: This is a very long and in depth look at Scentura Creations.
: I went to work for Scentura Creations in 1995, in Nashville TN. Only it wasn't Scentura Creations I was working for, it was a "branch" of Scentura Creations. Scentura Creations could therefore not be held liable for any faulty business practices of the branch. Basicly, Scentura Creations was just our Vendor. However, we were told that we would meet Larry Hahn, and we watched the "inspirational" video's and heard about all the money we could make. The name of the Branch I worked for in Nashville was called Genesis Management. The Owners name was Josh Stark, and his #1 salesman and motivator's name was Cody Croft. These guys were all full of S**T. It was the biggest scam I ever had the misfortune of being involed in. I worked 10-20 hour days especially on PCPU days PCPU standing for Power Car Pair Up's. And if you didnt work these hours you were labeled a WPS (Weak Piece of Shit). And noone would want to work with you. I worked for this "company" for about 6 weeks and was promoted up through the ranks and was selected to move to Harrisburg PA. to help start up an office. I was only a Sr. Manager at the time but I was told that I would be "GIVEN" an office and the Start up funds in Harrisburg, so that we could go ahead and start recruiting. I packed everything I owned.I was up there for about 2 weeks and had to go to my home state of Texas for my Uncle's funeral, and when I came back, everything was gone. There was about 5 or 6 of us and we all put our stuff in a rental storage. Everything I owned had been stolen, the office doors had been shut and locked and all the merchandise was gone. These were people I trusted and I was brainwashed into believing that we were all in this together. The name of the two head guys starting up the Harrisburg office was Chad Armstrong and Greg Sullivan. These are the two people responsible for me losing everything that was preshish to me. All of my valubles a baseball card collection I had been working on since I was 5, all of my family pictures. All of my furniture,my TV, VCR, Computer equipment, desk EVERYTHING!!!
: I had many people come to me while I was working in Nashville who tried to make me see the light and wake me up, but I was so brainwashed I thought they were just people who couldnt hack the work and quit and were jealous of someone like me being able to handle it. I was wrong. This company should be labeled as a Cult. They use the same methods to get you to do almost anything to sell this shit, and in return promise you the American Dream!!! Do yourself a favor, if you are in the process of starting with this company or are already involved get out now. Save your family and yourself the heartache of there lies. Put your time and money, and oh yes you will spend your own money just to make a days quota so that you can get promoted to the next level. If you dont know the little secret that none of the Sr. Managers will tell you about, I will tell you. Once you become a Sr. Manager you are assigned a "Mission" your mission is to sell 60 bottles in a certain amount of time to pay for the start up cost of your office. If you dont accomplish your mission within the specified time limits you are left with two choices, quit or start over as an FNP (f*ckin new person). The whole Idea of making money in this scam is to get the Sr. managers to sell about 40 or 50 bottles in there mission and then they run out of time and are so disheartend by there failure. They dont have the heart to start all over again. Therefore the owners get to keep every last peeny of your mission money for themselves. Because what they dont tell you is that Scentura Creations gives them and I mean GIVES them the 60 bottles for each Sr. Manager. Therefore when you fail, they get to keep all that money and have to send nothing back to Scentura Creations. Be careful in the decisions you make in your life. Work hard for yourself and no one else but your family. Dont let these people brainwash you into believing there stories. The only way you can make money in this business is to become one of them and use and hurt people just like you to make a buck. I've seen them ruin peoples lives, a friend of mine who I worked there with got divorced over it and he had 2 kids. Dont let them ruin your life. There is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow I promise you. If you want to make some money get educated in something. Spend that $10 to $20 dollars a day and put it into your education. Learn somthing that will help you to get a job that is only 40 hrs a week and where you will be compensated for your time. I hope my story will help someone to see the reality of there situation and help them to get out. Its all a lie. I myself became one of them for a week. I lied to people just like me and told them about all this money I had made since I had been with the company. My goal was to get them pumped up so they would go out and sell a bunch of bottles and hopefully I would be able to eat a decent meal off of there commisions. BE CAREFUL!!!
