Is Standard Data Group a legitimate company?

alexis s in albany, New York said: How are they preparing you for an interview if all they do is send you a CD and a list of names, anyone can do that. Do they contact the employer for and give you a reference , do they call you on the phone and quiz you on your interveiw techniques? Really what do they do outside of taking your money. Are you serious? People may need assistance to find a job but this company is not providing it. And as far as everone wrote no one across the country has found a job, so PORKY be quiet, the only reason they are in business is because they probably cover their ass with sound form of legal bull. They just said they are in business for a long time where is the information in some legal website that can verify this, anyone can say anything, PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS. You are heloing people lose their hard earned money and you should be ashamed of yourself.

IF THIS COMPANY IS SO REPUTABLE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE GIVING THE MONEY BACK TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICES!!!

SDG CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE MANY MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS, AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN WHY RIP OFF THOSE WHO ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICES, AS I AM NOT!!

YOU WILL NOT EVEN RETURN PHONE CALLS OR ANSWER YOUR PHONES...IF YOU WERE A GOOD COMPANY YOU WOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE AND KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY, INSTEAD YOU KEEP POSTING COMMENTS ON HERE THAT YOU ARE A GOOD COMPANY. EVERYONE ON THIS SITE FEELS THEY HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF....

SO GOOD COMPANY (or so you claim) GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO THOSE WHO ASK FOR IT AND STOP RIPPING NEW PEOPLE OFF!!!

YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PROVE OTHERWISE!

My word of advice; If it's not on USAJOBS.GOV, then it isn't a government job. I called these guys yesterday and asked them if they were linked to this site. He didn't even know the site exsisted. Mind you that USAJOBS.GOV is the official site of federal employment.

Sherry H in Santa Barbara, California said: Lisa, it's no secret that I have worked with Standard Data Group as I mentioned in one of my posts. If everyone was a brilliant as you, they would not need Schools or Services that educate the public in any manner. I do know the owners of the company and first hand of the services that are provided, including the refunds that are issued, which validates that they are a legitimate company, and the professional manner in which their business is conducted. There is no high pressure sales tactics, or abusive language as some telemarketing companies practice. The industry standard for any company that offers a Work At Home Opportunity is automatically categorized as an At Risk Business and will be grouped into an F rated business, regardless if they are a legitimate company or not. I believe in this company and their efforts in the service that they provide, and will be sure to start telling the people who are receiving their great service to start posting on this site. There are always going to be people who can't follow directions, read the information provided, work their own computer, including reading their CD disk drives. That's why companies have a Customer Service Department...and be sure to check your telephone service carrier to see why your calls are being dropped before assuming that you're being hung up on. I can only hope that enough people that have received hours of help with this company, post to this site and give them a big thanks for all that they do! Happy job hunting.

Sherry, I call tollfree and they pretend they're too busy, leave a message. I hang up w/out doing so, guy calls back. It was too funny cause he was acting like it was so selective and wanted to be sure I'm over 18 , US citizen w/ a HS diploma. check, check, check, I'm in.Yipee! so I say is there a fee? He says 69. refundable. I say let me research the co. I'll contact you. He HANGS UP ON ME. NOT my phone service. Good try Sher

Sherry H in Santa Barbara, California said: Alexis,
I felt the need to post positive feedback for Standard Data Group when I heard that people where incorrectly posting wrong information on the company. Certainly I am in their area, if I am working with them. Would you expect me to be 3000 miles away as you are? So who has the better credentials and who would know the facts? Standard Data Group records all of their telephone calls to verify what it told to the customers and that the customer is in total acceptance. This is for their protection as well as the customers. My reference to a bible verse was in regards to how liars are dealt with. If anyone if uncomfortable with Gods words, not mine, I'm assuming they are feeling guilt over their actions. I am totally confident of my actions and how I help people each day. I now understand why people call the internet Satan's tool. People read others toxic trash and are pulled down with them. You should be ashamed of spreading your viral negativity. There are many people that want to help themselves with the assistance of good people, instead of being negative and miserable all of their lives. Also remember that companies have legal departments that deal with such malicious slander. Those people who have faith and want to get somewhere in life will call Standard Data Group to work...

Be very careful bringing God into the subject. He just might smite you for being a liar. It is clear you represent their company, and shame on you for doing so. Blasphemer!

What is this about "incorrectly posting wrong information?" Besides the double negative, the information is not wrong nor is it incorrectly posted! We can continue to say the same about you and you about us, but the bottom line is, this company is not helping people, this company is not "good people," and its only a matter of time before they are caught and arrested. Hide in a tree and watch! Hahahahahahaha!

Tammy Voyles in Monroe Center, Illinois said:

I saw this ad on the website and called after talking with someone i remember what someone once told me is that if it sounds good then check into it, and after reading some of the complaints here I decided to call and cancel my order,because I post dated a payment. Maybe they are taking advantage of what's going on with the massive job losses. JUST BEWARE, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A FEE. I think i may get another debit card just to be on the safe side.

I just got off the phone with a representative. Scam scam scam.

It sounded like I was talking to a snotty teenage girl in her mom's basement. When I asked questions she got defensive, and I told her she was being rude, and her response was a really choppy teeny bopper tone telling me I was rude because she already explained things to me. Which she did not. Kept pushing for the $69.00 Run the other way.

Lisa in Winston Salem, North Carolina said: Hi Andrea,

I contacted the located government office in my county and they stated that government jobs are listed on your local city/county's government website. They do not recommend that anyone pay out any money what-so-ever to be able to access current job listings with the government, city or state.

I guess you can say this company may be a scam and your hunch was right. I hope this helps anyone who has thought about or considered using this company to find work.

Wow! This is crazy! I won't pay my money until I can find out more about the company--like who are the "Owners". I want to verify myself that they have a business relationship with usajobs.gov and if they are so big in Los Angeles (as their website claims), it seems there should be testimonials. If there are so many thousands of people out there who did get jobs because they went on these interviews at a local federal government office, where are they? I would love to hear from them!

Also, did you know that PayPal has a feature where it will randomly generate a card number for you for SINGLE use only?!! I use it all the time because I never want to give any business complete access to my real credit card info. What happens is you link your bank account to PayPal and they generate what's actually a MasterCard debit card number so only PayPal has your real info. I'v never had any problems and I've been doing this for 2 years. And PayPal has special features, like I can pull up a record of all the card numbers I generated and it tells me what company used it and the amount. So far I haven't had to ask for a refund from the company (not PayPal) so I can't speak to that but you don't have to be worried that the company tells you that you'll only be charged once and then hitting your credit card repeatedly because it only works one time. And there's no way the company knows from the number that it's only for one-time use!!!!!

I was interested in the 100% flexiplace (work-from-home)federal jobs through Standard Data Group. I spoke to a gentleman named Jim. He was quite pleasant on the phone but he did not seem to answer my questions for my comfort. He kept explaining their process but what I really wanted to know was how does Standard Data Group get the information about all the jobs , like did they have a contract or some type of special agreement with the federal government to be privvy to these jobs, especially when I had gone out to USAJOBS.gov, searched "flexiplace" and only 4 positions popped up. I had also seen the big fat "F" on the BBB website but wanted to believe I had found what I was looking for. In doing my due diligence to see if SDG was legit, when I searched "Standard Data Group in yellowpages.com in zip code 91604, there were no results for the company. I then did a reverse search on the phone number listed on SDG's website. I went to reversemobile.com and both the 888 number and Jim's "direct number" minus his extension, came up as CELL PHONE NUMBERS!!! And when I called both numbers, it was the exact same message in the exact voice! I really wanted this company to be legit but the absolute final straw was when I sent an email to the Office of Personnel Management and to USAJOBS.gov. I will post the text of my email to USAJOBS.gov and their response on a separate reply because it's too lengthy to include but stay tuned...

Here is the email that I sent to USAJOBS.gov to see if SDG was legitimate:

My Question/Comment is:Please help me. I'm trying to find out whether a
particular company, called Standard Data Group, (11271 Ventura Blvd, Los
Angeles,CA, www.standarddata.net) is legitimate. For a $69
registration fee, they claim that they will have federal agencies who are
hiring professionals (with my skill sets) contact me to set up interviews
for their 100% flexiplace jobs. This company said that they cannot be
called Hirers/Recruiters for government jobs because the federal
government will not allow them to charge a fee. Supposedly there are also
all these free job development programs via online training that we can
complete.The company boasts a 83% placement history but of course would
not ask someone who has used the company to contact me. Does OPM use these
types of companies at all? Is SDG legitimate? Please confirm or deny that
SDG has a business relationship with OPM and does what it claims to do.
It seems to me that if OPM does business with companies like this, OPM
should also monitor success rates and I should be able to easily obtain
information about it. If OPM does have arrangements like this, if not with
SDG, then with what company? Needless to say, I want to contact them!

Here is Part 1 of the reply I received from usajobs.gov:

Information on Job Opportunity Announcements with the Federal Government and the Postal Service is provided free of charge. However, many Americans are victimized by scam artists selling information about Federal job opportunities. These scam artists place classified advertisements in newspapers, magazines, and periodicals offering--for a fee--to help Job Seekers locate and apply for Federal jobs. Some companies go so far as to use names that imply affiliation with the Federal Government, such as the "U.S. Agency for Career Advancement," or "Postal Employment Service."

Many of these companies advertise the availability of large numbers of Federal jobs in local areas, while in reality few or none may actually exist. For example, the Postal Service has few vacancies for permanent, full-time jobs. Postal Service hiring takes place through 85 district offices at the local level. Openings are announced for a very short time. Your local post office is the best source of information concerning current or anticipated openings. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Federal Employment Information System is the official source for employment information and contains Federal job listings as well as some state, local government and private sector listings.

Remember, information about Federal job opportunities is available to the public free of charge, with the exception of local phone company charges for long distance calls. Federal agencies and the Postal Service never charge for applications, sell study guides for examinations, or guarantee that you will be hired. If an examination is required, the agency administering the examination typically offers free sample questions to applicants scheduled for the examination.

Here is Part 2 of the reply I received from USAJOBS.gov:

The Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management urge consumers to protect themselves against job scams. Beware of advertisements or sales pitches containing:

An implied affiliation with the Federal Government, a guarantee of high test scores or jobs, references to "hidden" or unadvertised job vacancies, or claims that "no experience is necessary."

Referrals to a toll-free phone number. Often in these cases, an operator encourages you to buy a "valuable" booklet containing job listings, practice test questions, and tips for entrance examinations. These materials may be inaccurate, unnecessary, or available at no charge from the hiring agency.

Toll-free numbers that direct you to pay-per-call numbers for more information. Under Federal law, any solicitations for pay-per-call numbers must contain full disclosures about cost. The solicitation must make clear if there is or is not an affiliation with the Federal Government. You must have a chance to hang up before you incur any charges.

If you have concerns about an employment advertisement or a company offering employment services, you may contact the following:
Federal Trade Commission
Postal Crime Hotline, U.S. Postal Inspection Service,
National Fraud Information Center (a project of the National Consumers League), Your State Attorney General or local Better Business Bureau.

The Federal Trade Commission works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov/jobscams/

Needless to say, I'm so disappointed! I took the liberty of letting Jim know that both numbers came up as cell phone numbers. He said they weren't, to which I simply said, I was only telling him what the website said.

I've posted the results of my due diligence for you to make your decision. I hope I saved you some time and effort! I just left a voicemail message at OPM. If I get a return phone call, I'll post that as well.

I knew it seemed too good to be true!

I talked with Jim King as well. For almost 45 minutes. He kept repeating himself. After numerous variations on my part of "Sounds too good to be true!", he finally got to the punchline, my credit card number. At that point I stopped him to suggest I check the company out, making mention that my sister is(was) a Deputy Director of OPM in DC. He became beligerent with me, using pharses to intimidate and make me feel foolish to not get in on the great deal. He slandered the government (not that that isn't well deserved at times) that he had insinuated had a contract with his company.
I would not refer to him as a gentleman.

I did discuss with my sister. And I believe this forum and the letter writing is the best action we can take to protect others from this scam. I am thinking of writing to the newspaper. We have a Trouble Shooting column in the Chicago Tribune. Maybe someone who did send in that money could write there. They would surely get their refund and more importantly, the company would be exposed.

Hello Andrea and everyone else wondering if Standard Data Group is legitimate. From my firsthand experience as an employee for a whopping 7 or 8 part-time days, I can tell you: NO. SDG IS NOT A LEGITIMATE COMPANY. IT IS A SCAM. It's a "TELESCAM" JOB -- not a "TELESALES" job. It takes advantage of people sincerely looking for a good job.

You will note that this forum has the same question repeated over and over. Is Standard Data Group legitimate? That in itself gives you the answer. But I had to find out for myself. When a woman called very upset and crying, because she could not get a hold of the famous "Customer Support Team" who "will be there by your side to help you every step of the way..." That was all I could take. I took her number and helped her myself, since no one else gave a sh__. You have to deal with scammer scum at their level - file a fraud claim on em.

You might feel better about what you've been through when you learn that SDG scams its own employees as well. I can be certain that I will not be paid the money they owe me. The "supervisors" use aliases, and cell phones, so don't count on finding anyone by name. The addresses are nothing but a front. Your best bet is or contact your credit card company or bank and file a fraud claim immediately. Also write to the Federal Trade Commission, or your local BBB, or President Obama. There is no telling where your credit card information could end up. They also took your security code -- I don't believe they are supposed to have that information! If they were legit, they would not need that information. SDG is a FAKE AND A FRAUD at minimum.

There are a few of us who still possess a conscience and who put people above greed, or even necessity. I am one of those and I would rather retain my integrity than be involved with any further fleecing of America. I hope my reply will do you all some good. So be it if they sue me or shoot me. They are not getting away with this.♥Terbea

Terbea...
I am 100% positive that the only reason you are saying these things about SDG is because you probably were not good at your job. You most likely didn't get many sales and now you "don't wanna work for SDG because you want to protect your integrity". Lol... They are definately legitimate and it is highly illegal to do anything unauthorized with credit information. They imput your order into a computer and everything is very secure and confidential.
If you want to be so "honest", why don't you explain the good things that SDG does for people? Obviously you left on bad terms to even imagine that they wouldn't pay you your check! The employees at SDG work for commision... The customer service team is there to help you once you get your package in the mail. They are also very very busy. Here's a tip: call as early as possible, say 9:00 AM pacific time. This will make it easier for you to speak with someone. However, you can conveniently leave your name, number and confirmation # and someone will return your call.
People are concerned especially these days. Worried because there are scams out there, for sure! Not everyone is out to get you though.
So go ahead people... You can report SDG, you can call your local news, heck you can even call Obama!!! The truth is, Standard Data Group is 100% legitimate and that's why they are in business!!! Just put two and two together! If you truly understood the true value of s government job, you would see why Standard Data Group's services are so valuable!!!! This is for people who are truly serious about a government job. You know, it could take anywhere from 6-8 months to even get a job with the government IF you do things on your own plus, you are NOT guaranteed an interview. SDG DOES guarantee you an interview with the federal government and if you go in for an interview and you don't get placed, you get your $ back!!!! There's no "catch". So either go for it or go somewhere else, but good luck to ya!!!!!! :-)

(sigh)
SDG is a scam. It provides only a list of job openings with government agencies that is freely available on a website that the federal job listings appear on daily.

If you pay these people any money, you are wasting it and throwing away time and effort that is best directed at going directly to the federal job listing website.

You don't get a job with SDG. You get a list of job openings.

It's very unsettling to see that so many people are falling for this.

Most of all, it's unsettling to see people on here pretending to be working with SDG as happy campers.

SDG is a scam. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

A little effort and research online will show that to you all.

Thank you to everyone for posting. I had my credit card in my hand when she added the oh yea, it will also be $10.95 for shipping. It's a lot of information we will be sending you and the US Postal Service requires we charge that much. I told her I have her number and I would call her back. Then I found this forum. I am so glad I did not give her my card number. I am employed full time but was looking into the work from home jobs because I work 50 miles from where I live. Thanks again to everyone for letting us know that this company can't really do any more for us than we can do ourselves. Good Luck to you all and God Bless!

I just had the opportunity to speak with Mr. King. Last night he returned my call from the morning. He left a detailed message about the job(s) and clearly stated that I could either call back that night before 9:00 pm EST or after 9:00 am EST the next day since he was three hours behind. I just got off from my PT 3-11 shift so calling after 9:00 am was the best option.
When I turned on my cell phone this morning, to return his call, I was surprised to see that he called at 8:50 am. His message was very uncivil. He stated that this was the last message the he would leave and, if I was really interested in the job, I would have called him back.
I thought this was strange seeing that he only called once and he left the ball in my court to call him back. It seemed like a very shoddy business practice and I called back to let him know that I didn't understand why he would leave this kind of message and this was not a company in which I would choose to work. My call went immediately into his VM. The message I left had all the information that I mentioned above and I wished him luck finding a person to fill the position.
Mr. King called my home phone twice. The first time he hung up on me. The second time he stated that "someone" called from this number. Clearly he failed to listen to my message. When I expressed that I didn't understand why he would state that he wouldn't call back he said that I should have returned his numerous calls. I informed him that twice was not numerous. That was when he called me a "substandard person". When I tried to comment he hung up on me. Mr. King then called my cell and left another disparaging comment. I think that his comment about being substandard is actually how he feels about himself.

This seems to be the kind of people who prey on the weakminded,those who are going thorough desperate times or want to make easy money. Don't let them manipulate or guilt you into this. Their mind games will catch up with them.

Well, they are back in Toledo, Ohio. One of our job searchers found them on careerbuilder.com. Only, there is no mention of the Standard Data Group, but, I recognized the phone number. In this posting, they are looking for Administrative Clerical Office. Although it promises even more, this time they list the fee of $69 and their "return policy." I am so glad that I recognized this before our job searchers sent their clients the information.

You know what? I honestly thought that SDG was helping people find jobs and assisting them with the whole process too.
To be completely honest, the workers actually believe that they are helping people, but in reality, they are just helping customers feel okay about buying the package. They word it very proffesionally so it sounds great...
They DO have a customer support team, but they are very understaffed so that's why your calls are not being returned and that's why you can't reach anyone half the time.
That Mr. King you guys talk to is a real nut job... Lol!!! He lies to people and acts like he's part of the government. He is very aggresive and thinks that he's a hot shot. I can't believe some of the things that he yells people!
This company is very legit, they have a licence and the proper authorities know about them. They are not doing anything wrong according to the book, so that's why nothing legal can be done.
They are just filling your ear with a very well prepared script that most of the workers have memorized and add their words in the mix. They are definately good at what they do. They sell to the entire U.S. And they sell on average about 100 people a day. Like I said, they just say what you wanna hear. They just give you info on what the government pays and what kind of benefits you'll be getting IF you work for the government.
The "catch" is that for most of the jobs you need a degree or even phd. You MUST go on one interview to get your money back, but most of the people aren't even qualified to get an interview. I don't know why they guarantee an interview!!!!????!!! I did some investigating and I don't know where they get the 82% success rate from either!!!! It's bull!!!!! Sorry SDG I had to let the cat out!!!!

Porky!! You've seen the light!

I called and got the too good to be true spiel. Jobs paying more than the market brings for the position, no cost insurance for your whole family, guaranteed interview, etc. etc. and now the catch...No application or written guarantee until you give them your credit information over the phone.

As they say "If it sounds too good to be true..."

Andrea in Indianapolis, Indiana said: Thannk you so much for this information. You just don't know how much I appreciate it.

I feel the same. I just got off the phone for over 30 minutes with them trying to convience me about the opportunties too, "but kept saying we need to sign you up and so on". I guess I just keep on job hunting the old fashion way!!! Something told me to do the ASK.COM and I personally am HAPPY that I did it...so thanks for the information.

You know the real sad thing about all this? SDG is contunually signing up people everyday and there's so many people!! You just have to go with your gut instinct with these guys. They are no more than let's say, an infomertial. What they are actually is a telemarketing agency. It's just that they get the calls so it's inbound for them. I know, they try and make their company sound very legit... and they technically are, but you just have to decide for yourself whether you really need their help or not. I can give this advice if you've had a serious problem with them:
Go to your local newspaper or TV station and tell them your side of it. I'm sure there are hundreds of people who will back you up. There are victims from all over the US. Another thing you can do, is record the conversation yourself... they record evey single conversation themselves for quality assurance to protect themselves. I would call like I'm an interested customer and ask a whole bunch of questions like, "when will I get my money back" and " when will my credit card get charged" and "so you are 100% sure I'm actually guaranteed and interview"???
Because how in the world can they guarantee you an interview? What power do they have that will place you in an interview with the federal government???? This is what gets me... how can they bluntly say that to your face knowing that you must be qualified enough for the government's liking for you to even be concidered for an interview!!!!! So I would get an undercover newspress to call them and do a little investigation. Trick them, you know?? We can play their little game. But you know the good guy always wins!!! So they have NO chance...lol. Anywyay, if anyone decides to do something of that effect, please let us know if you beat them at their own game

This company is basically a scam. They charge you $79 for stuff you should be able to find yourself. Then they won't refund your money when you send it back!!! Don't fall for it or you'll find yourself out $.

Sherri:
If they are such a reputable company then why doesn't the BBB consider them so??
I sent my package back unopened as I was told to do on October 15th. It is Nov. 21st; I have called at least 10 times to ask for my refund, but of course you can only leave a message and no one ever calls back. And of course, there is no company information anywhere with either another phone number or an e-mail address. I contacted our three local TV stations reporting them as a scam!! I hope no one falls for this as I did and am out $79.

Today, I signed up with SDG and gave them my credit card.
This evening I decided to do some research on SDG and ended
up on this forum. I had a change of heart after going through
the replies and decided to cancel the program. I called my credit
card company and they could not do anything since it was already in "pending" status.
So, I called SDG and ended up speaking with a guy named, Ryan.
I explained to him why I had a change of heart regarding the program due to the comments from this forum and he promptly canceled my membership. He spoke highly of SDG and talked with me
some more regarding the program, but never made me feel pressured to change my mind. Just wanted to let you all know what my experience has been with SDG, and I will reply back once I see that my refund has gone completely through. I wish you all the best and hope that those of you trying to get a refund get one soon.

Andrea in Indianapolis, Indiana said: I'm thinking seriously about applying with Standard Data
Group for a at home Data Entry position through the government. What exactly is there fee for and do you really get a job working for the government?

You know what??? DO NOT DO IT! I did, and after seeing all these messages, I decided to call them yesterday which was Saturday and first her name is Amy then in the SAME call it turned into Julie and she NEVER allowed me to speak about what I experienced because SHE HANG UP ON ME. I am stubborn though and would NOT let that stop me I just called back MANY times over, kept on being sent to the part where they "offered" to call me back so on and so on! I don'y know how many times I called over and over, and she would pick up and just basically say DUDE, yes she answered with that name for me and went on to say how I was not going to get help yesterday. She would talk over me and not allow me to get in one word edgewise and then hang up on me!!!!! Yhe website says something about friendly customer service! I got anything BUT! I got taken for my money so far, I don't care how long it takes or what I need to do, but I WILL get my money back! And a word to everyone, although it takes a lot of money but they can be sued I am certain. Perhaps if someone were to copy there main website for starters so they can't pull it from the internet and then maybe a petition get signed and other things like that that could bankrupt that company because if enough people sue them, that is something that could be the end result and all the poor people like myself who have nothing else in the world right now who got taken might get a little satisfaction. So please to you and to all others thinking about going for this "opportunity" DON'T! Save your money and same your sanity and piece of mind, oh and save YOUR precious time! And it is correct, you should never pay to get a job! Thanks for listening. Good Luck!

Yea, the environment in which these people work in is a disgrace! These are some desperate people, I'll tell ya. I honestly thought that all telemarketing places were liars, but that's not true!!!! This place however is THE KING of slum. I wouldn't trust some of the people that they have working there answering phones... After reading these posts you've got to know something's not right! You know, when you google something to see if it's good or bad like a movie, you get mixed responses... Some say it was great, some say it wasn't worth the money, some say it was good, but with SDG, ALL YOU GET BACK IS NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that lady is right... If someone really puts their foot down and sues their little project people will be happier and people will be safer. There will be one less predator out there to hook and sink you!!!!

YEA!!!!!!!SDG
IN UR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Porky. Who do you think you're talking to -- Elmor Fudd? LMAOWOL.

I stated my case 3 months ago. Now,I am filing reports with the appropriate authorities. We'll simply let the law decide.

How much does SDG pay you, Porky, for your pathetic attempts at damage control?

From my firsthand experience as an employee for a whopping 7 or 8 part-time days, I can tell you: NO. SDG IS NOT A LEGITIMATE COMPANY. IT IS A SCAM. It's a "TELESCAM" JOB -- not a "TELESALES" job. It takes advantage of people sincerely looking for a good job.

If they were legit, they would not need that information. SDG is a FAKE AND A FRAUD at minimum.

Actually, they don't pay me Jack... I am NOT for this company anymore... Not after I found out the truth. It's okay though, they got what they deserved. I am glad you could stand up gor yourself and accomplish victory terbear! :-) lol...
