I got a suspicious call with the same ad saying no experience required will train etc. also I googled the company and the employees and all I found was this site. Molly jones is HR and Dane Johnson is the hiring mgr. I am positive it's the same scam. They were very nice overly nice and had zero questions. I am canceling my interview immediately.

This is the Google result I clicked on:

Core Concepts Inc Nashville - Entry Level Job Scams Blog
entryleveljobscamsblog.blogspot.com/.../rain-marketing-inccore-con...Jun 16, 2011 ? Rain Marketing Inc/Core Concepts Inc (Nashville, TN) ... Perimeter Park Dr Suite 100, Nashville, TN, is a Smart Circle affiliate which ... If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions ... Human Resources ...

Received call from 615-781-4268 on March 1, 2012, at 9:51am central.  On SWITCHBOARD White Pages I found:  Group Resources, 301 S Perimeter Park Drive Suite 100, Nashville TN 37211.

I also found the following when I Googled Group Resources Scam:

Rain Marketing Inc/Core Concepts Inc (Nashville, TN)
Rain Marketing Inc, now called Core Concepts Inc, located at 301 S Perimeter Park Dr Suite 100, Nashville, TN, is a Smart Circle affiliate which sells DirecTV subscriptions. We could not determine from research when Rain Marketing was founded, but the domain name coreconceptsinc.biz was created in January 2011.

Beware of attractive, but possibly deceptive job ads which offer entry-level training in management, marketing, and sales especially if the ads state no experience required. If you decide to interview with such a company, ask many questions before accepting employment. Will you be paid minimum wage or commission? Are there company benefits? Beware of invitations for an all-day second "interview".

***
Beware: There is a Cathi Roman who calls from Atlanta, GA for Rain Marketing, SMG Management and DT Marketing to confirm job interview appointments. Rain Marketing is in Nashville.

'cathy with smg management' keeps calling about a job interview, but never picks up phone when called back; numerous sites on internet claim it's a fake number...

I was given this phone number in an email to call back for a job interview, but the 'voice mail is full'. DT Marketing is the company that claims to want an interview.

I applied for a job on career builder and I was contacted from this number. A lady name Cathy Roman contacted me for an interview from Rain Marketing. The lady actually sounded rude on the phone. I ended up not going to the interview and I?m glad I didn?t. I googled  the company address and it turns out the space it open for rent and the company is fake. Its all a scam. Here is the copy of the email I received:

So what do I do if I already signed up? They sounded so legit tho. They were all super nice and I even shadowed a guy on the honzo. He talked about all the stuff he does and whatnot. What is the scam exactly?

Just found another scam along the same lines (probably by the same people). The ad (which is currently advertised on the Seattle Craigslist) is for Core Enterprises Inc. (http://www.coreenterprisesinc.com/) It had the same website content as Core Concepts, as well as another company called Fresh Enterprises out of Colorado (http://www.freshenterprisesinc.com/#!). The person who emailed me is named Robyn Lewis, and her phone number is (808) 699-1689, which is a Florida phone number. She is also the contact for the Denver company, even tho she claims to be based in Seattle.

Thank you for the heads-up. This posting started my search, and I'm very glad that I did my research before making any commitments.

They tell you they're gonna give you a ride along with somebody. In all actuality you are a cover them as they steal credit card information from local warehouses. The guys name is damien he hires a bunch of people tell them they're gonna make minimum wage plus large commission checks. You'll be there for a week and a girl named michelle claiming to make hundreds of thousands of dollars and from another office in another state she then fires u then they hire another group of people and so on. You'll never get a check. They all need to be thrown in jail. Don't waste your time the police came to the office and arrested 1 of the managers then a new 1 comes in and circle starts over again. scam scam scam scam

Michelle's number is 404-797-5442.
Damian's number is 706-676-8388.
They go under the names rain marketing , The smart circle , Home services, Coreconcepts.biz/.com, freshenterprises.com , and juice. Don't do it big time scam. Please read previous blogs.

I just got an email from the Core Enterprises branch of this scam. I applied to an "event marketing" job, but the woman I spoke to on the phone seemed to want me to sell something outside Costco.
