Advertising Review
On July 20, 2011, we wrote to this company advising them we believe that based on their complaints, questionable advertising is the underlying source of their complaint activity. We asked the company to provide us with copies or links to their current employment recruitment ads; substantiation for the “$4000 per month” earning claims made by company representatives; evidence that background checks are actually performed when applicants apply for management positions, and, statistics on what percentage of applicants are NOT hired as a result of applying for their employment offer. We offered the company our assistance with finding ways to modify employment ads to provide a clearer picture of the true nature of their offer. To date we have not received a response.

US Safety has rebranded itself as National Safety & Security, they still post on Craig's List looking to hire managers for the new stores they are claiming to be opening up in the next 90 - 120 days. They still have their fire safety program but are now including personal safety & protection devices now. When the potential candidates are called by Julie/Debbie/Lacey or whatever name she goes by at the time she calls candidate to come for the make-believe job interview. They have changed a few things alittle bit, but they still uses the the same old tricks that they been using years:

$75 dollar background check fee.
$99 sales kit fee.
$99 poorly written sales manual.
Map with pins showing the phony offices that will not be opened.

They still managed to attract people who really need a job, they still managed take money from. And they still say that no selling is involved and they are that they must a certain $ amount in order to move the next stage of their training. People must carefully research job ads that say no experienced is needed,most of them only after they have put forward the money to be involved with the company
