Houston MLM Schemes: 5821 Southwest Fwy Ste. 330
Hello All.
As I've stated in my previous posts regarding Kingsway Inc. and Majesty Marketing, these types of posts will be a series. I appreciate all the support and messages with information on various schemes. Keep them coming. Please upvote and share in order to spread the message.
If you have looked at any kind of Houston MLM scam posts on reddit or google, you will always end up at 5821 Southwest Fwy Ste. 330. This office located in Galleria Oak Towers (an extremely sketchy looking office building), is host to not 2, not 3, but 8 total MLM Recruitment Schemes (6 active and 2 closed down). I decided to pick this address not only because I've been there (during my 2.5 months with the scam Majesty Marketing, we had been to this office 2 times and I've met the head honcho multiple times). But because of the ridiculous amounts of "businesses" they run through this address. Their lobby always has 10-30 people on average in the mornings, waiting to be interviewed. I would like for their potential victims to have something objective to look at if they do some research and come across multiple reddit posts on this address. It was very difficult to find information on a few of the "companies".
These are your typical Cult meeting office, drive for hours to random zipcodes, sell AT&T door to door/ Stand in front of Walmart try to sign people up to a charity type of businesses. The types of MLM recruitment schemes where you will work 50-60 hours only to make $200 that week. These devilcorp businesses take advantage of the recently graduate, people who are looking for a career change, people who are desperate for a job and people who don't know any better.
Before judging how people could fall for this scam, remember that when you are desperate you overlook red flags and if you dont know this operation style its easy for them to get you.
Multiple companies have closed and opened through this address. Also multiple companies have changed their names. Here is a list of what I was able to find through various sources on the address 5821 SouthWest FWY STE 330 ;
- The Bright Light Group Inc. (Door to Door AT&T Scam, has the lowest rating out of all the businesses that operate from this address, and because of this, it's the most "hidden")
- Ready Marketing Group (Charity Scam, Owner claims its Dallas based but it operates in Houston.)
- The Gold Standard/Interactive Inc. (AT&T Scam, door to door. This scam office and Majesty Marketing(another scam office) exchange different low income area zipcodes around Houston for their employees to drive to)
- BluStone Houston ( The main guy of the office is also the head of this. If you see the main asian guy that gives half the speeches and does the morning meetings, this is his company. IT HAS 0 NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND STILL OPERATES. They do Charity and AT&T scams)
- UPro Universal Inc. (Another At&t scam, also tied to the asian owner, originally formed in MA, but got moved to Houston)
- Market Value Inc. and Fox Force (closed)
- Blue Label Concepts, Rg 8 international (closed)
These are all the companies operating out of this office. When you walk in, the lobby is almost always filled with people that are waiting on interviews. If you check out any of their job postings, it's all the same deal; ambiguous language, no clear explanation of what the job is, must have a car, etc. ONE THING THAT IS COMMON TO THIS OFFICE IS BEING SCHEDULED FOR AN INTERVIEW WITHOUT EVEN APPLYING TO ANY OF THEIR SCAMS. If you have your resume up on any job site, they can and will contact you.
I have not been able to establish whether they are Cydcor or Credico franchises. Elana Diaz who is the devilcorp regional manager has left 5 star reviews on most of these offices so that makes me believe that they are Credico Franchises.
Here is a review from Ready Marketing: "This place is a scam. They have contacted me several times under different names pretending to be separate companies, but it's just one company. $150 per week & 10hr days, sales commission is the only way to really earn money and it's by getting people to donate to charities."
Here is another one: "The interview lasts 3 minutes. They speak so fast you can't even internalize what's being said. They don't explain the job, pay, or anything about the company. They don't ask a single question about yourself either. They end it with saying "we have over 800 applicants. We will call between 4-6 if you have a more in depth 2nd interview". Umm. The 1st one was 90 seconds and didn't explain a lick of anything. People were shuffled like hurds of cows. Scam job."
Fake 5 star reviews are plastered all over their google pages as well. I've had a person who reach out to me explaining that the company will make them write 5 star reviews when they get too much negative press. This is also in line with Majesty Marketing. These offices talk to each other and try to coordinate different techniques so their sham businesses do not look like the scam centers that they actually are.
Here is a quick anecdote from a redditor who worked for one of these scams a few months back: "Terrible, I've had to drive an hour and half to sell door to door in a terrible neighborhood, my leader and i were being catcalled and she made it seem like "oh its ok, just another day at the office, when youre an owner you dont need to go out into the field" and i felt extremely uncomfortable, i left the next day."
These are the types of experiences to expect from 5821 SouthWest Fwy STE 330. I have a ton of information yet i cannot put all of it on here, but be vigilant and let your friends and people around you know! Thank you to everyone who reached out. I've got a few more places in the pipeline. Please stay safe out there and don't drive distracted.
TL,DR; 5821 Southwest Fwy Ste 330 has 6 active MLM recruitment schemes operating from it. The names are listed. Beware.
