I am hear to tell you that there are those like me that have actually had good experience. On a side note I would like to thank Anastasia for her charming and informative presentation. Keep up the good work!!! Sorry again for dog hair, lol.

I apologize.

Respect! STOP!! harassing people u f****** moron.

That is true, but we are human beings as well and deserve some degree respect!

These people just want to sell u a vacuum cleaner, tell them to go f*** themselves.

Had a girl come to the door this evening...same pitch with the nonchalant quick questions being asked...came inside and looked up the Healthtek web page only to find it was another one of those sales gimmicks as others have experienced.  I went outside and approached her - had her give me back the info card she had with my name and number...so am hopeful not to receive the annoyong sales calls...well I guess my name is out of the $20,000 shopping spree...oh well, I can shop with my own money :)

Someone came to our door doing an air quality survey, which took a few seconds so we did it and thought that was it.
A week or so later "Healthtek Ent" started calling our land line (we don't answer numbers we don't recognize and the person for the survey never mentioned this company name). They called 16 time!! Finally I picked up and when asked why they had called so many times and never left a message she said "oh we figured nobody was home so we kept trying" and I said we didn't answer numbers we don't recognize. She then says "well I always answer the phone when it rings" in a snarky tone (good for you smarty pants).
She tells me we have won a daily prize draw and give me 2 options. I ask her if we have to do anything to claim the prize and she says "oh no it's free".
After deciding on a time she tells me that when the person comes they will have a product to show me and they hope that I will tell my friends about it. I said forget the gift I'm not interested if I have to listen to a product demonstration and then SHE HUNG UP ON ME!
SO frustrating that they called 16 times and then this crap!

These people need to be arrested and put into jail for what they do. I don't understand why our Gov. agencies allow these as****** to continue to harass people and lie to them about a prise they won just to get into your home.  Healthtek Enterprise is not listed with the BBB and this is what had me concerned. Once I phoned back, I was treated very rudely by a man named Derek,Paul and some other as*****unlike the first call I took from a polite young lady. People be forwarned because our Gov. doesn't give a crap about whose pretending to run a business scam in Canada and finding a way to enter your home!!!

What a joke. Healthtek is totally dishonest!!  When I need a vacuum I el go to a store. Shame on you people.

Pissed off with vacuum sales people lying outright.  Tell people what your selling and quit with the gimmicks. If we want one we will ask if not, get lost !!!

I saw the add for this job on Craigslist yesterday, as anyone looking for a job I applied it seemed great! The last called me this morning and offered me an interview at 8pm this evening ok, first that's weird and seems pretty late for an interview. Second - she was rude and basically hung up on me before I had said bye. I decided that I would go anyways.. Then I got home and I thought that I would look up the company to make sure everything was legit but then I realized she didn't say the name of the company and just gave me the Address - coquitlam location faucet road. I looked up the phone number because not much came up with the address and got all this information I have decided I will NOT be going to this job interview as I am not a telemarketer or annoying person. I tell these people to f**k off all the time however we all have to keep in mind it's not 100% these people that are calling you's fault - they work for the company like anyone else they need a job and money to live. Legit good jobs are hard to come by now a days.
