wwa false advertiser; scam company
I came in for an interview and was hired on the spot after a 4 minute interview. I was so excited. Then I was led to a vehicle and started canvassing with my mentor. This was advertised as a CSR job that paid up to $25 an hour. False advertising to recruit canvassing workers who get no pay. A complete waste of time. Please don't go to the interview unless you want to work for free. Everyone thst applies gets an interview and the job with no pay.
job interview
Went for an interview . showed up 15 minutes before time other people showed up for an interview . we all waited outside 30 minutes past our interview times no one showed up or even bother to email us to cancel or let us know there waa a delay. Place od businesa is shady . no email with an apology for this happening. There was someone inside the office we noticed the blinds moving but they never came to the door.
Fake Charity Fundraiser
This is a modern day 'Ponzi Scheme'. Stay away.
A bunch of York University college students thought they could be clever by creating fake companies to earn quick money. They target naive people to become door-to-door salesmen and use the REAL FUNDS from donations, product sales, or whatever it is they get you to subscribe to pay THEMSELVES, and give their employees a small cut. When all of this comes to light, you don't want to be caught in the cross hairs. Stay away. All of the fake positive reviews online are by these same alumni former-students.
Some other companies in the chain are Harris Global Enterprise, TNI, and DCF Advanced Marketing
Here is an excerpt from the Ontario Government:
"Charity scam
Phony fundraisers can contact you through mail, e-mail, telephone, or by knocking on your door. They claim to represent a charitable organization that may have a similar name to a legitimate charity. Once you make your donation, there is usually nothing you can do to get your money back."
This is from : https://www.ontario.ca/page/report-scam-or-fraud#section-4
They are trying to make unsuspecting naive people the scam artists by making legitimate looking job postings, don't be a part of it! Report them and RUN!

package delivery
Hi,
I gave a package to be delivered to UK renfrew city from Lahore Pakistan on 15 June. I payed 5800 for the package. He informed me it will be delivered by 21 june. Now today after 5 days he has called me and asking to pay 3600 more as he has come to know after so many days that it is a remote area. I have used you service many times before and sent the packages but without any remote area charges. Even if remote are chareges are applied, he should have informed me before, not after so many days.
Kindly look in to it as this package is very important to me.
Very very shady
I applied to a number of places this summer, so when I received an email saying I was being asked to come in for an interview I was excited. My excitement quickly faded after a Google search, and in hindsight the email should've been a red flag too. They didn't have any information about my position in the email, or about themselves as a company. I only knew it was World Wide Acquisitions because of their email address.
On Google, I found a bunch of stories saying that WWA is a door-to-door organization and that they leave out job details until you get there, at which point they ambush you into working during the interview!
Story here: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/worldwide-acquisitions-boston-massachusetts-c226556.html
Anyway, I emailed them back saying thanks for the opportunity but no thanks.
Two days later I get a call from a company called TNI asking if I was interested in a job. I said yes, not knowing who this company was but I'd applied to so many places I just figured I'd say yes and look it up later. They told me they'd send an email and then she said, "oops, I accidentally sent you the wrong one. Don't look at the first email, the second one is what I meant to show you". I hesitantly said "sure" and hung up.
Listen.
To start, both emails went straight to junk mail because even hotmail knew something was up.
The first email said "We're excited to see you at our office for your first interview at DCF Advanced Marketing (another door-to-door scam)" and the second one said the same thing but for World Wide Acqusitions.
I guess they got their scams mixed up. I was mostly shocked that they called me under a different name after getting my email saying I wasn't interested. That's one I hadn't seen before.
Be careful out there.
scam
I got a call from someone saying that he is a lawyer wanting me to pay a past payday loan debt. He wanted my debit card information. He wanted me to make a payment today and then set up hard ship monthly payments.
I have not gotten any emails or letters about this debt. He was not willing to send me an email or letter about this debt.
I told him that I am looking up his company on the web. and I find out that Worldwide Acquisitions is a sales company.
I am so glad I did not give him any information oer the phone. This seemed to be a scam. I think they got my information from LinkedIn website.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Very Shady
Hey everyone. Here is my experience with WWA. Hope it helps you in your career decision.
Worldwide Acquisitions. Sounds like a nice place am I right? So I was fresh out of college, young, naive, blah blah blah all that stuff, and was really eager to look for a job. I went to a few places like many people do (monster, careerbuilder, etc) and stumbled upon a small "Marketing Firm" as they call themselves known as Worldwide Acquisitions. I went to their website, it looked alright, somewhat sloppy, but I figured this company was maybe very young. So I appled online at CareerBuilder, and literally the next morning I got a phone call. They wanted to bring me in for an interview. They wanted also a "fresh" resume and wanted me to dress nice.
So I hiked up to Woburn (already a trip in itself from where I live) and had my "first" interview. This interview lasted literraly 5 minutes. She asked really easy questions like "How do you feel about teamwork, " and stuff like that. Now, anyone who has half-a-brain knows that no LEGITAMATE job interview lasts 5 minutes. She told me that I "fit" all the qualifications and wanted me back for a second interview. Now the fun began. She instructed me that I would be "out in the feild" working with one of their "Top Account Managers" for 8 hours... 12pm to 8pm. Right before the interview ended, I tried to ask her what I would be doing specifically. She "beated around the bush" and didn't give me a straight answer.
The day of the second interview came and I was very curious to see what exactly I'd be doing for 8 hours. If I only knew how stupid this "8 hour interview" was going to be I would have stayed in bed all day long because that would have been more productive than what I was about to face. I arrive at 12pm, not expecting to see alot of people, and there are at least 10 of us. I was very sketched out by this because what company hires excess people when the economy is in such a slump? Again, as naive as I was, I went along with everything and sat down. I talked to some of the other candidates...some of them who drove up to 2 hours just for this interview, which now makes me feel really bad. Anyways, the time came for us to meet our "Top Account Managers" Each candidate was paired up with someone who was apparently a top account manager...whatever that is. I finally got my name called and I was paired up with a nice guy. He told me to follow him and we went to his car. I still had no clue what we were doing as he drove off onto the highway. He set his GPS for Swampscott, MA...I was like are you serious? That's another 40 minute drive from Woburn.
As we drove in the Car, I asked some questions about the company. I asked what kind of benefits does the company offer. He smiled and said, "Yeah, benefits. We have those, " and then went back to driving. I also asked what he didn't like about the job. He didn't say a word. He just kept saying "I am the happiest guy ever here, man." Soon after I stopped asking questions...
For the next 4 hours we literrally went door to door... in Swampscott... in 80 degree weather... trying to pitch "Verizon FiOS" to very elderly people and some young families. It was a nightmare. I felt like an idiot for wearing my nicest shoes that day, because all we did was walk from door to door. We must have stopped at around 40 houses within the first 4 hours. My top account manager told me to "Watch how he interacted with people so I could learn and see." Now I finally reached the point where I asked myself, "Do you really need a college degree to do this?" The answer is no. You don't.
It gets worse.
Finally my top account manager took me to a pizza palor to get lunch. Again, I asked him about what benefits there were with the company, and he finally took out a piece of paper and wrote some things down. He told me that I had 2 choices of how to get paid. I could either have 300 dollars a week + 25 percent commision or I could have 400 to 600 a week...? The numbers were very unspecific. Then he showed how in one year I could make 85k-110k as a manager. Remember guys, if it's too good to be true, then it probably is. The company offers harvard pilgrim healthcare, but thats the only real benefit here. No 401k, vacations, etc.
After lunch, it was back to the streets to "attempt" to sell more FiOS. My feet were killing me, I honestly wished they gave me a heads up on what I'd be doing on this day so I could have dressed more appropriatley. The day dragged on as we continued to go door to door and then I realized it was way past 8'oclock. But my top account manager didn't care, he was more interested in knocking on doors. I was like, wow guy, it's after 8p.m. Please leave these poor people alone. He even went around to the back of someones house to get their attention...Not only was that an unethical move, but it's just down right rude. If someone doens't answer their door, they don't have to. (And at this point I really wouldn't blame them).
We drove back in silence. It was super awkward. Then he broke the silence by telling me we'd be going to back to see if I could get a "third" interview. More interviews? Come on guy its past 9 my parents haven't heard from me all day. We get back to the office, where I sit down with my top account manager and another manager and discuss how the day went. Feeling like a complete ###, I sat there, smiled, and said it went great. Shortly after I was given a test. This test was really easy. It asked questions like "Why is it better to interact with customers face to face?" and other easy questions. I filled it out and handed it to my top account manager who then went back into the room and talked to the other manager again. He came out a minute later and said "HEY! I got ya that 3rd interview!" From the looks of things it seemed as if EVERYONE got a third interview. I was then told I got the job, they congratulated me and asked when I could come back for a drug test. I told them in about 3 days. I finally left and began my drive home... it was 10 o'clock when I left the building. I was very disappointed because this job really wasn't about marketing or advertising...it was just a crummy sales job.
The next day I called and told them I wouldn't be able to work for them due to personal issues. If you're a college graduate, you can unquestionably do better than this company. It just feels like some sort of scheme...Very shady.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Door to door solicitation representing non-profit organizations like SickKids, WorldVision and Red Cross.
Enjoy walking outdoors in the heat/rain for minimum wage while you pay for gas/TTC and work 10 hour shifts while only being paid for 8 due to travel time.
You need to sign people up for MONTHLY donations of 34 bucks, the company skims donation money to pay for their administrative costs which is why they don't let canvassers accept one time donations. Disgusting.
Weekly quota of 120 dollars total in (((MONTHLY))) donations. Ridiculous call center verification denies donors who even imply they won't donate for a and i quote "MINIMUM COMMITMENT of one year or more", management will proceed to bully you like its your fault you can't get donors.
Combine the inherent danger of knocking on strangers doors in the middle of nowhere, a toxic management team and being made to foot the operating costs of your employer i would STRONGLY suggest you look elsewhere for employment. By far the worst place i have ever worked in my entire life.
It's 2018, I worked here for a little while just because i needed a job in between jobs. From what i can tell working there for a few weeks this company hasn't changed much from the previous reviews except for them no longer selling Verizon door to door. They will advertise that the job is a "marketing" position with "no commission or door to door sales" when in reality it is door to door FUNDRAISING job for various non-profit organizations. If you read no further this alone should be indicative of how this company operates, they're con artists and masters of manipulation. Both when dealing with employees and talking to people at doors, playing with words is their bread and butter.
The company is very corrupt, representatives that do well in the office can basically get away with whatever they want with zero repercussions. During their "road trips" wherein they take you away to some random city that's more than 3-4 hours away for up to a week during this time management will try to get you drunk so that they can sleep with you. Any other job this kind of behavior would be grounds for immediate termination via Human Resources.
Here is an HONEST job posting for Worldwide Acquisitions/Tni
-Door to Door fundraising in 20+ degree weather
-THEY DO NOT TELL YOU THERE IS A QUOTA UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN UP ON YOUR OTHER INTERVIEWS, you have to raise 120 dollars per week MINIMUM in monthly donations wherein the person must have the intention to help out for the full year. They cannot do a small one time donation because the charity doesn't make money with that, they need monthly donors because the only way they can afford to pay your wage is through these donations. That's right, you're literally fighting to pay your own wage when you start. You're not even helping the charity until you have a sizable amount of donors under your belt. This is assuming they don't cancel after two months mind you which you will get in trouble for and possibly fired if it happens too much.
-They also must sign up at the door or you get no credit towards your quota which creates a moral conundrum of having to lie to people just so they will help with you rather than going online. This is especially hard because they clearly prey upon people that are new immigrants to this country that need the money desperately.
-You will be given one "training day" which they dub "the second interview" which is literally you following around another rep and being told to watch what they do for 4 hours in the heat. Did i mention you won't be paid for this time?
-You can be the best representative in the office one week, but the moment you don't hit the quota they will treat you like you are expendable garbage.
-Management will pretend like the areas you're canvassing don't matter, but if that was really the case they wouldn't ship you all the way out to places like Brantford/Peterborough. Also if you happen to get an area full of people who simply don't want to help they blame it on you because all that matters to them are your numbers.
-The company will relentlessly track your movements, if you are sitting down for longer than 10 minutes head office will get a notification and management will yell at you for being lazy.
Finally, if you are expecting this to be a long term job you should look elsewhere. The majority of new hires don't last more than 2 weeks before they either quit or are fired for not hitting their quota. Your title on the job doesn't matter, you're paid based on performance. You could be promoted to leader and still only make 14 dollars per hour if your weekly numbers aren't good, but you will have even more responsibilities and stress to deal with.
In conclusion, there are better job opportunities out there. Nothing about this job is positive, you will feel guilty when you meet a nice person that wants to help out only to remember their donation isn't even helping the hospital until they do it for at least a year.
LOL seeing all these companies just makes you realize how corrupt things can really get. TNI, World Wide Acquisitions, it's all the same ###. They are now advertising on Kijiji again but saying NO SALES and NO COMMISION. Basically either they are straight up lying or they are just slithering their way past with words. Honestly just learn to read between the lines.
Currently they are advertising for Customer Service Reps because I guess people have been catching on. This is just a way to lure more people in. Instead of straight up saying door to door sales, they say it like "you will be providing quality customer service in a face to face manner to insure your customer service skills are displayed directly and placed forth" or some ### like that. It's all a lie people, translation: you will be driven an hour to the middle of nowhere to go door to door to the homes of senior citizens to sell them ### they don't need while baking in the summer sun in your uncomfortable business attire.
The sad part is that people keep falling for it, year after year. Honestly at this point they don't even try to tell the truth, they just straight up lie in the job postings to lure you in because no one enforces this ### and they know they can get away with it. This has been going on for a while, every year in Toronto I see this ###. Especially in the summer time. Don't waste your time.
OK! So this happened in summer 2 years ago, The company was taken place in Downtown Toronto.
Just like everyone else. Applying for jobs blah blah blah. And I got a call from one of these companies and they wanted to schedule me for an interview. I was too excited and naive so I said, Sure! I will be there tomorrow!. So, they sent me an email to confirm.
The next day, I arrive early just so I could find the place. After 10mins of searching, I found it. It was sketchy af tbh and they shared the same floor with bunch of guys who looked like UFC fighters(upper body naked, shorts, and the stage that UFC fighters fought on). Im starting to feel weird about this place. I found the compnay as I kept walking. There were 10ish people there waiting for interview. After a short period of time waiting, we finally met the MARKETING MANAGERSSSSS. The interview lasts about 15mins (It was like a group interview). The MANAGERSSSSS talked about what benefits we have. Also, if we did good, we could win a trip to Jamaica for 2 weeks and will be living in six star hotel ect. Too good to be true, right?
They call me the next day and said they want to schedule me for another interview for the next day.
So I went to the second interview with jeans, t-shirt, and a bagpack. This time, only 6 people came back for the second interview. Again, group interview. Everything was about benefits, how much we could earn, and vacations!. Then the woman who interviews us calls in another group of MARKETING MANAGERSSSSSSS. They said how they liked this job and you guys become a manager after a short period of time if you work hard enough.
I felt so werid the entire interview and you know what they say, things could only get worse.
The woman who interview us asks us to go out and have a lunch with the MANAGERSSSSSS. At that time I texted my boyfriend about what happened and he said just keep calm and keep in touch with him.
We got into the van and 2 interviewees came along with 2 MANAGERSSSS. The next thing I know, we ended up on highway. No GPS was set whatsoever. I started to send my location to my boyfriend through Whatsapp. I was silence the entire car ride. Along the ride, I realized that there was no houses on the side of the road its just farms.
After almost an hour of driving, we ended up taking in A&W in between of Barrie and Newmarket.
When we got into A&W, the managers started to order and I said I'm not hungry at all. I then ask if anyone wanna go to washroom? The 2 interviewees came along with me and when we were in the washroom talking how sketchy it is to drive so far away from downtown, this time, one of the manager came in to go to washroom. We stopped talking and wash our hands and leave the washroom.
When they're almost done eating, I went to washroom, and the other 2 interviewees followed me to the washroom and tries to have furthur discussion about whats going on, one of the managers came in to go to the washroom again. We left A&W, While we were walking towards the car, the driver(manager) asks everyone go get into the car first leaving me outside with him. He said to me, you talked too much. I know what you are thinking. I've decided to leave you here alone. The he drove off with the others. I told my boyfriend I got left behind and sent him the location, he then came right away. While I was waiting, the other 2 interviewees came back saying they find it very strange too thats why they asked the driver to drop them off. After a bit of waiting, my boyfriend finally arrived and he brough the 2 guys back to subway station and dropped me home.
Thanks for all these posts. I submitted my resume on CareerBuilder and got a voice mail from these people about an hour later (6pm) saying that I had applied to the company. I found this very odd because 1 I never applied to BBS and 2 she only referred to the company as BBS Woburn. All I could think was WTF what is BBS? Then I found this website and decided not to respond to any emails or phone calls. Its been 36 hours and at least 2 different women have called 4 separate times and 2 emails. Again thanks for the warning
Thank you for this post. I have a job interview tomorrow at downtown Toronto at 12:30. Probably I'll just ignore the email they've sent me.
Thank you very much for everyone who warned about this company. A lady called me today to set up an interview with me. AGAIN AFTER 2 HOURS another lady called me from the same office and said she wants to set up an interview. I was confused as to why they call me twice to set up the same interview! They dont even check their database before calling. She said I have to work for Worldwide acquisition Inc. but the company that called me is TNI, Toronto. I did not have any doubt about this company until I landed on this website tonight. I was going to attend an interview with them tomorrow. You guys saved me. I'm not going for the interview tomorrow. Thank you once again guys

Thank you everyone who posted. Just drove an hour to visionary acquisitions in Framingham, ma for interview number one where any question I asked was dismissed or very broadly answered. I accepted their full day interview for tomorrow. After reading these posts I called back to discuss what I read and asked specifically what I would do. Again a vague answer saying that "i only read opinions and to understand I had to follow their account manager for a day. In order to know if I wanted to be one myself." Thank you again for all your posts and confirming my too good to be true feeling!
