Gold Rush 1849 Pyramid Scheme

This company used to be VIII Marketing before they changed their name to Gold Rush 1849 or goldrushny.They are a pyramid scheme.They target uninformed job seekers and do not fully disclose that they are a pyramid scheme until you start working for them. They have an unrealistic, unsustainable business model that could cause poverty in those who come subject to it. They will cold call you claiming to have found your resume online and offer you an interview. Their current office location is Gold Rush, 300 Hamilton Ave.Floor 4, White Plains, NY 10601. They will trick you into a job, they have a 99.99% acceptance rate among candidates. I was scammed into coming for two interviews when they were named VIII marketing and it was after the second interview that I thought something was really strange. They are very good con men and women and I almost fell for it, but I had a feeling to do some research. Do not believe any positive reviews they are all made by former employees or employees who run the scheme.

When I first researched them I found little information because they change names and locations so frequently, It wasn't until I ran the name of one of their account managers and found several law suite cases against him.
You will find information if you look under a name called CYDCOR. They keep changing their name I don't know how they stay in business. Basically they want you to sell door to door Verizon fios, this is going up to doors of random offices, and pitching them to sell your product for 100 Percent commission, no salary base. They basically purchase X amount of verizon fios accounts and then try to sell them, they make false promises and pride their 'get rich quick scheme" but its just that a scheme. They have wasted a lot of people time and costs people thousands of dollars who fall victim to it and accept jobs from them.

Its dangerous, and its far fetched that you will ever make money doing it, unless you have morals of a wolverine.In summary it is a complex pyramid scheme, do your research and don't fall for their fake website, and fake reviews made by their employees.

Gold Rush 1849 False Job Description, Possible Pyramid scheme

Be very careful of this company. I applied for a position and they immediately got back to me. I was very excited for the interview, as they told me the position had base compensation + commission. When I got to the office, I immediately noticed that it was almost completely unfurnished and looked very much like a fly by night operation. I got through the first round of interview and came back two days later for job shadowing. The job just entailed going from business to business trying to pitch Verizon Fios to businesses. It turned out that most of the so called "leads" had been combed by several other salesmen in the previous week. During the lunch break, they told me it was commission only for the first 6 months and that after a year and a half I could make $80, 000 base salary plus commission. I very much doubt anyone ever makes it to that level. The gentleman I shadowed was very pushy about taking the job and lied to businesses repeatedly (he claimed he was there to "check the bill). After hitting 45 prospects, no sales were made. He repeatedly harassed employees, demanding they call their manager and switch to Verizon immediately. I was offered the job the next day and declined.

In short, I would avoid this company. It is more based on recruitment of salesmen than actually selling a product.

Several months ago, I applied to Gold Rush 1849. At the time, I was thrilled that they contacted me back right away for an interview. Of course, that should have been a red flag that they contacted so soon. I went in the following week for the initial interview. I got there half an hour early, and I was appreciative of the fact they took me early. The...
