Posted By Richie Had a reply on the Monster website from a firm trying to sell a franchise. They call themselves Action International, and from what I can see they are some sort of management consultants. Anyone had any dealings with them? Good or Bad? Richie

Posted By 9-Ship I was approached by this crowd of monkeys about 6 months ago. I guess the information they sent you was a generic/bland email that was pretty short on hard facts. Their contact details were not obvious. I got the impression like yourself it was some sort of franchise deal, where you went around companies 'selling' business improvement idea - specifically what improvements were never explained. I came to the conclusion that, rather, obviously they would at some point ask for a wad of money. I never entered into conversation with them, just read their web site. I finally sent offensive emails to them, to get them to stop sending spam emails to me - I was getting quite regular emails for a number of weeks. They responeded to my emails, by saying I was being unreasonable/turning down a good business opportunity etc. In my view any company who tries to recruit by spam emails, isn't up front about costs and contact details etc need to be treated and kept at a distance with a VERY big stick. Buyer beware....
