SCENTURA BETTER BUSINESS REPORTS
http://dell.hurdmanivr.com/stl/news082002a.html
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Michelle L. Corey, (314) 645-3300, mco...@stlouisbbb.org
Scott C. Thomas, (314) 645-3300, tp...@stlouisbbb.org
August 20, 2002
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) urges individuals looking for jobs
leading to management positions to use caution when dealing with
Gateway Management, 11737 Administration Drive, St. Louis.
Since August, 1999, the BBB has received more than 15 complaints and
reports regarding Gateway Management. The company advertises in the
newspaper and on the Internet for "receptionist-mgmt" and
"general-asst mgr." with "top pay" and "no experience necessary."
Complainants allege, however, that they aren't told what the
requirements of the job are until the second interview.
David Babb is the owner of Gateway Management, according to
information supplied by the company, although the Missouri secretary
of state lists his wife, Stacey Babb, as owner. The company is
affiliated with Scentura Creations, headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., and
sells renditions of designer perfume.
In 1993, the BBB issued a consumer warning on Orion Enterprises, a
similar perfume distributing company which was owned by Mr. Babb. This
warning alleged that Orion engaged in misleading practices similar to
the complaints being received about Gateway Management.
A Festus woman said she responded to an ad for a receptionist position
and was promised she would earn $35,000 per year. She was told that
only management positions were available. She wasn't told what she
would be doing. During the second interview, she said, she was told
she would be given bottles of perfume to sell to "friends and
relatives." She said she was promised up to $400 per week during early
training and up to $500 per week in the latter part.
The company explained that annual income was based on commission
selling, she said. The company also promised paid vacation and
company-paid travel, she said. She did not pursue the job, she said.
Several complainants allege they were misled into believing that they
were purchasing a designer fragrance. They requested refunds of their
money, but the company has stated that its policy is to provide
exchanges only.
A Ballwin complainant alleged that she filled out an application for a
receptionist position. "During the interview, I was asked questions
such as why would I want this job and how would I like to be making
$35,000," she said. The company never asked her about her previous
work experience or for references nor was she told what she was going
to be doing for the company, she said. "There were numerous red flags
that should have alerted me," she said.
A BBB shopper responded to an ad for a receptionist and was told over
the phone that this was an entry-level management position assisting
the manager in opening and closing offices. There was no mention of a
receptionist position. When asked what the actual job consisted of,
the receptionist stated that a manager would discuss that in more
detail. She pressed to set up an immediate interview with the shopper,
saying the position might be filled by tomorrow.
Stacey Babb told the BBB that job advertisements with the words "no
experience necessary" and "management position" are intended to entice
young people to apply at the company.
The BBB recommends the following before interviewing with a
prospective employer:
*Check the firm's customer experience record with the BBB by calling
(314) 645-3300 or visiting its web site at www.stlouis.bbb.org
*Be suspicious of any employment firm that offers a high paying job to
people with no experience.
*Contact the advertising manager of the publication that ran the ad
you answered.
*Get all details in writing regarding an employment opportunity.

General Information
Phone Number: (501) 753-5019
Type-of-Business Classification: Unable To Classify
…..
Additional Doing-Business-As Names: Scentura
Additional File Information
According to our file information Designer Accent is a distribution
company for Scentura Creations in Atlanta Georgia for which began
business in 1976 under the name of Wholesale Merchandise and W M
Industries. Lawrence Hahn and Robert Hasty are the principal officers.
Scentura Creations has indicated to our office that it sells fragrance
products to wholesale distributors who then resell the items to the
public. Design Accents is a local independent distributor for this
company. One method used by the independent distributors to recruit
salespeople is the placement of classified advertisements in the
employment section under the heading of "Management" which state "area
managers needed; no experience necessary". Potential employees should
understand these advertised openings are typically sales positions in
which fragrances must be sold by working as an independent
salesperson. Callers to this office have indicated that no immediate
management positions are in fact available. As a matter of general
information, a seller may not be an actual employee of the distributor
and therefore would be responsible for securing the proper business
licenses before selling and would also be responsible for paying all
applicable taxes to the various governmental agencies. Lastly, do not
rely on verbal promises and get all details regarding an employment
opportunity in writing. Issues such as location of business, licensing
expenses, equipment expenses, phone and advertising expenses, hiring
procedures, staffing requirements, initial inventory purchase
requirements, salary or commission guarantees and protected territory
should be reviewed carefully and obtained in writing.

BBB Reliability Report
Creative Designs
4970 Raleigh-Lagrange Rd. #9A
Memphis, TN 38128
General Information
Principal : Mr. Patrick King Owner
Phone Number: (901) 388-1003
Type-of-Business Classification: Direct Marketing (Door-to Door)
The information in this report has either been provided by the
company, or has been compiled by the Bureau from other sources.
Customer Experience
According to information provided by the company, Creative Designs,
also currently doing business as Southern Designs, began business in
June 2001. The Bureau opened its file in June 2001. The firm states
they offer fragrance products marketed by Scentura Creations
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
BBB file information indicates this company regularly advertises in
the Commercial Appeal and other local publications seeking applicants
with no experience for what the company calls "management" positions.
Ads claim earnings in excess of $35,000 and/or $200 to $500 paid
weekly while training. Several individuals who have responded to the
company's advertising have advised the Better Business Bureau that
upon applying for these positions, they were placed with numerous
other applicants in a group interview and told that interested
applicants must first work as independent contractors for the company
selling fragrances door-to-door to businesses and individuals, and in
other areas such as shopping centers, parking lots and gas station
lots. According to these individuals, trainees are paid in cash and
are not actual employees of the company and therefore are responsible
for reporting their income to the proper federal & state agencies, as
well as obtaining their own peddler's license.
Based on BBB files, Creative Designs has an unsatisfactory record with
the Bureau due to their failure to substantiate earnings claims and
for misleading advertising of employment opportunities.
The BBB urges caution when considering such business opportunities.
These companies advertise and operate nationally under a variety of
names, all making similar or identical employment claims. Potential
applicants should understand that while working as an independent
contractor, the seller would be responsible for securing the proper
business licenses, paying all applicable taxes to the various
governmental agencies, and for reporting their earnings to the
Internal Revenue Service. Lastly, do not rely on verbal promises and
get all details regarding an employment offer in writing.

*****Tax Fraud of one Scentura distributor:*****
http://www.drs.state.ct.us/news/1996/11sep96b.htm
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE SERVICES
Release Date: Wednesday, September 11, 1996
Orange Perfume Company Owner Arrested
Hartford A year-long investigation by the Connecticut Department of
Revenue Services (DRS) resulted in the arrest on Tuesday, September
10, of Sean Deveau of Branford for filing false state sales tax
returns. Deveau, age 28, is the owner of Northeast Enterprises in
Orange, an independently owned and operated distribution center for
Scentura Creations, Inc., of Atlanta Georgia.
Scentura's product line of fragrances is sold under the name "Observe
L'essence." They are purportedly copies or renditions of name brand
perfumes sold at a fraction of the cost of the originals. For example,
Northeast Enterprises sells 3.3 ounces for $24.95 compared to the
retail price of the name brand at $135 or more. The products are sold
door to door and on street corners.
DRS began its investigation in August, 1995, after receiving a report
of possible sales tax violations from a potential employee of
Northeast Enterprises. The company recruits its sales force via
newspaper ads, and the complaint alleged that the sales people are
given possibly misleading information about their personal liability
for payment of the sales taxes.
After seizing the business records of Northeast Enterprises in
September, 1995, DRS auditors compared the wholesale purchases made by
the company from Scentura with sales of merchandise as filed on state
sales tax returns. Agents allege that Deveau underreported gross sales
by well over $80,000, resulting in a significant underpayment of the
sales tax due.
Commissioner Gene Gavin said, "The State of Connecticut takes a dim
view of attempts to skirt the sales tax laws. Although Mr. Deveau must
be considered innocent until otherwise determined by the court, our
careful examination of his business records gave due cause for DRS to
bring these charges and the court to uphold them with an arrest
warrant."
The alleged offenses are class D felonies, and conviction can bring
imprisonment for up to 25 years and/or fines of up to $25,000. Deveau
was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in
Hartford Superior Court on September 24.
************* DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENS, DAY TO
DAY***********************
DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENS, DAY TO DAY
(Scentura distributors typically use the similar deceptive practices,
for a copy of the actual 120-page Scentura distributor training files,
discussing many of these deceptive practices please email me at:
notworld...@yahoo.com)
The below information is from my notes that I took in class, this
section may be dry, but I feel it lends credibility to my report,
especially when your trainers do and say the exact same things.
Keep in mind that some of this is from memory and my notes, but the
general facts are as stated. If I am not quite sure exactly what was
said, I will let mention that I am not sure.
Comments from me will be in (parenthesis) and CAPS.

*******FIRST AND SECOND INTERVIEW******************
First and Second Interview
Ms. Tammy Kukal and Mr. Joe Maner: Assistant Manager of Waterfront
Design in Salt Lake City
:
Wednesday, October 23, 2002: First Interview
Thursday, October 24, 2002: Second (group) Interview
INTERVIEW Wednesday, October 23, 2002
(I interviewed alone, but some people interviewed in groups of two)
Ms. Kukal had me rate myself from a 1 to 10.
She also had me list three qualities that describe myself.
GROUP (SECOND INTERVIEW) Thursday, October 24, 2002, 12 PM
The class started late, as we waited Ms. Kukal made small talk.
Ms. Kukal asked us to write this name down, it was very important: Dan
Long, our regional manager, who is out of Scottsdale.
Ms. Kukal said that the company name is "Waterfront Design" and the
parent company is "World Perfume" John Whitworth is the president, but
he goes by the name of Johnny.
Ms. Kukal then said to also write this name down, Mark Larecy. Mark
Larcey was a master perfumer, he left his company (Calvin Klein) and
wanted to take the scents with him (I believe she said that she left
and worked for "our company"). He was sued by "Calvin Klein". The
court case went all the way to the supreme court. The supreme court
ruled that you cannot patent a scent.
Ms. Kukal then showed us a bottle of an expensive cologne (it had
yellow and white stripes), and one bottle of a cheap imitation, which
also had yellow and white stripes. She asked us to read the bottle,
which said that only the name and design of the box were patented. She
pointed out the scent was NOT patented. She then had us read the
ingredients in the cheap bottle and the warning. The cheap bottle had
butane in it. "What does butane do?" She asked, "It catches on fire."
Ms. Kukal then told us the definition of a "rendition market" that it
is the exact same fragrance, except the consumer does not pay for
promotional advertising.
Ms. Kukal then asked us how much contact lenses cost to make each and
how much they sell for.
Ms. Kukal then ask how big is the average perfume bottle, around 1 oz.
She then explained that World Perfume sells 3.3 and 3.4 oz bottles.
Roughly double the amount of what the originals sell.
She then explained the different grades of perfume:
*Au Toilet (forgive my spelling) is French for toilet water, it is the
worst grade
*Au Perfumeis the second best grade, and this is what World Perfume
sells.
World Perfume sells 150 original fragrances at wholesale.
World Perfume has 1/4 of the worlds market share.
Mr. Maner then went into expansion.
There is East to west coast expansion. There will be 4-5 new offices
in the Salt Lake City area in the next 2-6 months.
-Florida: Miami, Tampa, Orlando--future expansion
-Office in Jacksonville
-Office in Atlanta
-Office in Boston
-Possibly future Ohio offices
-Offices in Memphis, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Dallas, all
for future
expansion
-Possibly future Houston
-Offices in Colorado
-4 offices are now in Phoenix
-Offices in Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Seattle (several)
-Northern California wants to expand, Southern California wants to
expand.
In Utah, there will be 5 offices: In West Jordan, Sandy,
Holliday/Cottonwood, Wasatch Area, bountiful area
In the future: Provo/Orem area, possibly downtown area.
$3-5 million for Salt Lake City area set aside [COMPLETE LIE]
Qualifications:
600 people called us, and there are only 21 people in the room

EMPLOYEES TO THINK THEY ARE SPECIAL]

Pay
Distribution management:
200 sales a week needed out of the office minimum
But another office will help with this minimum if under
This converts out to $1,600 week per manager/ per week
$1,000 a week for everything else, miscellaneous costs.
Which equals $600 per manager/ per week after taxes net
Training program
10-13 weeks
2 stages:
Basic training (3-5 weeks)
Fundamentals, you are on the "low end of the totem pole"
3 stages:
1 marketing
2 management
3 administration
Executive level (8 weeks)
*Running crews between 3-5 sales distributors
*Toward end you run crews of 5-6 people
*Hands on management experience
After training Distribution manager:
*inventory, cash flow, upfront, supervise, secretary, interview
process correctly; supervising distributors; mapping out sales; set
goals
$30-50,000 year per manager
More realistic figure is the average office last business quarter
dropped 800 pieces per week. (64 offices), this comes out to
$40-$45,000 per manager per year.
Regional offices
In 13-14 months after you run a district you can become a manager of a
regional offices: $85-95,000 year
Pay during training:
Meager (emphasized) during basic training
1 Marketing will be part of sales
First 2-9 days commission pay (but this time depends on how long much
a person sell)
Managers will hold your our new managers hands like a little kid,
pushing them along, learning what they do.
2 Management one week
3 Administration one week
Phone work—do ads for paper
Inventory cash counting
Basic training will be $250-$550 a week
Executive level will be $100-$300 more per week
Distribution Manager Contests Mr. Joe Maner then went into a spill
about this wonderful business trip that he took, how the robes in his
room where monogrammed.

a District Manager in first year)

100% medical (no co-pay) [AGAIN A COMPLETE LIE, NOTICE WHILE YOU ARE
IN TRAINING HOW MUCH THE STORY CHANGES WITH YOUR DISTRIBUTORS, THIS IS
A SIGNAL OF SOMEONE LYING TO YOU—A DAY LATER WE FOUND OUT THAT WE PAY
FOR OUR INSURANCE BY OURSELVES, FROM THE MONEY THAT WE MAKE FROM
SELLING PERFUME—THERE IS NO 100% MEDICALBENEFITS—THIS IS A COMPLETE
LIE]
dental and eye plans
It is a very good plan, Mr. Maner then talked about what a wonderful
plan this was.
Mr. Maner and Ms Kukal then thanked everyone for their time. They
said that we will be now calling people out of the room in groups of
three to interview them. As we waited for our turn, one person said
she needed to leave.
Mr. Maner seemed nervous, and said wait for just ten minutes more, we
will have a group interview here with the remaining 8 people.
Mr. Maner then said that the people who had been called out of the
room were actually not going to be hired, except for those select few
that Tammy Kukal chose.
[I THOUGHT AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS VERY DECEPTIVE.]
Mr. Maner then said that he wanted the remaining 8 people to be put on
a "fast track" this fast track would mean that we could finish
training in 6-8 weeks. This meant maybe coming in 15 minutes earlier
and maybe leaving 15 minutes later.
[I SUSPECT THAT EVERY PERSON GOT THIS SAME SPEECH, INCLUDING THOSE WHO
LEFT EARLY IN GROUPS OF THREE, MOST OF THE SAME PEOPLE WERE AGAIN
THERE ON MONDAY—THIS WHOLE LIE WAS TO MAKE US FEEL WE WERE SPECIAL. I
SUSPECT THAT MR MANER AND MS KUKAL DIDN'T WANT US TO TALK WITH THE
OTHER CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY HAD ALSO BEEN CHOSEN FOR THE "FAST
TRACK"]
He then told us our schedule for the week:
10:30 am – 12:30 pm Monday
10:00 am – 12:30 pm Tuesday
9:00 am – 5 pm Wednesday
Monday would be a casual day.

Mr. Maner then continued:
We are now going to have a fun contest. [FFAAR, EVERY OFFICE DOES
THIS SCAM, BECAUSE THIS IS HOW THEY GET A MAJORITY OF THEIR REVENUE
FROM NEW TRAINEES]
A few years ago, a single mother told Johnny that she would have to
leave because she needed to make money and since there were going to
be no sales the first couple of days she couldn't stay. Johnny
decided to let this woman sell to her family and friends to make some
more money to get her through training.
[THIS STORY IS A COMPLETE LIE, SCENTURA CREATIONS STARTED FFAAR YEARS
BEFORE WORLD PERFUME BROKE OFF FROM SCENTURA IN 1994]
I talked to Johnny yesterday, and he said gave us permission to do
this contest.
[THIS IS A TYPICAL LIE, THAT BOTH SCENTURA AND WORLD PERFUME
USE—"JOHNNY/LARRY CALLED THE OFFICE OR WE CALLED JOHNNY/LARRY AND HE
SAID THAT WE CAN DO THIS CONTEST"]
We have a goal of selling 15 bottles for each person. If every person
sells 15 bottles, then there will be a cash prize of $500 first place,
$300 second place, and $200 3rd place.
[MANY SCENTURA AND WORLD PERFUME DISTRIBUTORS FAIL TO MENTION THE "IF
EVERY PERSON SELLS 15 BOTTLES" PART UNTIL THE NEXT DAY]
Mr. Maner then passed out a badly photocopied page listing all of the
perfumes and colognes that people could buy.
Basic training
1. Sales (2-9 days or 50 sales; but any bottles sold to your family
friends etc. in the FFAAR will count towards this contest twice as
much)
2. Management, how to motivate
3. Administration
Rules on this fun contest (FFAAR)
--3 day return policy
--Wait tell Friday to ship for these items
--5-7 business days for shipping
--$3 shipping charge per bottle
--Tell people it is a rendition
At this point I ask Mr Maner if we should tell people these perfumes
are original or are ‘renditions' he said to tell them they were
originals.
[VERY, VERY TYPICAL LIE OF MANY DISTRIBUTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY]
Mr. Maner then had us fill out a background check paper, entitled a
National Screening Application. [ACCORDING TO THE CHAT LINES, SOME
DISTRIBUTORS CHARGE A ‘BACKGROUND CHECK' FEE FOR THIS]
The paper had also been photocopied s several times and was in bad
condition. [REMEMBER THIS IS A COMPANY THAT WAS PLANNING ON "SPENDING
$3-5 MILLION DOLLARS IN EXPANSION", AND YET THEY DON'T EVEN TAKE THE
TIME TO RETYPE THIS POORLY COPIED FORM]
The paper had us list:
-Social security number
-Date of birth
-Marital status
-Own home
-Rent
-Number of dependents
-Spouse's name
-Our make of car, license plate number, whether our car was insured
-Our health, whether it was excellent, good, fair, or poor
-Whether we had medical coverage
-Nearest relative not living with you
-Any convictions
-Three character references
That night we were supposed to call the office at different times to
make sure the background check went through. When I called the
office, they said that my background check had passed and they ask me
if I had sold (dropped) any bottles.
[I SUSPECT THAT THE ONLY REASON WE WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL WAS TO HAVE
THE MANAGERS REINFORCE AND REMIND US THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SELL TO
OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS]
***************Response to Mr. Christopher Doan's email and chat line
message (Mr. Doan works in the head office in Texas and is Johnny
Whitworth's (Ace) brother-in-law)*************
(The web page mentioned below was shut down in mid-November, a day
after this message was sent)
Mr. Doan,
Your message is well written, eloquent, and logical. Again, I
appreciate a good solid counter argument and wish more people wrote
articles like this.
First Mr. Doan, I will add your comments to the web page, next to the
President of WORLD PERFUME, Johnny Whitworth's.
WORKING FOR WORLD PERFUME:
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"On the main page you state that you were hired to work for World
Perfume in late October of 2002. This is a false statement since I
work for World Perfume and keep all records of any and all people
employed here. You never applied nor were you offered a position here,
because nobody has been hired here since April of 2002. I imagine that
you meant to state that whatever office you interviewed out of falsely
stated that you would be working for World Perfume. If that happened,
then that office obviously lied to you, but World Perfume did not. I
would appreciate it if you would fix this statement to state the
truth. For example, "________ Company told me that they were World
Perfume when they really were not. I have no experience with World
Perfume, since they are in Dallas, TX and I am here in ___________."
…..
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"You state that World Perfume uses "unethical business practice(s)."
Again, since you have NO history whatsoever with World Perfume, how
would you know what business practices we use? And how do you define a
business practice as unethical? Does the BBB not make those
deductions?"
>>My response:
Mr. Doan, I will change the web page to say a "distributor of World
Perfume", because this is technically factual. When I originally
wrote this message (as seen on this web page), I took Mr. Maner (the
manager of the SLC office) word that Waterfront Designs (the SLC
office) was a part of WORLD PERFUME. I am quite sure he did not use
the words "distributor" though.
In my defense, this seems like a common mistake of people who have
worked with World Perfume. It appears from what I have read, that
most trainees don't know the difference between "the distributor" and
"World Perfume".
Your company provides the product and ultimately has the power over
these distributors more than any other organization. If this prevalent
confusion troubles your company, your parent firm should make it clear
to distributors to relay clearly the company line: that they are NOT
World Perfume but an independent distributor. If they do not follow
this company line, cut off their distribution, because they are simply
misrepresenting your company.
****
In the News 5 in Cleveland World Perfume article on my web page:
Scents Of Deception: To Buy Or Not To Buy
http://www.newsnet5.com/specialassignment/1040015/detail.html
The representative of International Management said:
"This is International Management, we're part of a larger company
called World Perfume."
Only later does the representative say that:
"It's my company."
Regan (reporter): "Oh, it your company."
Rep: "What is World Perfume? They are one of the distributors--is that
who supplies you--yes, they are one of my suppliers and I am asking
you to leave my office right now."
****
So Waterfront Design appears not to be the ONLY distributor that
misleads people into believing they are part of World Perfume. My
question Mr. Doan is this:
*Was there any repercussions to International Management in Cleveland
for claiming that they were World Perfume and then changing their
story?
*Will there be any repercussions to Waterfront Design in claiming that
they are World Perfume when in fact legally they are a distributor?
*If Waterfront Design is only a "distributor" why did Mr. Maner, the
manager, say that Mr. Johnny Whitworth, President of World Perfume,
had "set aside 3 to 5 million dollars to expand into Utah"?
*Will you cut off the distribution of Mr. Maner for misrepresenting
your company in this way?
I know you WILL NOT because these lies that your distributors tell
trainees is the norm, not the exception.
I challenge you: If you are so concerned about your company's "good
name" then shut down or reprimand severely this distributor.
This will be proof to me and everyone else that reads my web page,
that World Perfume supports these fraudulent and misrepresentative
actions.
But in adding "distributor of World Perfume" to my web page I will
also add the below comments.
This needs to be clarified:
Mr. Larry Hahn was a genius. The beauty of the World Perfume and
Scentura pyramid is this: Every World Perfume and Scentura
distributor must sign a "independent contractor license", similar to
the "independent contractor license" that trainees sign before they
sell in parking lots.
All of the distributors are "independent contractors" they all use the
same deceptive, unethical, and illegal practices, but since they are
"independent contractors" World Perfume is legally immune from
prosecution and not responsible for their behavior.
Every time a television station does a report on one of these
distributors, the reaction when World Perfume is called is "they are
independent" and not part of our organization.
So, since these distributors are legally independent contractors,
World Perfume and Scentura keep their names clean with the Better
Business Bureau. No matter what these distributors say or do, World
Perfume and Scentura are immune from prosecution.
See also: http://www.mazu.com/scams/bbb.html for criticisms of the
BBB.
*****Remember people you ARE NOT getting hired to work in Dallas
Texas, you are being hired to work for one of these
distributors.********
I will also add this:
As a trainee or owner of your own office, since you are legally an
"independent contractor", World Perfume and Scentura is not legally
responsible for any trouble that you get in.
For example, Mr. Maner, and several other World Perfume distributors,
tells their trainees it is not illegal to sell perfume in parking lots
without a license. If you get ticketed selling perfume in parking
lots, guess who is legally responsible for that ticket? Not the World
Perfume distributor for lying and/or misleading you. YOU are.
******
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"You state that World Perfume teaches people "to blatantly lie to
consumers," but you don't clarify what we lie about. You do at one
point state that we market our perfumes as originals, and then state
that we carry knock-offs. We do carry knock-offs, but we certainly do
not lie to people by saying that they are original."
>>My response:
Sir, I asked Mr. Maner, manager of Waterfront Designs this question:
"When we sell World Perfume cosmetics, do you want us to say it is an
original?" He responded "Yes"
In training there was also this very long discussion about how a scent
cannot be patented. Mrs. Kukal also used the example of corn and how
corn in a can from two companies, one more expensive and one less
expensive, usually comes from the same field. All of these examples
were trying to make us comfortable with saying that World Perfume
renditions are originals.
When we went on the street, the word "rendition" was never uttered.
When we had role-plays, the word "rendition" was never uttered. We
peddled this perfume as ORIGINALS.
NEWSREPORTS
The television news report on my web site states this:
Scents Of Deception: To Buy Or Not To Buy
http://www.newsnet5.com/specialassignment/1040015/detail.html
"Regan (reporter): McCoy claims he convinced women they were buying
expensive designer fragrances--the real thing...for the half the
price. In fact, they were expensive knock-offs."
"McCoy (perfume peddler): From there, we can make up any lie, any
story to make the sale. And if I asked if this is the real thing you
say--"its the real thing."
EMAIL MESSAGES
I got an these email messages in response to my web site:
"I just go a run in with "World Perfume." I almost bought the perfume
and then I thought why isn't it in the original bottle? The women got
really upset when I would not buy the perfume. She said they were from
Dallas Texas and the only difference between this bottle and the
original Cool Water for women is that it will last longer. I am so
glad I did not waste the money."
"My name is Heather and I work at a Hooters Restaurant in Rockville,
MD. The other night just as I was getting ready to leave work two
seemingly nice gentlemen came in and asked me and a friend/co-worker
if we would like to buy some perfume. This is not the first time
someone has come in, but this is the first time I was actually able to
maybe purchase some. My friend and I followed the men outside to their
car where they had a TRUNKLOAD of perfume! I was pretty skeptical at
first because they were selling us 3 bottles of designer perfume for
$65.00. (normally the price of one bottle!) The men then explained to
us that they buy the perfume at wholesale and used other big words to
try to fool us, and they did. Me and my friend bought 3 bottles each
and headed off to out cars. When I got to my car I opened the bottle
of Ralph and the perfume was BROWN! It is normally blue at the store!
I was pissed! I knew then that I had been scammed! Unfortunately, it's
too late now to get my $65.00 back! Do you know if the perfume sold is
of the same quality as the actual designer perfume in the stores?
Also, I am interested in doing what I can to help you shut these
a$$holes down! Please email me back if you can!"
Add these letters to the dozens on the web site. (See:
http://www.seniors-s*te.com/fraud/)
******
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"We carry original name-brand perfumes as well as knock-offs, and we
market them as they are. Renditions are knock-offs, originals are the
same name-brands sold at department stores, and we carry both types.
We have NEVER made a claim stating that our renditions were "original
name-brands."
>>My response:
Sir, your distributors are making this claim repeatedly. You are
protected by the "independent contractor" license from criminal
prosecution. But that does not mean what your distributors are doing
are ethical and it does not mean that your distributors are not liable
for criminal prosecution.
****
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"You state that World Perfume "lies to employees." You do not state
how. First of all, you have never dealt with, nor been an employee of,
World Perfume, so how would you know what we say to our employees?"
>>My response:
"World Perfume distributors", this is a legal technicality. Mr.
Whitworth, president of World Perfume and all of the people in the
office continue to use this legal technicality for all it is worth.
But you are ethically just as guilty as these distributors, because
you continue to sell to these distributors.
Mr. Doan if these distributors are giving you such a bad reputation,
why don't you stop selling them perfume?
I believe the reason why is because all of these distributors practice
the same deceitful tactics, and if you stopped selling to all of the
deceitful offices, the majority of your income would stop.
*****
>>Mr. Doan's message:
You could state that "_____________ Company" said something to you,
but you cannot say that World Perfume did.
>>My response:
Sir, I just stated that four distributors of your perfume around the
country are practicing illegal and unethical practices. I am sure you
are aware of these practices. What are you going to do to stop them?
Mr. Johnny Whitworth assured me in an email yesterday that he will
investigate Waterfront Design here in Salt Lake, what has become of
this investigation?
Will next week, next month, next year, Mr. Maner of Waterfront Design
still be advertising these fraudulent ads for "office manager" and
administrative assistant in the Salt Lake Tribune?
Unless he goes under because I shut him down, or he goes under because
he runs out of people to recruit week end and week out (the crux of
this pyramid scheme), I bet with 100% assurity that he will still be
marketing your perfume. Because in my opinion, based on ample
evidence, every World Perfume and Scentura office has the same
fraudulent pyramid scheme.
****
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"You state that your "training manager" lied to you by saying that the
products are sold "door-to-door," and then saying that you would sell
at businesses such as "Wal-Mart, Target," etc. and in their parking
lots. What do you think "door-to-door" means? It seems to me that they
clearly told you how you would be selling, so where is the lie?"
>>My response:
Wow, Mr. Doan, I am going to ad this to the web page. A higher up in
the World Perfume Dallas Texas office admitting that their employees
do sell perfume in parking lots.
Mr. Doan, are you going to reprimand or stop selling perfume to Mr.
Maner because he advertises a position for "office assistant" and
"administrative assistant" when in fact his company is selling perfume
in parking lots or "door to door" as you call it? You will not
reprimand Mr. Maner because every World Perfume and Scentura office
works the same exact way.
Sir what does "door to door" mean? What is the first image you
conjure in your mind when you think "door to door" ? Where are the
physical "doors" in selling perfume in parking lots come in? Do you
knock on the "doors" of people's cars as they leave the parking lot?
No, you walk up to people and ask them if they want to buy an original
perfume (when it is a fake, or as you call a "rendition") as they are
either leaving or walking out of the store.
*Mr. Doan, do most peddlers in cities need a license to sell perfume
in parking lots, or as you call it "door to door"?
*****
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"Are YOU the judge when determining whether a business practice is
ethical or not? Please clarify."
>>My response:
Mr. Doan, who IS qualified to label whether a business practice is
ethical or unethical?
Is it the news report above that caught your distributor in a lie?
Is it the two women who emailed me and told me that your distributors
lied to them and sold them something different than what they thought
they were getting?
Is it the angry people, hundreds of them that have taken the time to
write this chat line and the thousands that probably haven't?
(thousands of messages: http://www.seniors-s*te.com/fraud/)
Unfortunately, many unethical practices are NOT illegal. So your
distributors can post ads like this:
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
START NOW New office needs help, will train.
No experience necessary.
Various office positions avail. Call 972-3219.
and
GENERAL OFFICE WANTED:
12 HARD WORKERS To replace 12 who wouldn't.
No exp necessary. 972-3219
When there is NO ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT position available and this
position will ALWAYS be listed in the paper, every week, for as long
as the distributor is open. There are dozens of examples on my web
page of "unethical" documented cases.
You are playing word games again, just like the judges found in the
case against Scentura:
"We find plaintiff's asserted distinctions to be unpersuasive and
nothing more than an exercise in semantics." This describes your word
games exactly.
Lets turn it around: Who are YOU to judge what is NOT unethical?
>>Mr. Doan's message:
"You state that the "manager" says the "colognes are real." They are.
I don't know how to make a "fake" perfume. I do not wish to sound
sarcastic, but does the fake one appear to look like perfume, but has
no fragrance? As for being knock-offs, our renditions most definitely
are not original name-brand fragrances. But our original
name brand fragrances are "real", and original name brand fragrances,
for that matter."
>>My response:
Mr. Doan are you admitting that your distributors tell customers that
they are selling designer labels at discount prices when in reality
they are selling something different? Are you justifying their
practices?
Mr. Doan, if I were the manager of a grocery store and change the
labels of a bargain brand, lets say (to use Ms. Kakul's example) corn,
even though it was (according to Ms. Kakul's example above) the same
exact corn, and sold it as a higher priced national brand, would this
be illegal? Yes, it would.
Your independent distributors are telling people that their brand is a
"national brand" when in fact it is a "bargain brand". This is
deceptive and illegal.
Mr. Doan you are playing word games again, just as you are with the
"independent contractors" not being a part of World Perfume, and the
"door to door" term.
Just like the judges in the lawsuit found against Scentura:
"We find plaintiff's asserted distinctions to be unpersuasive and
nothing more than an exercise in semantics. "
This "exercise in semantics" seems to be normal business practices of
both World Perfume and Scentura. Your parent company, World Perfume
is using legal loopholes to distance yourselves from your distributors
and stay in business. But that does not make your distributors immune
from prosecution.
*****
(Letter continues, but World Perfume (probably) closed the chat line
and my web page/email)

Thank You,
Christopher Doan
