It’s been called the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to own your own business… Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, based here in Kentucky, is growing rapidly worldwide.
The company says average people can quickly make big bucks by selling products from well known, trusted companies.
But former Fortune managers tell WHAS11 that the company is a pyramid scheme, where raises and promotions are not based on product sales, but on recruiting.
FHTM is seemingly turning up everywhere…all over the Internet, on YouTube and in meeting rooms, auditoriums and restaurants in all 50 states.
An estimated 200,000 representatives have been recruited, mostly at scheduled weekly gatherings.
In Louisville, they’re held at the Fern Valley Inn and at Furlong’s Restaurant.
“You’re gonna get paid $100,000 a year for doing exactly what you do today,” said Florida Fortune Representative Trey Knight, one of the company’s top recruiters in a promotional video obtained by WHAS11.
Todd Rowland, a Fortune Rep from Arkansas, claims before a packed meeting room, “Last month, what I was paid on a monthly basis was more than I would have been paid in five years coaching at the high school level.”
The pitches promise fast cash with help from a higher power.
Kevin Mullens, a Pentecostal pastor out of Crawford, FL delivers his recorded speech inside a church.
