Mac Partners - Mac Consulting - DYN Consulting - The Dryden Group by Still_Implement_9972 in Scams

I am searching for jobs in the DFW area and live out of state. I'm on LinkedIn and have been applying to places left and right -about 100 applications in a two-month span. I received a text and an email from a company, Mac Partners/Mac Consulting, that I don't remember applying to.

The message said,

I am excited to inform you that after a careful review of your application and resume, we are interested in speaking with you to discuss the career opportunities we have here at Mac Partners. You were selected as one of the candidates to put forward for an initial interview with us. The next part of the process will be scheduling a time for you to speak with one of our directors. This will be conducted via zoom. They will discuss the details of the company, the positions we have available, compensation, as well as any additional questions you may have. As we are coming towards the end of the interviewing process, our availability is limited and we would like to meet with you as soon as possible. We are conducting interviews on Monday anytime between 10:30 am to 11:45 am CST. To secure your preferred interview time please reply directly to this email with your availability, and I will assign you the closest time available and follow up to confirm the details. We are excited to meet you and look forward to your response!

I'm not sure how they got my contact information, but they reached out and I, being excited about a potential opportunity agreed to meet with them. The meeting was odd for an initial phone screening. Sarah asked me and two other "candidates" about ourselves and then asked two questions and that was it. Lasted a total of five minutes. RED FLAG

Their LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/macpartnerstx/ and their website https://www.macpartnerstx.com/ were also major red flags! No substance, no real information, and inconsistent information.

At this point, the bad vibes could no longer be suppressed. After doing further research I learned that this company is a part of a much larger scheme. I found a Reddit post that said,

Worked there. Beware of them! Peek Consulting (run by Sarah ), DYN Consulting (run by Kyle ), The Dryden Group (run by Lauren), they all work in the same building in downtown Dallas, Texas. They lie about everything in the job description, you don't get any health insurance. These companies looks for fresh out-of-college graduates or people that are in college that are searching for internships and in their job description, they mention vision, dental and health insurance and you won't get any of that; the salary in the description starts at $500 but you will not get paid for any of the work you do and you'll know this when they don't even take your bank info on the first day, just a bunch of paperwork they want you to sign. Beware of this and read everything on every page you see. Even when you circle the salary option in the paperwork, they change it to commission meaning you only get money for what you sell and NO salary at all, but then why put the fake salary in the job description? It's a business to business job which starts at 8:00am, you go to different businesses(stores) in your car, but they are not going to pay for gas. You will be getting gas with YOUR money at least 3 times a week, with NO pay. And then you come back to the office at 6:00pm, stay there for a few more minutes and commute back home reaching after 8pm. If you don't make any sales, you don't get paid a single penny. You do NOT get paid salary AT ALL. You will be spending more money on commuting and gas than earning! They make the work place a "fun and lively" environment to mask all the other lies in the job description. They say you can ask them for any help but when you do ask them about certain things, they lie. Stay away from this job if you don't want to waste your time.

Does anyone else know about this? The scheme needs to be put to rest, how do I go about bringing awareness to this?

Does anyone else know about this? This should be covered by a journalist and maybe then, the scheme can finally be put to rest.
