Is "Redline, Inc." in Arizona a scam?
I applied on careerbuilder.com for this position in "marketing" and "promotions". Two days later they called me for an interview. I’m kind of weary of this company since there are a couple of scammer companies taking applicants. I know "Fiat Lux Enterprises" and "Axis" is definitely a scam company but I’m not sure about "Redline Incorporated". Here’s why I ask…
They told me I’d have to go to an interview near 48th St. & Southern in Tempe. That was a red flag since "Axis" is on 48th St. & Broadway. The woman that called mistakenly said the offices were on 48th St. & Broadway at first but when I looked up the address it was actually 48th St. & Southern. Another red flag. Then I automatically asked what I would be doing because I have been scammed before and didn’t want to be stuck out trying to sell to strangers in a neighborhood. She said I wouldn’t do anything like that, maybe going to set up events. They specialized in automotive and racing and she said they’ve been working with "NASCAR" then I remembered when Fiat Lux called me, they mentioned Pepsi and NASCAR as well. Another red flag. I’ve done research but found not much other than there was a "Red Line Events" that turned out to be a scam. Anyway, I cancelled my interview so if anyone can help me out I’d greatly appreciate it!

I worked for them for about 7 months before I decided to change carrers and i never saw anything shaddy or anything that would lead me to believe they are a scam. They are not corporate america by any means but what event based sales company is their marketing and sales strategies are actually very on point and they help you out and train you to their best potential. I also saw 3 people move up in the company and start up their own company with in the 7 months i was employed with them. So the opportunity that the managers preach about is defiantly true. I guess all im saying is before you accuse a company of being a scam and slandering their company learn the facts because these guys are good people and for a small business they work with alot of big companys and organizations like military bases, Pilot truck stops,Walmarts and Sams Clubs.

Bull crap to those who are posting about this company being on the up and up. This company has been in business 2 years and only has 2 employees. I contacted the BBB to find out more information on this company, it is a scam.

Emily Smith, who says she used to work for Redline is lying- she works for them still. I know this because she emailed me. If it’s not a scam, why would she lie about her employment there? THIS IS AN EMPLOYMENT SCAM.
They are. Stay away from them.
