I was an employee of a company called Provell, operating in
Junction City, Kansas, USA The CEO is George S. Richards.
We were instructed to take orders and then attempt to talk consumers
into "upsells" essentially increasing their order cost for our own
profit.The idea is that one item might complement another, and you
might want to buy it. Consequently, every business is looking for
ways to make money. Provell pays most if not all of the 800 numbers
necessary to keep the company active. That along with payouts adds up
to about $50 million a year.
My job was to directly interract with the customer and attempt to sell
Provell' programs:
WC Explore USA Plus
WC Vital Solutions (fake company) 800-613-1571
WC Value Plus (fake company) 800-475-1942 see below
WC Privileges (fake comapany) 800-640-9862
Membership Services (company name for Value Plus)800-566-8640
We were instructed to read a script, but try to make it sound
appealing and "sexy" to try to get you to agree to look over the
"information packet." We were also supposed to actively listen to the
background chatter going on over the phone and try to use sounds we
hear to entice you into buying (i.e. a crying baby may make us want
to say "this would be a great way to help save money as a parent")
However, where most of you on here are wrong, we were always required
to explicitly state that you MUST call to cancel charges, and that a
certain amount WILL BE BILLED after 30 days. YOU ALWAYS HAVE AN
OPTION, but skilled "salesman" will make it appear that you have no
option. If we do not explicitly state the terms and conditions,
basically the charges and trial period terms, we could potentially be
fired.
Why would any person in a company risk their life in order to scam
you?
I'll tell you...we get commission...that's right, that ugly c-word.
For every program that we sold, we got an extra dollar added to our
check. Not much, but for that minimum wage job and several "accepts"
in an hour, it really adds up. Some of the top sellers in our company
have doubled their paycheck just on their sales techniques.
There are some people that will do anything to get this money, and
this is where the true ripoffs occur. If you need any further
information on the subject material/contacts etc, contact me.
Although I do not work there anymore (due to not wanting to sell...I
was fired for low numbers) I still do have inside contacts and
friends that work there. Let's bring this company down!

I feel it's important to underline who the tens of thousands of
fraud victims will be, from Provell, Inc.
1. the elderly, confused, senile, deaf customers;
2. the illiterate workers who have accounts and can't read;
3. the blind, who have bank accounts and can't read;
4. the immigrants who banked at who cannot read English;
5. the members of the Armed Forces, stationed abroad, fighting for
peace in Iraq, and who don't read their credit card invoices over
there.
These are just examples, in the tens of thousands, who will be looted
by the Provell CEO this year.

Where's the news here you screwball?
Horse trading has been around longer than horses. Apparently you are a
lousy horse trader and now the only job left for you is in the barn.
