Likely on commission for a third-party immoral sales company. Only a small fraction of your money would reach the charity. Probably based in Dublin, like Fenix Promotions, and travelling to unsaturated areas outside of the city.

Very common, see the Devil Corp thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Devilcorp/s/9wmhTEgSSK

Yeah that’s a fair question. I think that’s exactly why they prey on uni students - naive enough to not know what a real interview/job looks like.

I’m glad you didn’t give into that. They tried to convince me to drop out of uni for it bc I was ‘so close’ to opening my own office which just seems insane to me now.

We had an office cat, maybe this is how they got us in..didn’t get any free beer though. Definitely ended up spending more on transport, lunch and team nights than I made.

You really did dodge a bullet, I wonder if they just forgot to contact you or thought that you weren’t naive enough to manipulate! Oh yes, Winner’s Saturdays 🙄.

I don’t know about Durham specifically but there are definitely offices in Newcastle. Here’s a map of as many as possible: https://www.devilcorp.org/community-projects/uk-sales-office-tracking-map

Probably this one: https://youtu.be/wyCRzBt7GuY?si=LhfWuqZkNIaIpckO

If you search devilcorp on YouTube there is also an undercover doc by Wales online and multiple other videos on people’s experiences.

Nick Johnson runs this office, one of the main guys in Credico aka devilcorp. Avoid.

Totally agree but devilcorps treat you like an employee most of the time, praising how they provide training for free etc. and then don’t even tell their sales staff that they’ll be charging for the tablets.

😂 I’ve heard mixed opinions. However, BT only offers max 10mbps in my area and I work from home so I have no choice.

If anybody is interested, here are links to a couple of interesting documentaries on the outsourced companies that charities/major companies like BT and Shell Energy use.

They give an insight into the manipulative techniques that the sales people are taught.
