r/Devilcorp

On Monday I applied for Mpire Promotions in Garden City, NY for the job of “Entry Level Customer Service Sales Representative.” Yesterday, I received a text asking if I could do an interview on Zoom for today and I responded that I could. Today the interview seemed to go well, but I was caught a little off guard because it was actually a group interview with the “founder” and 3 other people, which I wasn’t informed of. At the end of the interview, the “founder” said that they would call us later in the day to let us know if we qualify for a 2nd round group interview that could happen “as early as tomorrow.” And sure enough, a few hours later I got a call back saying that I was selected for the 2nd interview in the office.

At first I was excited because this seemed like a great first full-time job for me. But after looking up reviews for Mpire, I realize that my situation is nothing new. I’m seeing too many people say the same thing about how this company and others like it entice people into these jobs by requiring no experience and hiring them within days of applying only for the job to be nothing like the description, as well as only receiving commission pay and no set salary. I originally didn’t see this as a permanent job and just something to help me get some professional experience, but now I want to avoid this all together before I find myself roped into something I’ll really regret.

I’m mentally preparing myself for tomorrow to reject them if they want to hire me on the spot. Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about this? I’m asking this because I already told the hirer the date that I could potentially start working, as well as said “yes” when asked if this job was something I could myself doing.

Edit: I called the number and told them that I will not be attending the interview and that I’m no longer interested in their company.

Does anyone have any information on whether this company is a devilcorp or not? i recently got an email from them to schedule an interview but i cant find any employee reviews or info about them apart from their Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/phaseltdbirmingham?utm_source=qr) and their website (https://phase-ltd.com/) and im a little suspicious as they're apparently a marketing company.

A new marketing agency named Thames & Tiger has been posting continuous jobs on LinkedIn. Their website looks to be legit at first glance. The roles they are hiring for are mostly marketing executives or corporate managers. The JD specifies that it is immediate start role and that applicants will be contacted within 24-48 hours of applying. But here's how it goes:

Round 1, which they make us believe to be a one-on-one round, is actually an orientation round. All participants are put on the same zoom call and the MD, Alex Mandich gives a brief introduction before handing it over to "Tommy," the "national director" or something. Tommy introduces the role (shady) and the salaries (super shady) and asks if anyone has any questions but moves on without answering. I am pretty sure it was a recorded video that was playing instead of a live call. After some snooping, I found out that Tommy is actually Thomas Smith, the founder of some company in Connecticut, US.

The national consultant of T&T, Nick, also seems to be a fake identity. The website's general pictures are all from Shutterstock. The team portrait pictures on their websites are all either AI-generated or staged because nothing looks to be positioned at a real office. The "work culture" pictures, which show them all bonding, are all outdoor locations. Alex is present in all of them with a different ID card.

Their Instagram also has very few posts and they are the same as LinkedIn. There are only 5 Indians associated with that company, Alex being one of them. The address is a residential property in Bangalore.

What's even more shocking is that, this isn't Alex's first fraud company. After Google-searching some images from the T&T website, I was led to two other websites - SalesCo Asia and SalesPartners - that follow the same blueprint. Identity thefts, fake pictures, same residential address. Here, he has used identities of Sophie Walker and Qaiyum Saleque. Smart because Qaiyum Saleque has been known to be a scammer in the UK.

Despite repeatedly reporting their job posts, of course LinkedIn has done nothing to remove the company, so please beware.

Please give me all the inside tips before I get my first full time job with them!!!!??

Wondering if this is Devil Corp, using non profit initiatives as a disguise?

I can’t tell if this is just a newer company, but it sounds like it may end up being a low paying sales job, and that I want to avoid!

Offered schedule an interview sent via email before the office even said it was open for the day. Weird vibes lmk!

Just did an interview with this company called Elite Prime Group. Don’t even remember applying for them. I thought it was a regular job at an AT&T store but it’s a door to door sales job. If you’re in the Metro Detroit area be on the look out

Recently I had an interview with this company in Boston called Aurelius Consulting Group. I only made it through one round before I was rejected and I was super bummed about it. However, it’s been hard to find things about this company anywhere online or who their clients are. All I know is that they were offering people $600 base pay plus commission and most of my day would be tabling events. They also pride themselves on a face-to-face approach.

Is this a devil corp or is this just some other weird marketing scheme?

Whilst blindly applying for jobs yesterday I applied for the role of 'Brand Ambassador' at 'Creed Marketing' in Brighton, who coincidentally phoned me this morning for an extremely brief chat about my 'skills' (I have very little experience in sales and spoke almost entirely about my experience in QA) and they were very 'impressed' and invited me down for a interview based off the 2 questions they asked me.

Upon a quick google search I could find very little about this company other than an Instagram page that is about 2 weeks old. This page contains a 'Day in the life of a Brand Ambassador' video that quite literally details a 9am-10pm day with a giant gap between 1pm and 10pm which i'm assuming is the standard devilcorp practice of pestering people in various locations for sales.

Following the phonecall, I was sent a text on the details of the in-person meeting in which i'm told to 'buzz' for an office space under 'Ballers' which has already been documented on this subreddit.

I'm honestly undecided if this post is a warning or a question as to wether this company is legit or not but after writing this post, the red flags are glaring.

I got a job at the Atlas Collective after a few interviews and went in for a trial day, I’ve heard mixed reviews about it on this subreddit, is it a scam or not?

I had interviewed for this company and everything went well. I have had a run in with many devil corps and am just exhausted. The only interviews I am getting are these and I sometimes think I should just take the job.

The thing I usually look out for is if the company is offering benefits -- more often than not they are not offering anything if they are a devil corp. Something just still feels off and IDK if it is because I have built up a skepticism of any interview I receive.

The interview was with a recruiter for the company. They are opening up an office in Tampa for people who are also Sales Development Representatives.

Is this a devilcorp?

i had recently moved to san jose and landed a “job” here. long story short i had left during my training week after doing some more research on the company and finding out a lot of dirt on them.

my curiosity piqued so now here i am. i wanted to ask those who stuck around a bit longer than i did. what was your experience like?

Okay I had an interview with this company called “Opulence Management” a few days ago, and they said they work with big companies such as T-Mobile n Spectrum. They sent a link that show cased their company. It was very professional looking but it felt odd idk. Anyway, they said that I was hired for the job (I applied to be an Entry Level Customer Service Trainee under a different company name: “New York Sales Firm”). I sent in my application on indeed n no one said anything regarding how much the pay would be, but they did say it was salary plus commission sales. That bothered me, then they wanted to hire me the next day with no background checks n that also bothered me. They tried to win me over with "all paid vacations and resort trips," and "team building such as golf trips and group activities." I do feel like I’m being a bit overly cynical but I’ve scammed before. What’s your guys’ take on this: take the job or keep looking?

Heyy , have you heard before about this company. They send me an email for the interview , and made me download "Signal Messenger" and they told me I need to send a picture of my ID. Really weird
