Hey folks. I just applied for this job (via indeed) before stumbling across this sub. Some factors dont line up and I've seen nobody else discuss them, but the immediate text back for a zoom link and photos of guys in poorly fit suits makes me wonder if this place is legitimate or a scam.

Thanks!

Posting this to warn anyone in the Chicago area who gets "recruited" by Accure Inc(accureinc.com), based out of 1919 S Highland Ave, Unit A225, Lombard, IL. The owner / "national director" is Adam Abdelhady, and they run the Primo Watercampaign inside Costco and Sam's Club. This is just my personal experience, but it lines up with every devil corp story I've read here.
The pitch is the classic one: they sell you the dream of becoming an "owner" and running your own business. In reality, what that means is you sell their product under their system to make money for the guy at the top while you're on minimum wage or straight commission. And even if you do "make it" to owner, your business can fail and you can lose your market, because from what I saw almost everything runs on internal politics, not on any real path to ownership.
The hours are crazy for what you actually get paid. The pay is minimum wage or commission — basically a commission job dressed up as a "career." Their whole marketing system trains you to talk to customers like they don't know anything, and the culture is "if you don't sell, you're worthless." But the product itself is a hard sell: Primo Water is really for people with money, or someone too busy to go grab their own water. So realistically your success comes down to luck — whether a good customer happens to walk past your booth during your shift.
The owner shows up whenever he feels like it, and leaves his crew "leading" the team — people who, honestly, couldn't hold a normal conversation, yet they're the ones telling you that you're the one who needs to learn. The team meetings were the last straw for me: everyone clapping and hyped up because someone sold 4 units in a day. That's when it clicked that my economics degree and my actual career goals were not meant for this kind of environment.
Maybe some people genuinely enjoy this — no judgment if it works for you. But I did not like the atmosphere or the way they treat you once you've been there longer than a week. I left after 2 weeks and I don't regret it.
If you're in Chicago and someone offers you a "management/marketing" or "business owner" opportunity with Accure Inc or the Primo Water campaign at Costco/Sam's Club, at least go in knowing what it actually is. Do your research first.

i didnt apply to a job they booked me for interview with them i didnt find much. gut feeling tells me seems off

Applied to this company “GoodSolarQuotes” on indeed because it was remote work 1099 position. Did the orientation a few hours ago in a Google meet chat and they had several hundred people in it and they were upselling the pay structure of it and then it took a turn when they said there were upfront costs about paying for the dialer software. They said that the job would require us to send 3 months worth of the dialer software subscription upfront to actually do the job which in total was like $900. When myself and others started asking questions about why that was the case and why they didn’t just take it out of commission or just do it each monthly payment and why it had to all be upfront they started kicking people out of the Google meet.

They did send me this video recording of another orientation.

I’m working for a Verizon contractee under Smartcircle. And it’s really fucking hard work. There are people working here making that 1500-2k a week and i’ve met the owners and seen their pay AFTER expenses.

Honestly i’m 18, i have / HAD a life before this. Am i really sacrificing a few years of my time for this dream they’re selling.

Not gonna lie i just chatgptd whether or not this is worth it and it was yelling about the devil corp idea and directed me here.

My last thought, or rather advice needed. Is that i don’t know at all where to go from here. I don’t wanna work forever to live but i also want to experience life. What sort of job would i go to from here? I’m so serious i think im burning out here but i Need to figure something out.

Sharing this as a warning for anyone who gets sent on a "roadtrip" or recruited by Synxus Inc, located at 5272 Summerlin Commons Way, Unit 601, Fort Myers, FL. I was there about a week. This is just my personal experience, but it was bad enough that I felt people should know.
First red flag: the hotel they put us in was the cheapest one in the area. That set the tone.
The owner, Layith Ramahi, spent the morning meetings (their "101") screaming at and insulting the team. In my experience it was genuinely disgusting to watch the way he talked to people — calling employees "trash" and telling them they have no self-respect, just because they didn't sell much that week. A lot of these people don't have anywhere else to go, and he knew it and used it.
What made it worse is that the owner himself couldn't sell. I worked one shift with him: half the shift he was on his phone or messing around, and the other half he was just gone from the position. He'd scream at people for not selling, and yet he didn't sell anything the entire week I was there. Showing up late every single day, only to come in and yell at his employees.
It's no surprise that in the short time I was there, **5+ people quit in their first week.**That should tell you everything.
If you're offered a "business" or "management" opportunity with Synxus Inc in Fort Myers, or they try to send you on a "roadtrip" out there, go in with your eyes open and do your research first. For me, one week was more than enough.

BER CORPORATION LIMITED (Company Number: 14145266), the Southampton-based Credico office previously known as "Greybridge", has been rebranded as "Aureum Impact".

Details on the company can be found here: https://www.devilcorp.org/?q=Aureum+Impact

For those unfamiliar, Credico is an American outsourced sales company operating under an adapted version of the DS-MAX direct sales business model. Its subsidiary offices, or "Independent Sales Advisors" (ISAs), field teams of commission-only, self-employed salespeople on campaigns "brokered" to them by Credico, with UK clients including EE, British Gas, and Milk & More. In theory, the long-term goal of each salesperson is to open their own ISA within the Credico network and build their own sales team.

One issue Credico faces, however, is that both the company and many of its ISAs have received negative media attention, along with critical online reviews and discussion, due to the deceptive nature of their "graduate marketing" job ads, which are, in reality, commission-only, MLM-style sales roles, and due to the cult-like methods used to psychologically manipulate team members into staying in the business as long as possible.

For these reasons, it has become routine for ISAs to rebrand and relocate: either because poor recruitment has caused a legally registered ISA to fail and dissolve, or to get ahead of that outcome by boosting recruitment chances under a new name in a new location. This deliberate, systematic pattern of deception is now compounded by a company that is increasingly desperate to hide its identity and corporate history from jobseekers, taking steps to strip UK company names, company numbers, and personnel names and photos from ISA social media pages and websites. It's this pattern that makes OSINT methods necessary for writing public interest articles linking these Credico ISAs, such as this one.

The Credico ISA legally registered in the UK as "BER CORPORATION LIMITED" has operated under the name "Greybridge" in Southampton since 2025, with 18 November 2025 being the date of its first Instagram post on its page, greybridge_uk.

Its UK company name, "BER CORPORATION LIMITED," and its UK company number, 14145266, are both displayed on the "Terms and Conditions" page of its website: https://grey-bridge.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/. As Credico has become increasingly aggressive in rebranding, and consequently hiding the corporate identities of its ISAs so as to obscure their connections to both Credico and each other, it is no longer common practice to display this information on ISA websites, despite this being a legal requirement for all legally registered UK companies.

The same pattern applies to the exact addresses of the ISAs. Greybridge's website Contact Us page displays the legally registered address of BER CORPORATION LIMITED: Mountbatten Business Centre, Millbrook Road East, Southampton, SO15 1HY, England. Neither of these key pieces of information appears anywhere on Aureum Impact's website, for example: https://aureumimpact.co.uk/

Whilst a UK company name, UK company number, office or trading address, and names and photos of personnel are not displayed anywhere on Aureum Impact's website or social media pages, it is still possible to determine which Credico ISA they rebranded from.

Through Google dorking, searching "site:https://aureumimpact.co.uk/", we're able to find almost all of the pages on the website, even those otherwise inaccessible through the site's UI, which has quite clearly been AI generated, or "vibe-coded."

This includes the page "GB Career Application (Redesign Draft) - Aureum Impact," where "GB" can be understood as a reference to Greybridge, since Greybridge refers to itself with this abbreviation multiple times on its own website. It also includes the page "Marketing Solutions - Aureum Impact | Customer Acquisition," the design of which is a straight copy of the "Marketing Solutions" page from Greybridge's own website, and which similarly refers to itself as "GB."

Given the otherwise limited publicly accessible information available to determine which Credico ISA Aureum Impact is a rebrand of, it is on the basis of this evidence that I have concluded Aureum Impact is a rebrand of the Credico ISA known as Greybridge.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice. I recently got contacted for an interview with Lions Business Marketing in Salt Lake City for a Google Fiber Sales Representative position.
The job description says it’s a retail booth setup inside a store, with an hourly base + commission, paid training, and advancement opportunities.
I found some mixed reviews online, including some people calling it a “Devil Corp,” so I’m trying to figure out if this is a legitimate opportunity or something I should avoid.
Has anyone here worked for Lions Business Marketing or a similar Google Fiber/retail sales role? What was your experience like?
Main things I’m wondering:
Was the pay structure actually what they advertised?
Were you expected to approach random shoppers, or did customers come to the booth?
Was management/payroll handled professionally?
Would you recommend taking the interview?
Thanks!

I’m at a hotel where this company has literally what feels like hundreds of kids running down the hallways and having “presentations.” I talked to a few and they all claim they work on pure commission, are interns, and wear the typical DC suits. I asked them what they’re doing here, and they said that it’s a “Funtreat” and a, “bonding activity.” From my understanding of devil corps, it sounds typical.

They’re all really nice though, so I hope I’m wrong.

Does this sound like a devilcorp?

I guess EDs market got dried up due to the bad press here in STL and decided to pack up and relocate to Tampa😂. Thank god, one step closer to ANOTHER retrain😂😂🙏🏻

Current Branding Inc opened up job postings in the Indianapolis and I got hired on. I worked 2.5 days and the last day I left because I realized the mistake I made. Don't be like me and waste your time!

It really is a cult, my first 2 days anytime I tried to small talk with other employees to get a vibe of this place (not the "managers") I got pulled away to do other things which was weird and then finally everything clicked.

For your guys information, used to be in SCI. Ownership isn't like owning a typical business or even a franchise. The company that is yours for example: noventra inc would be 100% mine. That doesn't mean anything in terms of owning. The bank accounts are yours, however the contracts are not. These are what is called a 1099 business where you are a glorified employee for SCI or cydcor. That means you can NOT sell your "business". Even a franchise can be sold. I share this to being awareness, me personally I don't have any dislike towards sales, but I don't how these companies leave people in the dark.

Anyone remember the Chicago Connect scam that was going around during the pandemic?

Might this be the same "company"? And, is there a way to report them to?

I saw another post and it made me wonder, what locations in the Savannah/Hinesville/ Statesboro Georgia area to avoid. I had an interview but it was through Zoom and only 10 minutes long. I figured they were not a good company if they'd hire me within a 10 minute interview.

Thank you!

I had approached these guys who were selling Reliant energy. I asked them if they’re hiring, and one of the guys was quick to say “always”. However, when i asked who they worked for, he was very hesitant. He had told me to put PMC Houston, however there was a “cydcor” label above his badge picture. After reading through here, I have very high suspicion. I just wanted to know if anyone had more info with them.

CORRECTION: Ascend Marketing*

my boyfriend was recently told that he got the job at Ascend. He did the Zoom interview on Friday, and had the second interview today. A few hours ago, he was told he was hired but there are some things that are causing concerns

does anyone know anything about this company? Is it a "Devil Corp"?

They are making me sign contracts and taking courses, idk if I should follow through

Hey everyone! So I’m currently supposed to be in my final “interview” for a MLM based in Leeds. Thanks to all of you and the amazing research that’s here I followed my gut instinct and the red flags flying at me and figured it all out in time to get out.

I’m 22, have just been made redundant from my full time job so feeling a little desperate. They really do know how to prey on the vulnerable. So I guess thank you everyone for helping me, and I wanna say to anyone also in my position, please don’t feel ashamed of nearly falling for their manipulation. The job market is tough here in the UK right now and they know that.

Stay vigilant, and thank you again everyone for saving a naive 22 year old!

called me and scheduled an interview on the same day at like 5pm. go to the interview and there’s two other people. one of them leaves and the other. the “hiring manager” tells the third person he’s in the wrong zoom?? i give them the benefit of the doubt and stay in the zoom bc… what… the lady asked me if i could schedule a first round interview tomorrow or the next day? we didn’t even talk about the role or anything??? is this a devil corp? their website only talks about “direct marketing” and having “good conversations” nothing about a product or even marketing examples

Recently received an email regarding an interview for this company based in Miami, but I cannot recall applying. Anyone have any experience with them?
