Not sure. I believe mine is more an honesty issue. They put a blind ad in the paper saying it was for an electrical unit company. Next we went to the interview and were told we would not be selling only displaying around the area. The job was said to be 14.75 an hour. Next was training. We were shown an air filter and that night sent home to get 10 appointments with family and friends for "practice". We were all asking was it a vacuum for the next part and told no. We got our appointments and then were shown a vacuum at training. And the rest I've told you.

So basically, there was not job, and the company wanted your friends and family for sale contacts for themselves.

Dont' beat yourself up. You learned a good lesson. I know you hate it, but now you have a great life experience and can steer others from the same thing.

I own a Filter Queen, and I'm not surprised that HealthMore Inc. (FilterQueen) is engaged in deceptive practices. It is the best vacuum I've ever had, but their policy and practice on maintainence of my machine was initially deceptive.

They offered a free cleaning each year for the first 3 years I owned my machine. This "free" service consisted of basic maintainence I could have performed myself. They cleaned the chrome parts of the machine, the brush on the floor attachment and changed the filters. Here was the catch: after the first year, the service wasn't really free. Due to an encounter with an honest service man, I discovered he was required to fix something and charge for it even was nothing wrong with my machine. He was told he could not leave without collecting. Since then, I've found a man locally who works on them, and I've never taken advantage of another "Free Cleaning."

Be glad you avoided this "business opportunity."
