*** lover picked up by William Reagan on Craigslist

A collection agency keeps calling, calls almost every day. They leave voice messages telling me to please disregard if I am not the person whom they are looking for. I have, and they keep calling!!

Hi Huh

Hi

Clark john A

Called my mobile phone.

Who is this from?

Just got this call today, they claimed the name of the company was Independent Wellness Center. Oddly enough it turned out to be a guy I graduated high school with, Brady Madden. That was a mere coincidence however. We knew each other in high school but were not close friends nor have we spoken since then. He claimed my name had been referred to him by a friend, but when prodded for information he then claimed to have no idea how he got my name, that it could have simply crossed his desk weeks ago. I then asked him point-blank if the company would require any cash up front to become involved. His response was that there was no requirement and that training was free, however you are encouraged to try their supplements to be better acquainted with the product in dealing with customers. There are some more advanced training courses that are optional and do require payment to attend as well. I have never known of a legitimate business to require money fro TRAINING. Any legitimate business I have known wants to give you all the tools they can for you to succeed at no cost to you because it is good for the company. Tried to do a web search for Independent Wellness Center and only found the location of an office in Kalamazoo, no website, and numerous fraud complaints. Bottom line: if you become involved with this organization, you are whom they make money off of, make no mistake.

dont call this place or go in its a scam . foorrrsuuuure.

Got a call from Brady today concerning a potential job and a "overview" not interview.  Since I have been looking for some part-time work in the medical field he told me all about this "company."  I have no clue how he had got my number and knew my name but said a friend must had referred me.  The only resumes or applications that i have filled out previously were for private hospitals that don't sell/share applications/resumes.  So I'm curious about how he got my number...creepy.  Anyways after researching about this company, it sounds like they convince you to buy their products with are hundreds of dollars and try to sell them yourself to others, then they hit the road and leave you high and dry with no products and your money gone.

I got a call very similar to these from a McKenzie. She offered me a job and told me that someone had given them my name as a referral. After I inquired several times what exactly the company was or what they did, she stil had no clear answers, accept that they were a "Wellness Center" on Gull road. I am definitely glad I came to this site before going in for an "interview" this weekend. If she calls again she's going to get a piece of my mind. Her number was:

Did any of you guys use experience.com ? That's all I can think of for how this guy gets #s of people looking for work

yea me and two of my friends got called all in one day. F*** you Brady you damn stalker!

Called about a job gave no name (garbled) and no company name....Thanks to all of you for the heads up.

Got this call from Brady..how he got my cell phone number is beyond me, but I will find out.. Ask me if I was looking for some part-time work. I'm retired and not looking.. If I was looking it would not be from unknown person asking me if I wanted to work.. that does not happen into day market.. I deleted the call from the phone and number..

They called me but the guys name was Steve. He did tell me where he worked and gave me a address and everything even set sup a meeting. Thought I would get on and Google the place to see where it is at find this instead. thanks for all the insight everyone!!

Called by this company at my home number about part time job. I never give out my home number and had never heard about the company. Offered vague job details and asked if I wanted to write down directions. I told him I'd just look it up online. He said it wouldn't be on there so he would email them to me. I looked in the phone book and they weren't in there and all I could find online were complaints about them!

I recieved a call.... I love pyramid deals that work!

U guys are all f***ing idiots

Thank you for all of your posts. I now have all of your personal information too bad you thought that deal was a scam....  You should see the corporation I'm working in.

Placing "PART TIME CASH" stickers on my car. UNACCEPTABLE! I deal with it every other day.

It looks like someone was sick of this crap. I was on my way to "interview" and the was "SCAM" spray painted all over this place. Good for that.

I got a call yesterday on my cell from a guy named Brady. I would like to know how he got my cell phone # as I am very careful only not to give out my phone number to anyone. I would love to meet this Brady to tell him what I think of him. Does anyone know where this is located? Can we stop these phone calls?

I just got that call a little bit ago! They called my boyfriends number. I am looking for a job so they asked for me. I didn't get any information. They set up an appointment. I am not going in. You sell anti-aging cream!! wtf. It's pretty bad we have a horrible economy and there are people like that!

dude... Brady is the s**t. I met him the other day at the wellness center and i wont lie,I was pretty skeptical before i went into the overview deal, but he was straight up honest with me and answered all my questions. I googled this number because before i went in my family googled it and told me not to go but... me and my mom went.its all good. he actually did get my number from my friend from high school.  I havent talked to that kid in like 4 years but he thought i might want to make some extra money so... tu-shay

repeated calls on caller I.D.

Same Brady who puts those post it size stickers on cars in parking lots. "Part time work." I call it an invasion of privacy.

This is a company called Symmetry Direct.I was duped into going to a "company overview" that they called an "interview" at the time. They ushered me into this room that was set up like a conference center, had me watch a bunch of videos on aging, and then started in on their vitamins that are super expensive. They have this god juice called "genesis" that is expensive as hell and has aloe vera in it, which isn't good for your system. Anyway, I went, they wanted me to drop upwards of $600 on the spot, and to sign up for a weekend trip to Chicago for their "training seminar." I politely told them to take a hike. It's not worth it. I don't like that they call and pretend that it's a job though. That's borderline on fraud.

Scott called me from this company too. His number is 269-978-6877. He same the same thing to me and wanted me to come in for a "company overview". I thought it was weird the way they were doing things so I decided to read up on it.

Brady called and asked if I was interested in part time work (which I am not). I have no idea how he got a hold of my NEW cell phone number. I have only had it for two weeks and have not given it out to ANYONE!!!! The only company that should have the number is my cell phone company. Do you think they sold it? Hmmmm...

I recieved a phone call from the same company, only the caller was a man names Scott. His number is 269-978-6877. He wanted me to come in for a "company overview", but luckily I read up on it before I went. Did anyone else get a similar call?

Thank you so much for the information. I got a call on Tuesday from this Brady guy and he asked me if I wanted to come in for an interview today for a part time job. I was getting ready this morning and decided to check up on them and then I found this. I never remembered putting in an app. for this! I'm so glad I didn't waste my time going down there. My whole family thought it was fishy and they were right. Thanks again!

there calling from a 978 number as well, location is the same. Alyssa would not give me any information on the phone on how they got my name or what the company does.

I also received a call from this number regarding a part time job. I bother calling him back and have no idea where he got my cell phone number from.

A man named Alex just called me from there asking me if I still had room for employment. I am a two time felon and I'm sure know one would hire me even with my resume being full of great construction and matenience refrences. He said that he wanted me to train others, but failed to describe what exactly.I know my resume is not in the public and with my criminal history I don't see why I was called. I googled-(wellness cener kalamazoo) And found this site. I am completly sure something is fishy. If they have called me they will call you,esspecially if they found my # out of all people.

Offered me a job but was reulctuant to give me any information as to how she heard about me. I demanded address, phone number, company name and after about 5 minutes of arguing she gave them to me. I googled, and called her back and told her i knew it was a scam. She said "sorry, you're loosing out on a great oppourtunity".

I just got this call today and I'm not bothering to call back with this going on...What exactly does this scam consist of?

Same here.  Got a call from Brady at 269-343-3044 offering part time work "if you're still interested" as if I was a past applicant.  It's probably an auto-dialer going from one number to the next to see who picks up.  2-24-09

Same here.  Got a call from Brady at 269-343-3044 offering part time work "if you're still interested" as if I was a past applicant. 2-24-09

I got a call today from "brady" at this same number. I only have a cell #, wonder how got ahold of them...

It's bogus.It's "Kalamazoo Cooperative Wellness Center" also called Symmetry Direct. Running some employment scam.And the guy was Brady, not Grady.....

Some guy named Brady or Grady called about a part time job i supposedly had applied for. No idea how they got my number, but this whole thing is bogus. Never said the name of the company or anything, i think this thing is one big scam!

I got a message on my answeing machine from some guy about a "part time job" i supposedly had applied for. No idea who this is or what they think they're trying to do, but i think its bogus

Put it isn't well known. It's called Symmetry Direct and it's a scam operation. They have no work, and no jobs, and they want YOU to invest in their pyramid scheme!

Asked me if I was still interested in part time work for a company they never mentioned. This is a scam, there is no company!

"Part time work" "Referred by a friend" Didn't mention the name of the company or the name of the friend who referred me. This is someone trying to scam people for their personal information.

"We're calling you to see if you are interested in part time work. We were referred to you by a friend."Did not say the name of the company or the supposed friend who referred me. This is probably the same people who called me a few months ago called Westmac asking if I was interested in part or full time work. These people are trying to scam you to get your personal information!

I have no idea who this is.

This is Symmetry Direct calling to see if you are interested in joining their pyramid scheme.They will call with a "we're calling to see if you are looking for full or part time work/employment" and then invite you to a job interview which is really a 3 hour long brain washing session.Used to be called Westmac, now going by Kalamazoo CoOperative Wellness Center.

This company is SYMMETRY DIRECT!They are illegally obtaining phone numbers of people calling to ogger "full or part time employment" but are operating a MLM scam.Don't bother calling back!

Yeah, i got a call from "jenna" and she did not answer when I called her. I looked up anything on west michigan advanced concepts and nothing shows up. Dont be like every other gullable person and fall for scams.

Same thing happened to me today, and i'm glad that you put this info up. I have been looking for a job hard core since i graduated from WMU in Dec. I had got a call a copy of weeks ago, from a head hunter recruiter and thought this might be the same from some where I posted my resume. I was confused that no company name was given, and that i had to ask her the name of the company. I also spoke with Jenna, and I'm really werided out, I don't think i'm going to go to the interview and hope they leave me ago.

had a call from john barton also.  I never called back and i will also be going to WMu next year.  glad i found this information on the web about it.  helped me not to waste my time.people are rediculous!

same as everyone else. Cheryl called my parents from 269-342-5770. about a job. WestMac sounds a lot like a theatre i was trying to get a job with and figured my dad was just saying it wrong so i called back! realized it wasnt but i still need a job so i set up an appointment! Thanks for all your posts so i know not to go

Hi all,WOW! I must have been one of the FIRST recipients of this! I got a call probably 4 or 5 months ago from "WestMac Health and Wellness." I was VERY confused about what it was since I hadn't applied anywhere. The only thing I could think of was that (I'm a WMU Student) and had recently created a BroncoJobs.com account, but I saw the article in the Herald today...WEIRD!

yep same thing happend to me, have an interview tomoro at one, sounds like a scam too me, has anyone gone to the interview?

I also got a phone call from this guy named John Barton but it was at the beginning of january and i declined an interview after i found nothing on the company. I also go to WMU

My parents got a phone call from this company, I called and they didn't answer.  I got a phone call today even though I never gave them my cell #.  I called back and they didn't answer.  The message on my voicemail said "west Michigan Advanced Concepts".  Don't give them any information!  When they called my parents they said they were from west mac...

I got the call at around 11am asking if anybody had called them from my phone number looking for a job. I had said it was unlikely, so the guy asked me if I would be interested in a job. Hell, why not. So they asked me a bunch of questions typical of an employer, such as whether or not I went to school, if I was currently employed, what other job experience I had, and so on. They said they were a health and wellness (Kind of redundant I think) company. And they scheduled an interview for the same day and gave me directions to their place. They said it was in the same building as Centennial Wireless. After I got off the phone I decided to google the address to make sure they had given me the right directions. And then I had seen this page so I figured I'd take a gander. After all the things I've read I decided not to go.Also, the number they gave me was 269-381-8381, and they told me to ask for Brady when I got there. The name of the place was WestMac or something to that effect.

They are getting numbers from college directories.Someone that may go to WMU is involved with the scam, brings in a student book with contact info, and they start making calls asking if they are seeking "full or part time employment."Total scam though. They want you to pay $300 to invest in a business plan, and then sign you up for their weekend trip which is another $300.http://symmetrydirectscam.weebly.com has the best info about this place.It appears to be a compliation of a bunch of places operating this scam.

Got a phone call from Jenna- 269-382-0375 on wednesday and set up an interview for today. She said it was a health and wellness company and it didn't really matter what experience I had. I DO have experience and when I asked her what she already knew about me it became obvious that she didn't know ANYTHING! I also tried to get her to email me information and she wouldn't and she could not tell me where she got my number- just that she was "referred" from her "boss" and was asked to follow up. I decided not to go in on Friday and called to reschedule and she was really annoyed and said she wanted to get me in ASAP to get things going and rescheduled me for Tuesday. I then asked her then name of the company, got this website and realized the sham. I left a message on her machine (she didn't answer when I called her back again) giving her the name of this website and telling her I would do a police report.

Same thing happened to me... I am in desperate need of a job though, so let me know what this is all about.

The same thing just literally happened to me. Called my parents house too.

SO my parents got this call from 12693434222 on Monday, supposedly it belongs to someone named John Barton.  He said that he was from Westmac in Kalamazoo michigan.  Asking if i was still interesting in a job.  Well heres the thing, i never even heard of this place, but i'm new to kalamazo,so i called him back.  He didn't answer the first time, so i gave him my cell and told him to call me back.  Well, he did and was very vague about what this company does, saying that they are a Health and Wellness company.  I asked him how he got my phone number, and he said that someone had refered me.  Well here's the funny thing, i NEVER give out my parents number, i don't even live there anymore, have for like 9 months, and I havne't used their number for anything for years! (thats why i got a cell) SO i decided to see what this is all about and i have an interview with them tomorrow at 1pm.  I"m guessing this is somehow a scam, but i'm willing to see what happens.  i'll let everyone know!~MariaP.S. this company is supposedly on Sprinkle, just south of Killgore.  The address is 5148 Sprinkle Rd. Kalamazoo, Mi.  They are supposedly in the same complex/office as Centennial wireless.  WIsh me luck!

I've gotten multiple unsolicited phone calls from this place. Did some research with the phone number and appears to be a funeral home.
