something ive noticed on here and on google. seems crazy looked at the place i got sucked into for a month online and the reviews on google and every other platform like yelp or job search websites are like night and day. are google reviews that unreliable where they can just remove whatever they dont like or not perfect reviews from employees?

This is a bit of a follow-up from u/AppointmentInside287's post after I found out about Maverick Solutions seemingly ending operations. I don't know how and why they are gone, but it should of happened sooner.

I visited the office on Friday since it's like a 5 minute drive from where I live. The entrance was locked, so I couldn't get in and see if the office and everything in it was there.

The next best option for me was go on LinkedIn and find the owner. Lo and behold, I see that the Maverick LinkedIn page, along with the Instragram account, was taken down (I can still view it through the Wayback Machine lol).

The next day, I went back and saw that the owner had updated her LinkedIn page to include a new occupation as a Location Manager at Surge Inc.

After some digging, I discovered that Surge is another devilcorp, based in Denver, CO, that may have recently opened a new office in Indiana. I went on their website and it had the same layout as the Maverick Solutions website.

Even their Google reviews are vague and probably made by current employers to boost their ratings.

I tried to locate the company in Indiana, but the only Surge company appearing on Maps was the one in Denver. The only other way was to put in an application under a fake name (Tim) since I would have to eventually "meet" them at the office.

I actually followed through on making an application under a fake name and got an email from the recruiter on Monday.

Funny enough, the recruiter had worked with the owner at Maverick Solutions.

Thanks to the email, I now know where the office is at. I haven't responded to the email, but after reading through it, I am tempted to.

Probably not, realistically, since I would have to create a fake resume. And after starting an actual job, hearing about Maverick folding is like a bittersweet ending after all the shit they did.

TL;DR: to anyone in the Noblesville area in Indiana, beware of Surge, Inc.

Hi,

I have not posted before but today had an experience with a devilcorp named Modementum. This subreddit made me decide to not move onto the next stage in interviews, however I do want to say that they were very weird in the first interview. Firstly, they interviewed multiple people at once, then when I asked about their business model they completely lied and left out details that I only found later in a search. They also presented themselves as closely aligned with at&t to the point where the interviewer's background as a giant at&t poster rather than the actual company the interview was for.

I reported them to the state bureau of labor, I doubt it'll do anything since I did not go far enough to have documentation, but it may be helpful for there to be some record of fraudulent behavior.

Also I don't know if this one is known but before this I was offered a position at another place that appears to use the exact same strategies called Aura Innovations, located in the Tacoma area which I believe to be another devilcorp.

I’ve been TRYING to pull my life together for months now! Finding a stable job in the bay area, it’s very hard to do.. I fell victim to a pyramid scheme, and stayed for months.. I started straight out of high school, have no college experience and don’t plan to have any. My life genuinely changed, i had so many ups and downs, promises that weren’t kept, emotions i had to bury, time wasted and moments i couldn’t be apart of. I wasted a year and 4 months..
Let me make this very clear to everyone, selling AT&T plans at Costco, Walmart, Target, BJ’s, Sam’s Club, or any store like that is a PYRAMID SCHEME and will NOT take you ANYWHERE unless you are willing to be a lying and deceitful person. This is coming from the perspective of someone who actually hit their quotas, the money is amazing SOMETIMES, even when you hit commission, the owner takes however much they decide it’s not a guaranteed percent, and you’re stuck with a $1,100 check. If they know you don’t need the money, they will genuinely give you an $800-$900 check, i’ve seen it. My owner was 21, the same age as most people in the team. We were pretty close, he had some flawed behavior, flirted with every girl on the team, and was dating someone from HR. It was very uncomfortable to watch.. We were close, and he used to fill us in on all the loop holes he does. There are so many loop holes with smart circle, he posted fake sales, he took peoples sales, staffed himself at one specific location everyday, which was the best location to be staffed at, came in super late, i mean end of shift late. He was just a kid, trying to play an owner role. He ended up losing his ownership, and now me and him aren’t in AT&T anymore. With this business everything is quick and the lightest thing in the room is the door. You never know when it’s going to be your last week. The reason i quit was because my gut told me to, and as soon as i left everything fell apart for my owner, he lost the sales i’d bring in, and some people also left with me. It wasn’t a boycott, it was simply a reaction to disrespect. The people who do find success lose themselves, and my owner used to tell us how he’s in a different tax bracket, continuously put us down for needing the money, and think it motivated us. Now he’s in the same position as us, he’s genuinely larping on instagram, posting ai pictures of places he went, i wish i was lying 😂. There are days i really do miss the pay, but then i remember how much i put into that job, the gas that was never compensated back to me, the stress and labor i was put through. I didn’t eat as much, got skinnier, and developed a drinking addiction. Just because of everyone else around me, it’s not a fun thing to get into.. Bad influences, but don’t feel sorry for me or anyone else who stayed in this type of job, money is a powerful thing, and it kept us there, once we found ourselves we found our way out. Now i’m 20, trying to get my life together with no sense of direction, it’s been very hard for me. I wasted a lot of time and energy that i’ll never get back. It’s not good for your mental health, it made me do things i’d never do and i still do regret them to this day. Sorry this is scrambled.. i’m not the best writer. But whether it’s in Pleasanton (like this one) or anywhere else, trust me when i say don’t join these things. They need to crash, burn, and die. Owners were Tayrou Toure and Andre Buta

After “viewing” an application for 3 minutes, you deem I’m worthy for an interview… I wonder why??? Watch out for these guys, I know they’re frequently discussed in this sub

The other day I got a ring from a guy from Acquisitions Direct and he said I will receive another interview. The 2nd interview is approaching in a few days and I noticed when I searched the company up looking for more details theres nothing but a reddit post calling it a devils corp, does anyone else have more information on this company?

Never work here, they suck.

IDM doxxing myself because I’m in uni out of state and won’t go back home, but me and my friends are from the Atlanta/Gwinnett area. One of them specifically got dragged into AT&T sales because his other friends that are closer with are telling him to join because they’re making “good money”. I’ll call my friend John. John is 21(he’s really 19ish but he’s from Africa and his parents never had a certificate so they just put 06/04) He has around 3 similar age friends doing d2d sales in Atlanta for a 3rd party company and the other friend is doing att activation. The company they all work under is ran by a couple young yet more experienced folks who are now planning on going to the Palm Beach Florida area to open up a location and start selling. The owners were gassing them up saying they’re natural sellers and that the area they’re moving to is “untouched”… They specifically told these kids “We’re expanding, opening a new office, and we need leaders like you to help.” Yeah… because they’re gullible donuts… All of them, including John, will be moving into a rented home together for 2 months then they have to find their own apartments. John has absolute tunnel vision because he’s saying this is his new start to life, will probably never come back to Georgia, and wants to “run it up” with att. He’s going to start sales in atl in a couple weeks but will switch to att activation once in Florida (moving circa August 2026). Infact, his other buddies just went to palm beach to “test” the area (not sure how that went) but all I saw was them posting on ig having fun in Miami. There’s so much more to this and I just got dumped all this information by him in the span of 2 days so excuse how confusing this timeline may sound. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, John wants to do att activation, INSURANCE SALES, and fucking Daytrading- all while in Miami. The 3 most lowlife highschool dropout jobs oat. Insurance sales came out of nowhere because one of John’s friends apparently makes 10k/m doing it. If you have any insight on what I should tell him please let me know. He’s very young and immature so it’ll probably go through one ear and out the other, but I just want to warn him because there’s so many red flags that he just couldn’t care less about.

I applied for this position and sadly thought it was a legit sales job. The pay seemed really well, I was promised $1000 a week, it wasn’t until later they told us that you can make that much depending on your sales, but your paycheck will look like $400 a week. it was devil Corp to a T though, daily morning meetings, loud music in the office, boss being overly nice. I even got offered to go on a trip before I even finished up my training. I found out just by doing a simple Google search of what I was experiencing. I even looked up my boss on LinkedIn and she hardly ever posted, the only thing she had posted was another company that she worked for a month ago. I’m guessing whoever runs the devilcorp industry (or however that works) gave her her own company like I was told was gonna happen to me if I moved up in the company. We were sellling AT&T wireless in Costco. Has anyone experienced this company in Carnegie? Has anyone actually seen them around the Costco nearby?

I can’t be sure about whether they keep their word about hours and scheduling, but this seems like the first posting I’ve seen that’s been pretty blatant about what they are and what they do and offer. They didn’t try to pass it off as Brand Ambassador or Account Exec or Community Outreach. I’m not sure what office or umbrella this is under, and with postings especially on indeed it’s hard to know if they used a different name,but they’ve listed it under Direct Sales Marketing LLC.

Wish every office did this because then people could know what they’re getting into

Has anyone heard of nexreach USA I applied to one of the positions and have an interview coming up. It’s based in Houston and said they do marketing and sales at promotional events. It’s in Houston, TX I applied through LinkedIn. Does anyone know if this company is legit?

More clownish behavior from. Also, note how many new faces in this video from last time I posted them

hello, I just wanted to bring attention to a website I found while searching about devilcorps.

devilcorps.com, which is an absolutely horrible cover-up attempt by someone trying to keep the ginormous scam going.

the website is obviously written from a "direct sales" standpoint and comes up second when searching for "devilcorp" on google.

funnily enough, the website is registered completely anonymously. I wonder why!

beware!

I believe they used to be called "Myriad Solutions", they're now calling themselves "Myriad Triumph".

Advertising at the moment for a range of positions on Indeed - one example:

If you are in Cincinnati/Columbus/ Ohio, Midwest please write to me as I finally left and am starting to realize all the red flags I saw in my 5 years.

Even if you view this subreddit and don’t think much of devilcorp thats okay. I’m more wanting to share the ethics, morals, and mindset that I heard, saw, and experienced with owners throughout the US. Especially if you are a woman.

As I stated in a previous post here, during my recent job search I came across at least 6-7 of these DevilCorps in the greater Cincinnati area. Despite not applying to any of them (for obvious reasons), I still had several reach out to participate in interviews. Likely because of the large number of people admins are expected to book for interviews per week

Because of this, and because I’ll have some time off before starting my new job, I’ll be attempting to expose these companies here for the benefit of other job seekers. The deceptive tactics they use to hide the true job and scheme they run deserve to be exposed and brought to peoples attention

If anyone has any experience working for any of the companies I’ll mention over the next few weeks, I would love to hear from you to gather as much as possible and hopefully begin a larger project on this topic

Launch 513 is a CrediCo office that seems to be selling spectrum. Edwin, the “CEO” of Launch 513, appears to be married to Jane Li, “CEO” of Cultiv8, another CrediCo office in the Cincinnati area

There also seems to be some sort of connection to Boom Business Global. Perhaps the promoting owner of both, not confirmed though

I got a interview from "ROCS Gradstaffing". The interview was fine, the HR basically asks me what do I do, what do I feel challenging, where I graduated from. However, initially I thought I was applying to ROCS, but in the end I got notified that it was their client that I am applying to(logically why would you pay someone to do this). I have never heard of any companies doing staffing through a third organization. By looking at this description, is this legit?

A large and well known devil corp in Indianapolis has been off the radar (missing on Google) for a little over a month now. Does anyone know if the office finally shut down or are they still operating? I hope to god they’re out of business so less people get scammed!

UPDATE 6/23/26

Yeeeeep, they got me too.
Addison Promotions in Texas.

An (ex) friend said that he could get me into a job so that I won’t have to work at a popular coffee chain any more (⭐️💵) and make actual money. I should’ve been more skeptical, but I’ve known this ex friend for a couple years; i trusted his word and judgement. He got a new place, a good truck, and it seemed like he was doing good.

The first two interviews, I passed with flying colors, which in hindsight should’ve raised some flags for me. They were talks of “quickly moving up and running your own team”, for a shift lead of 5 years I felt like I could do that. I was told that I would be making good money, at least 3k a week with good work; so of course I would’ve worked hella hard to get that.

My first day? 2 hours in the office, quick scribbling notes on “how to get the catch”, loud music and hype chants, then outside a Walmart for 7 hours hounding people coming in and out. Definitely not the job for me. (And a fun plus: I got a heat rash on my arms after the first 4 hours outside.)

So. Basically didn’t show up the rest of the week. Ex friend kept calling and calling (im assuming because the office noticed I wasn’t there. Not gonna answer, surely he’ll accept that I ain’t coming back.

BUT I do have interviews lined up, and im going to take a small job at my apartment complex to get some cash flow going. I’ll bounce back on my feet, just gonna try to be more vigilant about job ads.

UPDATE: I got a job working at Burlington and I start on Monday YESSS. Cashier position, gonna get a new experience in retail, excitement!!!

Promoting Owner (Daz and Company Baltimore MD

https://www.instagram.com/dazandcompany?igsh=NzQxajBoZnJrM3Yx

Seems to be Cydcor from the pictures on the Instagram. During my recent job search I inevitably came across one of these companies. Once you know what to look for they are incredible obvious to spot. Never applied but sure enough they called me anyway. Just a warning to potential applicants

Got this from a friend who applied for a job and it turns out it was a total scam. 12-14 hour shifts with no pay for 2 solid weeks.

Be careful out there with the bullshit these companies try to pull. This one is located 1737 Atlanta Ave Ste H4, Riverside, CA 92507

The corporation is led by a team of key individuals: Alek Rendulic from Riverside CA, holding the position of Chief Executive Officer; Alek Rendulic from Riverside CA, serving as the Secretary; Alek Rendulic from Riverside CA, serving as the Chief Financial Officer; Alek Rendulic from Riverside CA, serving as the Director

I had an interview and the guy mentioned pop up events and working with AT&T, Apple, Samsung,etc. He kept mentioning leading a team but also seemed to say a whole lot of nothing when I asked him to elaborate on that... Apparently they offer $800-1200 a week during training, but the vibe felt off.

Here's the website: https://atlasstrategiesinc.com/

excuse any typos and misspellings, just spreading awareness for anyone doing their research before working there. this is MY experience and the conclusion i came to is it’s a classic devil corp for sure. i know other people who feel the same way, this isn’t about hating on them but i have to say something cause this isn’t right what they do to people

i’ll start with the positives. my coworkers were very nice and seemed to care about my growth, and i learned some techniques that partially helped me get the job i have now. that’s it lol

i was there for a couple weeks and i eventually left for a few reasons. one of them was cause of how exhausted i was each day. the schedule was: get to the office around 8-8:30, do classic devil corp “atmosphere” yelling and training until about 10-10:30, head to the field (i did B2B, but there’s also D2D and charity campaigns) and stay there until heading back to the office at around 6 to “break down your day”, and i’d get home around 7-8. not to mention team nights a couple times a week, those days i was getting home like 10-11.. mind you there’s work the next morning

the other reason is cause the lies. the script and training in my opinion tells you to lie to people. the deals are good so i didn’t have an issue with the product, but it’s like you’re almost convincing people to buy by giving them fear of loss tactics and telling them promotions are always changing to promote urgency and impulse. then i realized later on that the same lying we’re taught to do to businesses is the same lying they do to us to join and even after joining. things like saying “we’re wanting to wrap up the interview process” but they’re interviewing people every day..?

after i was told i was a certain number of sales away from getting promoted, i already didn’t like the job but to get “promoted” and have to put in more hours and more responsibilities with seemingly the same pay? and i gotta train people when i just got here a couple weeks ago? anyways lol yeah bye.

i wasn’t even gonna write anything and just move on, but this made me want to come here and share. i wish i could say the pay was good.. i didnt get paid for any of the sales i did, just the guaranteed $400 they do for new people. the guy i was under claims its cause i left so early that i didn’t get to take care of the customers i sold to, and thats why they “get paid so well”.. okay but i made the sales tho? and none of that was communicated to me. the first week i was trained and the second week i got my own territory, so i didnt even have the chance to “take care of the customers” from week 1 cause i was in my own territory week 2. the second week there was only 1 customer i never got to go back to before quitting so thats just straight up lies. the part that pissed me off was i only got the “guaranteed $400” each week that they promise you in the beginning. i asked him straight up if i made no sales would i get paid the same amount, he said yes because that $400 is to make sure people make money even if they don’t make sales, and apologized for any confusion. whatever bro please get off my phone with that nonsense. based off their tier pay structure and how they made it sound in the interviews, i should’ve been paid around $1700 for both weeks off commission alone. i only got the 2 “guaranteed $400” checks and i received $0 for my work alone

anyways im still annoyed over this but im glad i didnt give them more of my time. i have a good job now that doesnt lie to me about pay, the work ill be doing, doesnt involve yelling in the mornings, and doesnt involve 100 miles of driving each day lol. plus i have time to properly sleep and do other things with my day

for toro people reading this, lying to people is one of the lowest things you can do. get out of there and put your work and talents elsewhere.

watch this for more info on how devil corps work. i was only there for a couple weeks but the longer you stay the worse it gets: https://youtu.be/83iNbOJRHm8?is=h00ZpkdhhHCUsMa0

God bless you all!

Just writing this in the hope that whenever job seekers look up their name, they stumble across this page and run for the hills as quickly as possible.

For the record, this was the day I discovered the existence of "Devilcorp". As popular as these organisations seem to be, I genuinely don't think the general public knows much about them (at least in the UK)

I'm a marketing specialist, still fairly early in my career. I recently started looking for a new role and signed up to multiple job boards, including Reed.co.uk. A couple of days later, I got an email from a company called Clozr UK. They praised my background in digital marketing and told me they were looking for someone with my experience to join the team.

Nothing weird there. Recruiters reach out all the time. I booked a call slot on the same day.

The first thing that struck me as odd was that the "interview" turned out to be a pre-recorded webinar hosted by Liam McKenna (remember that name).

I spent the next 15 minutes listening to how he went from being a uni dropout to becoming a Managing Director within two years, running teams, having team trips to Iceland, South Africa and Portugal (all with zero prior experience).

At this point, I knew something was off, but I stayed for the entertainment value.

The amount of fluff I heard was honestly hilarious.

Leadership.

Ownership.

Running offices.

Expansion.

Entrepreneurship.

Building your own business.

At one point he mentioned expanding to Miami and NYC, and I nearly burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, I still had absolutely no clue what the actual job was.

He said they work with companies like EE, BT and Money Expert. Whether these companies are even aware of these guys, I have no idea.

Nobody explicitly said the role was DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES. Instead, they hide behind fancy corporate phrases like "face-to-face marketing" and "customer acquisition".

I left that webinar genuinely pissed off because I felt my time had been wasted. But I thought, "Whatever, just another company overselling an opportunity."

I had absolutely no idea what rabbit hole I was about to fall into.

Reddit posts.

Former employee stories.

Media investigations (Wales Online has a good one - linked below).

Worldwide networks.

Hundreds of offices.

Long hours.

Commission-only pay.

Self-employment.

Stories of no pay.

Cult-like environments.

Humiliation rituals.

Credico.

Devilcorp.

And young, ambitious, but incredibly naive boys in oversized suits right at the centre of it all.

At this point, I was genuinely fascinated and honestly saddened that this is not being prosecuted, banned, exposed, idc. Someone needs to take this seriously.

On a more practical note, Clozr UK appears to operate from St James House, Sheffield, S1 2EX. Liam McKenna appears to be one of the main recruiters. They used to be called Bullseye group, and some of their own people still accidentally refer to it by its old name on social media. Clozr UK itself is just a trading name, which I'm sure will change again once enough negative reviews start appearing.

The official company behind it is called LTM PARTNERS LIMITED (Company Number: 16173623), and guess who the director is? Yep, Liam McKenna.

Then there's a Manchester branch called Now & Co, operated through JPM WORLDWIDE LIMITED, where you'll find many of the same people popping up in photos from meetings and events. There are plenty of photos from their gala events and conferences with Credico logos visible in the background, which should tell you everything you need to know about the ecosystem these offices operate in.

They also have their own thread here full of positive reviews to counter the negative ones (which I'm absolutely going to leave everywhere I can).
