STOP HATING ON THOSE KIDS THAT SELL THOSE MAGAZINES THEY KNOCKING ON YOUR FRONT DOOR INSTEAD OF COMING THROUGH YOUR BACK DOOR. THAT HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES AND THERE FAMILIES WITHOUT USING THE WELFARE SYSTEM. SO WHY NOT TAKE A INTEREST ITS JUST PAPER AND STAPLES. YOU HAVE HEARD OF KARMA RIGTH? SO LUV YOURSELF, EACH OTHER, AND TEE TOO.

I worked for them and those people left me in another state while I was in that state I was abused raped and it took 5 months to finally get home on my way home I was in a car accident. My suppose to managers didn't pay me my check and they knew everything that happend to me and didn't reach a hand. Also yes they are ripping people off and it's all fake from someone who was on the inside I do however plan makin a video and having it go viral on Facebook about what happend to me while working with paragon amy and dink paragon sales and what happend after.

BEWARE!

If not for your safety, then for wallet...It's all true and it's not about hating.

The guy at my door, CHESTER, actually told his sad and woeful tale about the inner city and drugs and how he was doing this for his daughter (who was abandoned by his drug addict wife who is still in jail and can't break free of her addiction to crack) and about his church leadership role and how one day he wants to open his BBQ place called 'Chester's Q'. Hmm...

I order 3 subscriptions knowing I was paying way over retail (meaning that I knew a yearly subscription costs about $50 - but paid $108 for each subscription in hopes of giving someone a new chance at redemption).

However, after receiving nothing for the money I gave was like being anally raped (that's how violated I felt), and I can't help but hope that someday each and every person involved in this particular scam ends up being raped in the exact same manner.

I trusted and tried to help in an attempt to let a reformed felon know there are good people willing to support that 'initiative' they took, but at the end of the day I WAS SCAMMED...unfortunately, now when someone REALLY needs help I won't blink an eye before I tell them to get lost.

Yes, power to them for taking the initiative to be on the right track, but are they so entangled on the wrong track that they don't realize how far they have to travel before they get to the right track? If I were a part of this company I would smell scam immediately and decline the job or quit asap.

If I were their future employer, I would never hire someone who was involvement with such a company. Not because I don't believe they can't change, but if you lack the intelligence to know what you are doing is wrong then, well...chances are you STILL lack that intelligence.

Be smart watch out not just for Paragon, but for the following related companies:
Paragon Sales, Paragon Dynasty, Paragon Express, Second To None, DP Sales, Banks Management, Midwest Clearing LLC, and Young Professionals LLC.
THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DISCREDITED BY THE BBB and have disconnected their phone lines.

Also watch out for the name Andre Walker, Dave Percudani (Andre's puppet), and investigate other names related with the above mentioned companies.

ADVICE:
1. Order magazines directly from the publisher (You'll get what you've pay for PLUS it's much cheaper).
2. If you want to help those in need refer them to organizations you are familiar with.
3. Donate the extra cash you have to an organization that will put it to good use.
4. If you still want to help:
LOCK the door and check out the company he works for on the internet.
Hopefully they'll be gone by the time you get back, but if they're still there tell them yes the company
checked out or no the company is in poor standing.

ive purchased magazines from paragon at my home in sd, and never received them.

i then returned to the bay area where several paragon salesmen have come to sell me magazines, and ive politely declined.

in my experience, all 4 paragon salesmen seemed to be well meaning, and honest individuals. id say its really important to discern between those who are working hard as salesmen and the ones who actually started the paragon business. i want all the paragon salesmen out there to just be careful who you work for. i sincerely believe that all of you are working towards better lives, and think you should all keep at it. BUT it seems to me the people who started paragon might be taking advantage of you guys and your sincere attempts and turning your lives around. i think that all of those who are voicing complaints about the salesmen might be a little bit misguided, and to be honest, a little bit racist.

to summarize my point. power to the salesmen for taking the initiative and working their butts off, but be careful with your managers and those who founded paragon. they might be exploiting your strong, positive attitudes. not receiving my magazine in SD wasnt a big deal in the long run, but it really makes me question paragon management. i really believe the salesman i dealt with, who i really respected, believed in what he was doing and had no part in me not receiving my magazine.

We all support people tring to be professional and make a buck. But where do you draw the line? I have had three individuals come to may front door over the past 3 months. Are we suppose to contribute to everyone who knocks on our door? In the most recent occurance, the kid used vulgarity when I didn't sign up. Called me "F" words, he's lucky I didn't shoot him. Not to mention, if your a single woman answering the door with two males hounding you. This could be a potentially bad situation in a non-trafficed area.

I'm a person thats believes in the spirit of giving, karma, and open to new ideas. Give when you can and be honest, and curtious to everyone you meet. But don't get blinded, we still live in the real world Price Family.
