A sales person came to our house today at 1:30 PM for the free vacation package. You have to sit through a two hour presentation and the sales person has to call Scott or Darren (the managers/supervisors) from your phone before the presentation to prove that they arrived at your house and at the end of the presentation to prove that they had left after two hours. They ask to use your phone so that the managers can see that the sales rep is calling from the customers residence. The vacation package only covers two nights at a hotel (you have to give a 50 dollar deposit to reserve) if you don't show up for the reservation you lose the 50 bucks. The sales rep pulled out a presentation book stating that the business is accredited by the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Upon checking with the BBB it is a complete lie. They are not BBB approved. The sales rep was nice but they do not treat their employees with respect. To get paid they need to prove that they did the 2 hour presentation. They pay under the table and send their reps to all sorts of unsafe locations where they are not guaranteed to get paid for their gas or their time if they don't do the presentation for a full two hours. As part of the presentation the sales rep has to take the vaccine, make the dust come out, and it goes in your face (to prove their point on how the product works). Be ware.

By the way, the post you are replying to was made over 12 months ago, so you have obviously trawled through all the posts to find one to reply to.

So, why exactly are you posting on here?  The post before yours was on 1st March, so you didn't come across it by accident, you had to input the telephone number.  You appear to be happy with the company and you know the "company"  so why come on to a site which is used to report unknown , unwanted and scam calls.?  The usual reason for positive posts is that they are put on by com pa ny employees or owners to try and make the company look good.  But, guess what?  It doesn't work.

I dont know what the reason your girlfriend told you as to why she didn't complete the equity program but the only reason people don't complet the program is laziness. It's not a program where you sit on your a** and get free machines, you have to work for them, she just got lazy, I've been working at breathe ez homes for over 2 years now and I completed the equity program 4 times, I got 12 free machines that I'm proud to say, helped a lot of my family with their health

same message

hi i hope you ge this message before you come to my place today some thing has come up and we have to go out off town so you can pass my gift to some one else thank you have a nice day

Yes, dumb because I didn't get the name of the company so couldn't check on line or call back to cancel (we have no caller display).  So, being too polite to send him away, we listened to the sales pitch.  It seemed a good product but we didn't feel we had a $3000 problem despite his insistence that we had. We took the 3-day,2-night vacation gift but will now  throw it out.  It is with a company based in Florida that has an equally bad reputation and you need to select your destination choice and date within 15 days - that hadn't been mentioned.The destinations tell you nothing about the actual resort.  I have emailed the company for more info on 5 of the selections but don't expect an answer.

Best thing to do by far is to go through the motions. When they ask for home address give them non existent location explaining it is a new development that I building in. I sent one person out well past Carp, ending up at an entrance to a corn field. Can't wait to do it again lmao.

*paid  Sorry about that!

Also they do not have base salaries. It is all commission and it is a very low rate compared to the rest of the industry. This company is known throughout ottawa and has a bad reputation. You will find it very difficult to make any money selling their products.

Don't take a job with these people. There are way better sales jobs out there. They called me back for an interview after my friend who had just started working there recommended the place. The "interview" ended up being a full day group orientation session, unpaid of course. An interview is NOT the same thing as an orientation. An orientation is training and it is always pairs unless indicated in a contract you sign. Anyway, this job is the adult equivalent of child labour. I walked out of the orientation as I smelled a scam immediately. My friend continued to work for the company and had problems receiving her wages on time, was treated poorly and was trained to do unethical, illegal things she did not feel comfortable with. Not worth it. A lot of younger kids and ethnic minorities were at the "interview". This company prays on people who are vulnerable and perhaps have come into hard times looking for work or who maybe aren't totally aware of Canada's labour laws. Know your worth, you can find a better job and you will.

Hi Adam may be you are right. the reason I am writing you back is that I am gonna work for this company. Please let me know what are the difficulties you faced and why did you leave. Did you get 3500 as a basic pay or just with performance. Please let me know its very important for me. Mail me please  princebajwa@yahoo.com.
Regards

Hi I got a call this morning and asked to be interview in Nepean 80 Bantley Avenue. I went there and told that there will be good base salary and bonus. i have to sell same criticized product. please let me know if that is fraud or not.
Thanks everyone.

hi there i just got the call and made an appointment. i would like to ask you about your experience, can u e-mail me please. cool_mike29@hotmail.com

I worked for this company for two years both in the marketing department (on the phones) and as a sales/advertising representative who went to the appointments, handed out the prizes, and presented the products. Although not an honest or ethical organization by any means, it was not a SCAM. Anyone who receives this phone call WILL be given the gift of their choice at no cost so long as they view the presentation. Obviously the intent here is to sell the units, but it is true that there is no obligation, and nobody is going to take a penny from you if you choose not to buy the system. I completely understand the frustration of receiving marketing calls, but you need to remember that on the other line is- believe it or not- actually a person too. When I worked on the phones for this company, I was 16, living on my own, and trying to pay my bills. I was always friendly and never pushy. Making these calls was how I supported myself. I worked several holidays and often got screamed and cursed at for disturbing people's Thanksgiving lunches and whatnot- something that I didn't urgently want to do for my own twisted pleasure, but that I had to so that I could make my hourly wage and pay my rent. It was wholly upsetting to hear things like "don't you realize it's Thanksgiving?!?!" when I, too, had a family that I would have rather been spending MY Thanksgiving with as well.

I also worked as a sales representative. Once again, the company was not the most honest or ethical, but having already worked there for quite sometime and built friendships with those who ran the show, it was harder for me to see those issues. When I did the demonstrations, they were booked with people like you on the phone. I drove out sometimes an hour or two at a time to get to a presentation, took out my suitcase full of equipment as well as the free gift, put a smile on my face, and rang the doorbells of the people who'd agreed to my stopping by. Again, though, it's a tough concept for people to grasp that the nuisance at the door is actually a human being. People like you who agreed to presentations with the idea in their heads that they'd grab the prize and slam the door in our faces made it really tough for me, a 17 year old girl who worked 80 hours a week through every season on commission, to make a living.

Please try and remember, guys, that no matter how much you hate a company's marketing strategy, the people who work FOR the companies are usually not bad people. If you have a problem with the way  they market things (which you very well might), kindly ask to speak with someone in charge, or report the business on your own time, but please don't take it out on the employees. Please don't curse on the phone or make plans to slam the door in their faces. They are just people who are trying to get by.

You're missing the point: the quality of their products has nothing to do with it - they're breaking the CRTC's rules and have already been found guilty and fined for this. Not only is this NOT the only tactic they have, it's one they're prohibited by legislation from using. There needs to be more severe penalties - the last one they got obviously didn't work. To continue this even after being fined is appallingly crooked. Why would anyone deal with a company that doesn't care about breaking the law? I probably won't get a followup about the prize because I rent, but if you do get that call, they need to be reported to the CRTC.

Received call in Ottawa west end.  Said no thanks.

Just got the second call informing of the prize.  Mentioned the word of mouth advertizing, pick a prize etc.  Then when they asked for my Name and Address I started to ask more questions.  Once I got their name I told her to call back in an hour while I research the company.  She quickly replied "sure I can call you back in an hour" and hung up.  Did my research and found a number of these sites, reference to Filter Queen, prizes, a CRTC fine for telemarketing practices in 2010 etc etc.  

Ready for the callback but seems "Let me research the company first" seemed to do the trick as have not heard from them since.

I just went through the whole thing a week ago, doing a survey and they just called to say I had won a free $500 gift yadda, yadda, yadda.  So I made the appt and then came directly to my computer to search on the name and found many sites advising to stay away from the company.  I called them back (using *67 - this blocks out your tel # at the other end) before dialing their number  and someone actually answer.  I cancelled the visit and said I am not interested.  Fingers crossed they don't call back.

Did they ever show up ?

Did you get the prize!  They are suppose to come to my place on thursday and from reading everyones comments here no one actually wen threw with it, and given that I gave them the address of my brand new place (that is not even fully finished yet) they are going to come to a cement floor and half finished walls, but i figured i would grab the prize and let them talk all they want while i work on the dry wall.

they called me a week ago and i gave them a fake name today apperently i won the same prize as everyone. i know i shouldnt have givenmy adress but they called at 6am i was half asleep :P they are coming in two days and said that i get my prize and dont have to buy anything....
gona grab my prize and close my door >:)

I looked up the phone number of this place from a card left at my front door.  I was already annoyed since I have a sign on my door, saying NO ADS.  So in addition to scammy phone calls they are dropping off cards called POKER JACKPOT saying you won $10 000.

UR RIGHT..

so i got this call that i did a survey (cant remember doing it) she said i won a holiday but she wanted to get my name and address to deliver this 3 day hotel stay. I asked why cant she post it. She said its companys policy. so i told her i did not want the so called gift. She immediately hang up the phone..

I received a call today from them, : 613-2254770 , Ottawa nr, well the caller talked gently ,she claimed I won a prize, even gave me the chance to choose between 2 prizes, but she lied telling that I or somebody from my home participated in a survey, anyways, she was gentle, I gave her appointment. Later I decided to research this company, I found too many complaints against them, so I contacted them , cancelled the appointment and asked them to remove my name from their list after telling them that they have bad reputation {I think they know it},told her about  people's complaints against them and told her if you call again I will contact the Business Bureau and file a claim, immediately she hanged up the phone!! My point is , they could be a REAL Company, and sell or promote good stuff, but the way they are doing it is sneaky, dirty one...They better be sincere and present themselves straight, this way of promoting makes people think bad of them.

Caller ID is Breathe EZ Home

Phone rings but no one talks.  I have blocked their number

What I want to know is how your very legitimate and not pushy former company got a hold of my elderly parents' unlisted phone number?

Lots of people worked for this company and they left, apparently these guys have a good product but it's over priced. I can understand that they need to make money but I hard that most of the money they make is from by using their employees like slaves, steal their trust and turn them into Zombies that think the only way to make Money is by selling their product, and turn around and steal from their employees.
For those who don't know, campanies like this are SCAMS. Stay away or call the copes if you get a call from them or report it to. MARKET PLACE ON CBC.
