thanks for posting this. Just out of curiosity, where did you find this? By that I mean, is this a career searching site you usually use and happened to stumble on this?
By the way, the URL you posted here gave me a 404 error. did you copy the link directly from somewhere?
Nope, this was an add i posted.
I'm sorry about the website arer, the link is

Take a look and let me know if you no of anyone who would be intristed.
I have a sneaking suspician this is a scam. I have yet to find proof of that, but there are alarm bells going off in my head, for the following reasons:
1. The company is very vague on their site about what it is that they do for the customers, exactly.
2. I filled out an extremely basic form with very little information required, and just from that, I got an email saying they thought I would be a good match and to set up an interview. In other words, it doesn't look like their standards are very high and they'd be willing to hire just about anyone.
If anyone else thinks this is a great idea, don't hesitate to look deeper into it, but I suggest anyone who tries this to proceed with extreme caution.
Of course, if anyone has experience with this and can varify that it is, indeed, legitament, I'd be glad to hear about it. I just know I've seen opportunities like this before that have all turned out to be scams, usually a group, pretending to be a legitament company, trying to get their so-called employees to launder their counterfeit money with their own bank accounts; basically having innocent people unknowingly doing their dirty work for them.

I am disappointed, disturbed, and concerned with your allegations that melaluca is a fraudulent company. It is always wise to thoroughly investigate something before publicly casting doubt on it. Additionally, the woman who posted this information provided a phone number for you to contact her for more information. Would it not have been kinder and more professional to do this before publicly casting aspersions on the company and indirectly her reputation?
The company has been around for a long time and is in fact well thought of and legitimate. I have a friend from my job whose daughter paid her college tuition with the profits she made. Additionally her father is now on disability and supplements his income with this fly by night operation.
For the sake of continuity, I will have copied your questions and will write my responses beneath each. hope this is clear and easy for you to understand.
1. The company is very vague on their site about what it is that they do for the customers, exactly.
It seems perfectly obvious to me what they do, but then I have previous knowledge.. To clarify things for you, the company sells organic counterparts to commercially produced items. Unlike many other companies, their products are the same or cheaper than what can be purchased at the local supermart or walmart. Sjome areas they cover would include, cleaners for bathroom, kitchen, dishes and dishwasher. Additionally they have nutritional supplements, vitamins, and nonperrishable food. vitamins, and Finally they have a whole line of hypoalergenic naturally manufactured cosmeti,c beauty, hair care and dental products.
Additionally they have a section which includes 650 vendors which will automatically give melaluca customers a substantial discount, 7 to 15% off their products. These include such fly by night operations as cafe press, charlote rousse, and buy.com.
2. I filled
out an extremely basic form with very little information required, and just from that, I got an email saying they thought I would be a good match and to set up an interview. In other words, it doesn't look like their standards are very high and they'd be willing to hire just about anyone.
So filling out a detailed application on line makes a company honest? Oh puh-lease!!!!! Give me a break. If I saw a form with a zillion questions, I'd be concerned that whoever wanted the information had their eyes and ultimately their hands on my dough ray me.
EAch applicant has a mentor, the woman yon this website. The applicant views training material and watches and learns through other sales. They do other stuff but I'm not sure what it actually is. It is your supervisor who ultimately determines whether you can cut the mustard. Gosh that sounds pretty scary to me.Again, I wonder why you didn't call the woman in the add, but people's actions and motivations often confuse me.
This is an ideal business for a blind person. Some of the reasons are:
1. the customers directly order from the website. This eliminates you keeping a boat load of crap in your basement.
2. The items are shipped directly to the purchaser. This eliminates you having to sort and then get the stuff to them.
3. you don't have to purchase an exhorbitantly expensive starter kit and then attenparties. This eliminates finding a ride to go to someone's home, eat pigs in a blanket, drink hawaiian punch, and pray they buy something.
I have used the antibacterial all purpose cleaner, the laundry detergent, volumizing shampoo, and one of the perfumes. I was greatly impressed. Believe me I've been exposed to every companydown the pike, e.g., shackley and amway, and as far as I'm concerned this is the first one which delivers what it advertises.
Hope this reassures you. If you have any questions, please call that number.
I use to be with this company. If you are a good salesperson then it may work for you. The internet is saturated with this business and I had to buy at least $50 products a month. Hey, if you can afford to do that, this is the job for you. Don't count on your friends to support you in this business unless they can afford to spend the money everymonth on the products. You do have to try to get people to join your team and to me it was a headache. I am not trying to put down this company, I loved the products but if I didn't get a person to join I had to pay for the products and it was just to expensive for me.
I used to be with melaleuca but when I was with them you still had to buy stuff from them. No you didn't have to ship stuff out but you had to buy stuff to keep your account active unless you had people under you doing so. Also, I actually agree with the way that business model works only because if you buy something and you turn out to really like it you can not only have people in your team but you can also have consumers and tell these consumers what you really truly think of the product because you have used it before and continue to use it. Being able to tell a perspective buyer what you think of something because you have used it yourself is a lot more convincing than if you're just trying to sell something you haven't even used yourself. Just my thoughts.
turricane, I did not say, "it is a scam. Don't go for it". I said, "I am suspicious that it might be, but if anyone has any experience that says they're not, please don't hesitate to let me know". People have since posted their experiences varifying that is, in fact, a legitament company. as such, my suspicians were disproven. and now, allow me to provide some background information on how I came to the conclusion that I would be wise to be cautious:
About six months ago, I posted my resume on a job searching site, and got a response from someone claiming to be from a group called Dogo Group, LLC. The Email claimed this company worked with artists, promoting their art in a low cost and professional manner. I thought, Hmm. Not very descriptive, but sounds legitament enough. the lady who wrote the email told me to check their site for further details on what it is their company does, and then to email her back to schedule an interview via telephone. I visited the website, and to my shock, I was presented with a page that said this site had, by multiple people, been reported as unsafe. I investigated into it further, and found that several people testified that the group in question had been using their so-called employees to launder their own counterfeit money for them. I was caught completely off guard. the hiring process was handled very professionally, or so it seemed to a person who was fairly new to the job search. They were not requiring any previous experience in the field, which, to be honest was one of the biggest selling points for me since that's where I always fell short in previous job searches, they claimed to have been in business for many years and were well established, and they weren't asking for any money up front, which is what all the work-at-home scam warnings were telling me to be careful of. Ever since, I've been very cautious of companies like this. when I checked up on this particular company, the one discussed on this topic, I found a few very vague posts on scam related forems warning people to be careful. Although noone could officially varify that it was a scam, one person in particular posted her entire Email exchange with the company, in which she asked for very specific details as to what the company does, exactly, and the response only ever got as specific as to say they worked with a small pharmasutical company. It seemd that no matter how much the potential applicant pressed the issue, no further details were given. So, I decided to play on the safe side and refrain from proceeding. Was I suspicious? Most definitely. But not once did I flat out accuse this company of scamming people, and also stated that I was open to the possibility that they were legitament. thankfully, in this case, I turned out to be wrong. But if I have no right to be suspicious of anything like this, maybe that's why the people who really are scammers are still getting away with what they do best. I wonder if scam victims would be singing this tune.
To be fair, selling products to customers is not what the initial advertizement on this thread indicated (HR experience is not sales). Also the requirements were incredibly vague on this post.
Based on the original post, I'd have to say this is a relative deception or at least vaguely misleading people about what they will be doing.
Based on this post, if I were interested and inquired more and found out this is a sales job with minimum $50/purchase a month, I'd call it a scam.
Not to say that people can't make their living off of it, there are good sales people out there, but this is a saturated market (Nuskin, Herbalive, plenty of others), with fierce competition, you may feel very uncomfortable pushing your friends into buying stuff of you, even if you like the products. This has nothing do with HR at all.
Of course any "work from home" with no prerequisites will be something along those lines, and people should expect that.
If you are good at this type of stuff, by all means, try it out, seems as legitimate as any other company in this field, but if you are expecting a $50,000 a year job with no work, 30 minutes at the computer a day, and the rest spent travelling the world, .. well, those don't happen. It's all about expectations and honesty, and I feel this particular advertisement (in post one), fell a bit short on the latter.
ocean dream, after what you experienced, I surely don't blame you for being cautious. i have a friend who must have scam victim written on her head. she has gotten herself in to so many crazy things. if i had seen what she had, i would have said "good grief get a grip. this is too good to be true." Her husband has done so far, filling up candy machines in restaurants, you know those ones where you put in a dime and get pez like candy, home medical transcription, when the market is saturated to the max here, some property thing that i didn't understand, selligng water purifiers, and on and on and on. From what I can see of the mela luca company it's like any other home business and better then many. the amount you get from it is related to the amount of effort you put in to it.
