: : : : : : THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! BE CAREFUL. STOP WHILE YOU STILL CAN THEY WILL SUCK EVERYTHING OUT OF U. TRUST ME I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE. I WORKED FOR 5 WEEKS IN THEIR SOCALLED "TRAINING PROGRAM". IT HAS GOTTEN ME SO BEHIND ON MY BILLS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. IM GLAD TO HAVE READ THIS WHEN I DID I ONLY WISH I SAW IT SOONER. PEDDLING PERFUME FOR A LIVING DOES NOT PAY OFF NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU!! THIS IS ILLEGAL AND WHEN YOU GET ARRESTED OR FINED BY THE POLICE THE COMPANY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND YOU! YOU DO NOT HAVE A SOLICITING LICENSE AND THE COMPANY CANNOT CARRY ONE FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE OFFICE. THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY DO! YOU NEED A LICENSE IN EVERY CITY YOU SOLICIT IN. THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT U ARE NOT SOLICITING BUT WHY DO U RUN FROM PARKING LOT TO PARKING LOT HOPING TO NOT GET CAUGHT? I HOPE THAT WHOEVER READS THIS TAKES IT SERIOUSLY THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE!
: : : : : : I ALSO WAS IN THE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY MADE IT SOUND VERY PROFESSIONAL AND LED ME TO BELIEVE I WOULD OWN MY OWN OFFICE. WHO IS LARRY HAHN ANYWAY? JUST A NAME THEY HAVE COME UP WITH? I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THEY WERE TELLING US TO LIE TO SELL THE PRODUCT. EX:: WE JUST GOT BACK FROM A FRAGRANCE SHOW.
: : : : : : WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A SHOW NOR HAS ANYONE IN THE COMPANY. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS. GETTING EVERYONE EXCITED AND HOPING TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL WILL NOT HAPPEN. PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES AND COME TO REALITY THIS IS A SCAM. THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS THINK ABOUT STAYING OUT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT PEDDLING SOME CHEAP COLONGE FOR A FEW DOLLARS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS!

: : : : I ask Don waleski the so call regional manager how
: : : : and when would I be going on their payroll and what kind of medical benefits I will be receiving.
: : : : Don inogned my questions by stating all of your questions will be answered during the training process. I asked this questions on the first day of orientation. The next day I called
: : : : Don and he finally said that I will not be on their payroll, but that I will be making a lot of money not to worry. At that point I desided not to continue training. They are located at 22 Dehart Avenue Staten Island, New YOrk 10303.
: : : 4-26-01 I quit last saturday i did two weeks of training and made 5 dollers . I went on one of there over night trips got picked up by the police twice and had to stay up all night for what? They said we make close to $60,000 or first year after the training process. The manager chuck bates here at the noblesville office wouldnt answer any questions about money, time,or where the new offices would be. The noblesville office is at the stardust bowling alley in noblesville Indiana. They suck and youll lose a lot of money and time fucking with them!!!!!!!!!!

: : I am leaving this company as of tonight. I was told this WAS NOT a COMMISSION job yet I spent all day in 90 degree heat peddling colgne. Yes, I was told to lie as well..the fragrance show scam. I was even told by the Manager trainee that if someone asked for something we didn't have...lie and sell them a cologne and let them believe that it was what they wanted. This was what he had done as none of the bottles are labeled as to a name. The team I was with were run out of one area by the police for soliciting. I did not hire on to peddle! Or be degraded in this manner and I found that to be very degrading! I was told to tell the owners " I had a great time today" so I did but the truth is that I was near heat exhaustion, dehydration and totally disolusioned by the lies that I saw and that were told to me.
: : I have had 17 years of Management experience and thought I was hired to learn a new career and be able to take care of my son and myself. For 8 hours of peddling I received $10.00.
: : This is, in my point of view, a scam indeed and I was warned by family to not get into it. It was all made to sound so wonderful, too good to be true in fact. Well, that is just what it is...too good to be true, it's a lie. I could not make anyone do what I went through today and that is what you would do..it's a never ending circle. I was lead to believe that I would own my own store as well. I find out that it happens only if you can peddle enough products. The Manager trainee that worked with me filled me in on alot of things that I was not yet suppose to know, and he was loving his job and still convinced after 4 weeks that he was going to get rich. Well, it took me one day on the street to see what they are doing. I hope they are stopped and that "Scentura Creations" is made to pay each of us for the lies and mental anguish their company has caused as well as the loss at a chance for a REAL job. To the person with the attorney, I'm on your side and if you need to contact me please do so at the email I have given you. I entend on investagating this company myself but will gladly join you in this battle. The saddest part is that I really liked the people I worked with....but they are made to tell lies so that a man that we never see gets richer. Not with my help..I'm out and going to a real job. I may not get rich but then from what I saw..the people that were training me were not rich either and they had their own stores. Sad that our society has come to this. The rich just keep getting richer. And to top it off, they hire 17 year olds...I had one in my group. Is there no law against misrepresentation of a company? I gave up the chance for 2 GOOD jobs on the very day I went with Scentura and here I am, unemployed and totally responsible for my son, and they did not care.
: : They are located at Tillmans' Corner - Rangeline Rd. in Alabama and the phone number to the office is 334-602-5706.
: : I thought when I first read these, that you were employess that just couldn't take the program, now I see why you wrote these. I know that I am not the only one in my group that will not be back tomorrow! And I would love to know how to contact Mr. Larry Hahn..does he know how his company is being ran? I truly wonder and if he does, he deserves to be shut down!!!!! And made to pay everyone that has been hurt by the tactics his company uses.
: i am in miami florida and i have the same problem
: with this people. please e mail me .
: thank you

Hello all, I to am another F.N.P.(Fun New Person)as they would call you on your first day. I just started Monday the 22nd. And well my husband and mother-in-law asked alot of questions about my new job offer to be a manager. All I could say was shit like, I was promised to start and open my own office in one of three chosen locations. There was this supposed 6-8 training proccess, or what they call "The Learning Program",--And man oh man...they also went on about the Las Vegas trip that was coming up in July. For some kind of National Manager Convention, which by the way sounds like a crock of shit. Today they did the bonuses for the "Friends and Family Contest", and some girl sold 86 bottles of Bullshit perfume. Yeah they go on and on about attitude, and what not, but notice how they never speak about the actual job itself. Meaning yeah you get to manage an office, but they train you to do everything, so that way if no one wants to work for this scam of a company, than guess who gets to run their own office. Yes, you, you supposedly promised to be rich, person that was wrongfully lead astray. I'm sorry to all of those who feel they actually have a future in all of this, but take it from someone or all of these people that have common sense. It's not going to happen. Oh yeah one more question. Has anyone actually met Larry Hahn? The founder that supposedly lived out of his car before he started his business.
