This is my story: 

I was about to go on my second group "meeting" after being "hired".  I had 
already sold 10 bottles to my family and friends and was about to make the 
company approx. 300 dollars.  The office manager Rich Young gave us a "spur of 
the moment" contest stating that whoever sold the most bottles would get 300 
dollars, second place was 200, and third was 100.  He also stated that we 
would get 7 dollars on per bottle we sell.  To sweeten the deal he said that 
whatever number we sell we he would double it and subtract it from the 50 
bottles we had to sell that they say isnt a quota but just a number.  So I 
proceeded to try and sell twenty five bottles so that I wouldnt have to sell 
anymore, however when I called the other "manager", R.J. Hunter, he said that 
I would then have to show how I can be a "team player" by helping everyone 
else sell their bottles.  On the street there is a name for being paid under 
the table (because mind you we hadnt signed the first w-2), going out on to 
the streets and selling products that were using the designers name but were 
knockoffs.  That name is call HUSSLING.  I am not a hussler I am a college 
student trying to make some money during the summer so that I wont have to go 
to my family for everything when I return to school.  I dont like to be made a 
fool of so I have contacted the local news station and will be contacting 
EVERY business out there that can help rid my state and others of these scam 
artists.  Therefore I am writing to you to let you know that I am on your side 
and yes, they are still operating and scamming.  The other "manager's" name is 
Christine Franzik a self-proclaimed ex-crack addict.  This office is in 
Virginia Beach, VA.  I hope to help any of those out there who made the 
mistake of falling for this scam. 

Thank you VERY MUCH!!
