I am having trouble telling if this is a job scam or not. This company is being solicited on Cragislist as Frontline Marketing, but a few months ago the SAME job posting, along with the same address and phone number was posted as Ascension Marketing Group. How could this be a scam? Are there similar scams out there? Are they gonna make you work for free or steal your ID? Please let me know! Here’s a link to the Craigslist ad.

Likely a scam.
There is no description of the type of work involved, and nothing about the duties & responsibilities.
You can certainly respond to the ad, but I suspect it is a 100% commission job with no salary at best, and a scam/ID theft/Ponzi scheme at worst.
I would be very inclined to think it’s the latter.
Be careful.

I can guarantee 1 thing to all who see this! Frontline marketing is not a scam they are actually the most genuine people you “could” ever meet. People that are to skeptical to take 1 day to be introduced to success are not the people we’re looking for.
There are TWO kinds of people: Those who Hunt down success, and those who let success pass them by… Everyone has there own opinion, THANK GOD!
If it wasn’t for all the skeptics,OUR oppurtunity wouldnt be so GREAT!

It is not ‘necessarily’ a scam. Meaning that it IS a legitimate business.
However; they are run by Cydcor. Google this name and you will find it to be synonymous with the words ’scam’ and ‘rip off’. Why?
Because Cydcor is a company that sells you dreams. They say that you will become an owner in a year or so. An owner makes about $120,000 a year. However, in reality, only 1% make it to owner, and nowhere is it written what the actual salary is.
What actually happens when you are hired at this company? You go door-to-door selling office supplies. Flat out. They say you can make good money doing it, too. But lets do some math:
Let’s be generous and say that you make $800 a week (your working on full commissions, mind you. 28% to be exact). This means you’d have to sell about $3000 worth of office supplies a week. Good luck.
You spend $100 a week on gas. Another $100 on food in the field.
Now your at $600. Take another $100 for taxes. Now your at $500.
You work 12 hours a day. (This is a fact.), 5 days a week. That’s 60 hours a week divided by 500.
You follow me?
Your making $8.30 an hour. For more work than you’ve ever done in your life.
And growth opportunity? It’s a pipe dream.
Stay in school.
