Houston MLM Scams- Legacy Business Development(Cydcor Franchise)

Hello Houston,

It's been a while! These things take some time to dig up and also life was happening pretty fast. But alas, I am back and I am here to bring you BY FAR the scummiest of all the MLM schemes i found so far. It is so bad that the owner is listed on the DevilCorp website. This is Business Legacy Development:

The reason that this particular "business" is worse than others is the "owner"s relentless defense of his pyramid scheme, and crafty responses to people with criticism, in order to negate the criticism and manipulate the 3rd party who will be reading the comments. So this post will be less about the company, and more about the man behind it, Ramy Sindi.

Ramy Sindi is a master manipulator who became a Cydcor employee, and moved up in the pyramid to open his office in Kentucky in 2015. Later this Kentucky office was forced to close due to various forms of sexual misconduct between multiple workers. A worker whom i've spoke to on the phone has said that if you want to move up you either need to sleep with Rami or you need to butter up to him. This might sound unbelieveable but from my experience in Majesty Marketing I can confidently say that owners routinely slept with workers. It was known and was treated as a hush hush subject.

As usual there are many fake 5 star reviews by previous employees.

If you go to the Glassdoor reviews page and set the ratings to the lowest, you will be met with multiple 1 star reviews that go into detail with the most recent one letting everyone know that this is a Cydcor Franchise. The main complaints repeat in other various negative comments on the web and on glassdoor and they are as follows:

• Pay Structure: It is as almost always 100% commission. There is a "base pay" but you need a certain number of sales, and there are always problems. Through my interviews with ex workers I've learned that most people barely make any money. Ramy Sindi follows with "If people barely make any money why would i have a couple of employees that have been with me for 2 years". and he also makes the claim that on average his employees make 45k-60k per year, but this is impossible to prove since most people leave after 2 weeks-a month. The average employee will receive 150-270$ per week.
• The Work: It again, like 90% of these is a DOOR TO DOOR SALES job. Due to the secretive nature people do not learn what the job is until a few hours in on their first day. Rami Sindi claims that people know what they will do on their first interview. I've spoken with 4 people that have worked here, and not a single one of them knew what they would be doing until their first day. Rami Sindi also claims that the website tells people exactly what the company does, and credit where its due the website does say that they are a "Sales Company". But any mention of Door to Door is shut down by Rami Sindi "Its Business to Business". Except the part where you need to go door to door lol. Again no reimbursement for Gas, Food or any other expenses. The job is also advertised as an entry level marketing and promotions job.
• The Pyramid Scheme: Mr. Sindi conveniently provides the definition of a pyramid scheme and follows it by "See we dont make you purchase anything therefore we are not a pyramid scheme." While disregarding the Time, Effort, Gas, Energy, Food Money that you need to spend on the daily. Sure you do not by a product in the company to sell outside, but in order to move up, you need to recruit people. The pyramid model does not lie. More Sales = More New recruits=More chances to move up. Even in the sales aspect, the pyramid model remains. Ramy Sindi also counters this by saying "If we were a pyramid scheme why would Amazon, Staples or Vivint Smart Home be our clients?". Ramy completely leaves out the part that those firms work with Cydcor, Ramy's parent company, and not with Ramy personally. Ramy Sindi does what Cydcor tells him to do, he is not a business owner. He simply is a franchisee for Cydcor.
• Turnover: People quit every week. Shocker huh? Not really. Rami has 2 employees that have been with him for 2 years. Everyone else is a revolving door. Unfortunately they always get new people in, due to the lack of negative reviews and Rami's flagging and removing of the negative comments. It is simply a devilcorp franchise and when people realize it, they bounce.

Another thing Ramy keeps babbling about is being acredited by "Best and Brightest companies to work for" and "Fair Business Report", I'll spare you the boring details. Upon searching ,the only companies listed on these are other scam locations. It seems like this was created by the head honchos to make their franchises look legit, and not pseudo-businesses.

At the end of every large reply about how the negative review is simply wrong and there is nothing wrong with his business, Ramy Sindi will feign niceness and claim that everyone is free to call their office and get answers about their business structure….Well I called Ramy's office and upon informing the person who answered that I was conducting some research, I was recording the call and wanted to ask questions to Ramy, the phone was hung up on my face. After a few more unsuccessful tries, I realized that my number was blocked.

These are simply the highlights, this human highlight reel is on the DeviCorp website under owners who promote the pyramid scheme and take advantage of people looking for jobs.

As always, feel free to reach out to me with information on any of these scams, and thank you for your continued support.

TLDR: Legacy Business Development is ran by Ramy Sindi and is a MLM Pyramid Structure that takes advantage of job seekers. Be aware and Do not fall for his manipulation techniques.
