moving on… Mr steve introduces himself and begins conducting not an interview but a lecture about what im still not quite clear on til now..

He then goes on to blow his own trumpet claiming to have made his 1st million when he was 26 which is 4 yrs ago and adds he owns properties across the globe and never uses public transport lol.

At this point it is all mind games…marketing tactics to be in control of the situation and make you feel beneath him and envy his position in the company.

After boring the crap out of you, he tries to conduct an interview for each individual in the same room infront off all the candidates 4 hours later as if he were alan sugar giving you the oppertunity of a life time.

He also claims to have met Alan Sugar, Richard Branson and many other Big Shots as if they are freinds and go for regular meals lol.

At the end of it they call me back for the training and suprisingly enough Mr Punn the millionairre CEO is back here conducting the training as if he has nothing more important to take care of.

At this point i am beginning to develop this gut feeling something isnt quite right but i brush the feeling thinkin maybe i’m lookin too much into it.

we are then told the 1st week training is not paid for but the following 2 are. by the 3rd day i have finally researched into the company and gladly thanks to forums such as these am able to back my gut feelings with others experiences. After having wasted 3 days of my time i call mr punn b4 going business to business for him for free and tell him 2 go and F**K himself because i am on to his scam. HAHAHAHAHAHA

P.S. id like to thank the guyz from forums such as this one for backing my gut feeling and giving me closure on the fact i was right all along about this pyramid scam. cummon wot millionaire ceo actually trains new trainees himself. Its all an act for the week, and im sure there’s guyz still out their that i began training with gettin ripped off as we read and unfortunately as i do not have their contact details, cannot warn them. Oh well… maybe they’ll just have 2 learn the hard way im just glad i didnt have 2 go door 2 door for weeks before clocking on to it myself….

He was told “we train you the first week then send you out to get sales (signups for telecoms and broadband) for the following two weeks ‘BUT’ you will not be paid for your time because “we want people who are going to get sales and not just take a wage”.

Incidentally the job lead was sourced through our local Benefits Agency and advertised as ‘sales manager £12,000 p.a. plus bonuses. Funnily enough though ‘XLN Telecoms’ was not mentioned as the company name until he got to the interview (I suspect if it had been, the Benefits Agency would have had nothing to do with them) given their profile on the net.

He was not offered reimbursement for his travel expenses in attending the interview.

An old cynic like me might then assume that what this organisation is doing is using relatively ‘green’ and desperate young people to go out unpaid for two weeks to generate leads for them and then ‘bag’ them off with not so much as a thank you and little, if anything, to show for their efforts, apart from a harsh lesson in being exploited. Be warned !!!!!!

(Here is their ads! They all say the same thing and they hire every week to replace all the ones that quit the week before!)

Dylan james management is currently recruiting for candidates to join their team. We are part of a rapidly expanding management group, seeking individuals of the highest calibre to drive the growth of our business as part of a multi million pound expansion plan. We offer full training specifically tailored to our unique business concept, which is based in and around the north west.

(there are no managers or “management group”! Everyone is a “manager
trainee” or “team leader trainee”! There are no salespeople! You are the sales person! There is no “multi-million pounds”! Alan Gray is broke and he will tell you that all the time to explain why he don’t pay you!)

Job spec :
- train, build, manage and motivate a team of 6 – 10 people that specialize in new customer acquisition.
- pro-active and willing to work alongside their team members.
- to be a leader and an excellent role model within the organisation.
- ensure that all employees under your supervision uphold Dylan James management’s values and codes of practice.
- hitting set individual and team targets to achieve continuous growth.
- train new employees and evaluating their performance in accordance with company targets and policies.

(you are taken to the street door to door on your second day by another
“manager trainee” who thinks you are on his team, and if you don’t sell
anything by Friday, you are sacked! There are no employees! you are all self employed and you have to pay your own taxes and insurance and travel money out of your own pocket! Michael Bradwell, the muscleman and “enforcer” for Alan Gray’s values and code of practice, is the only employee and he only makes £300 a week!)

Successful candidates must be:
- applicants must have good communication skills and be self-motivated.
- be extremely enthusiastic and hardworking.
- willing to push boundaries and work under pressure in an extremely fast paced environment.
- posses a genuine desire for individual success and growth in accordance with company terms and conditions.
- highly motivated and able to manage motivate and grow a strong successful team.
- enthusiastic with a positive attitude, whatever the circumstances.

(they look for the young people and out of work and desperate and are gullible and believe their lies about big salary and a desk job as a manager! You can’t question anyone about anything or you get sacked and they tell everyone else that you were negative and thats why they quit you! You are not allowed to call anyone after they quit and they even tell you on your first day you can’t exchange phone numbers with other “manager trainees” in case they quit because they figured it out too!)

Whilst previous managerial experience is preferable, it is not essential, as we will provide a fully funded intensive training programme to all successful applicants. The majority of our current staff had no relevant experience when they started the position, we are more concerned with hiring candidates based on their personalities and work ethics rather than what they may or may not have done in the past.

Remuneration:
- the training academy is fully funded for all successful candidates.

(there is no “fully funded training programme”! you are self employed so you can’t ask for a basic and you are on straight commission. Your sales only pay for their wages. They call the first week the “values week” and if you don’t sell anything that week, you are sacked because you are not with their values they say! No pay for your work that week, and it actually cost you money to travel!)

- remuneration during the training programme is on two weekly basis and related directly to your performance.

(and if you don’t sell enough in the second week, the firewalk, they sack you before the two weeks are done and never pay you and tell you your sales were all canceled! They tell you are not an A player and you will get a commission after three weeks but you never will see it!)

- following successful completion of training you will be offered a salary of between 18k – 30k (OTE 40k – 100k) renegotiated every three months.

(there is never a salary! That is a lie! No one there is on a basic! That is why everyone quits after two weeks! You trust Alan Gray because he is convincing and he says he is a guy just like you! Then he turns right around and hires another 10 people he has lied to just like you every week!)

Candidates who are interested should contact Angela or Natalie on 0161 832 0608 before sending an e-mail of their CV to: [email address and website does not exist any more].

(Its not a management group, its a sales scam, and Alan Gray is a liar and a con artist! He doesn’t even work for Xln or Christian Nellemann! If you call Xln they will tell you that they have no connection to Alan Gray or Dylan James Management and they are not funding a million pounds for his expansion and Christian Nellemann’s name is not even supposed to be on the website for Dylan James!! All they will say to you is that he is a customer, just like Steven Punn! No one takes responsibility and they don’t hold anyone accountable for lying and cheating good honest people who just need a job! Steven Punn has been there for the whole time Xln has been open and has more complaints and scam reports than anyone! Just enter “xln” in the search engine here and look for your self! The only reason Alan Gray and Michael Bradwell don’t have more is because they have only been in business for 8 months! Just look at these other reports on them so far!)

(If you have been scammed by this company or threatened by Alan Gray or
Michael Bradwell, beware! They have very deep connections with drug dealers and gangsters in Ireland and they are very dangerous! Just respond to this report and send your email address and phone number confidential to the editor and there will be someone to contact you and take your statement. We have already got two more people who were scammed by them to stand up and I’m sure there will be a whole lot more to come!)

Thanks

I had an interview with XLN Telecom and though that there was something a little fishy in the interview process. The usual nonsense in so much as you are on a plane and it crashes in Alsaka .. etc etc… Then sandwiches and then the news… Sorry can you leave.. very rude indeed. Didn’t aknowledge anyone even as they were walking out the door. Perhaps they may have thought we were too bright… only looking for the lame and gullible.

XLN, EA Worlwide , Aspire Aquisitions.. all use Total Jobs and Gumtree to sell there ideals.

Methods like Moneybookers can be expensive and slow, with Escape you avoid such problems. They are available from Phones 4u stores. Check out the website for more information http://www.escape-prepaid-card.com/bgesc and a video which explains how it works too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daFqjCAwfRI

Are you kidding me? Let’s put it this way, are you still there now?

And the managers that are there – how well do you know them?

Be sceptical my friend. When something is too good to be true, it’s…

Anyway, does this sound familiar?

I still have that feeling in my gut that something just isnt right but if it is possible to make that type of money through this scheme do I really want to throw this opportunity away?

usually 9/10 it will be transparent and you will be left with a tiny spot similar in size to a biro tip

£98 is a severly inflated price

if you are covered by full comp insurance it would of been free, a new windscreen would of been £60 xs

to put it into perspective most independent windscreen companys would probably charge in region of £30-49.50

Where can I find more sites like this?…

First of all, yes it’s absolutely critical in today’s world to have credit cards (try renting a car with cash for example). Secondly, your FICO Credit score is based in large part on your credit history- the higher your score the better your mortgage…

I was conned, I hope you read this before you are

My partner received a call from Google, asking for me. I took the call.

Telephone ; ‘Hello sir, I am calling from Google. Have you heard of Google?’

Me ; ‘Yes’

Telephone ; ‘Google is offering a service to small to medium businesses the chance to improve their ratings on the Google search pages, would you be interested in such a service?’

‘Me ; ‘Yes. Are you honestly from Google’

Telephone ; ‘Yes. I am calling you from their headquarters in London. What we are offering you is the chance to lift your Google ratings and guarantee you will be on the first or second pages of a goggle search whenever someone searches for your company using a combination of 60 keywords of phrases. How does that sound to you sir?’

Me ; ‘How do you get me up the listings, is it pay per click or sponsored links?

Telephone ; ‘No, no sir you will be displayed on the left hand side of the search page we do not use sponsored links.’

Me ; ‘Sounds great but how much will this cost me?’

Telephone ; ‘Well sir we are doing a special deal at the moment the price is usually 699 but the deal is 399.’

Me ; ‘399?’

Telephone ; ‘Yes, 399’

Me ; ‘Can you send me some details about what you are offering because I am only a small business and cant afford to spend almost £400’

Telephone ; ‘Let me stop you there sir. Did you say four hundred pounds sir?’

Me ; ‘yes’

Telephone ; ‘No its three ninety nine.’

Me ; ‘you mean three pounds ninety nine pence?’

Telephone ; ‘Yes sir’

Me ; ‘three pounds ninety nine pence?’

Telephone ; ‘That is correct, sir.’

Me ; ‘Oh i thought you meant £399.’

Telephone ; ‘I was wondering when you said £400’, laughs

I then agree to hand over my credit card details.
Three days later there is £399 taken off my credit card by someone called Sheriff Directories LTD.

I have called there has been no response, they know how to dance around providing a service. Oh and the service they offer is a pay per click service through Google at a much elevated cost, so really the offer no service at all. Go to Google.
Let this be a warning!
