August 30th, 2010… I just responded to a classified at in the Ocala Star-Banner for delivery drivers/customer service/warehouse help needed. Avg. $14.50/hr to start. Then there was a phone number. I called and was given the address and to come by and fill-out an application. No mention of the company name. I show up and the ‘warehouse’ is a rinky-dink shack the size of a small house. The ‘freezer’ was a walk-in freezer about 10 feet by 20 feet. and there is a line of about 20 people waiting to see the ONE employee for an interview.

There were TWO large yellow vans that looked practically brand new, with the name DirectUSA Foods and pictures of the meat,pork,poultry,etc. The two vans took up about 40% of the ‘warehouse’ space and the application stated we would be independant contractors. This operation is fairly new because the address of the building, 940 NE 16th Street, Ocala, 34470 comes up as a different company and the Occupational License was obtained on 4/1/2010.

Anyhow, after reading about the company and even though I am DESPERATE for work, if I were to receive a call-back I would deny working for DirectUSA. I hope other possible employees of DirectUSAFoods and possible customers read this and the MANY complaints about the company, (Just Google “Direct USA Scam”), and decide to not affiliate themselves with the company and to not purchase ANYTHING from them.

These men told me they were affiliated with the Naval Base here, and I came *this* close to buying! I can’t believe I even let them into my home.

As always, I am looking for a good deal and here it was at my door, I didn’t even have to leave my house and I was hungry too. After buying a case with a free box of fillets, the guy was so happy because now he had a chance to win a free fishing trip to the Keys. He even gave me a card and ask me to make the check out to him personally, so I did, After he left I thought that was weird that he had me make the check out to him so I looked the company up on line and oh my GOD you got to be kidding me, scam after scam I read about, one good thing is I told him not cash the check until Wednesday because there wont be any money in there until then, and I put a stop payment on the check that my wonderfull Wachovia charged me $30.00 to do. If he drops by the house on wednesday I will give him his steaks back, Thank God I have a big dog so maybe he will think twice about robbing me.
