The information from the site as source is given below:\nTexas International Promotions ripoff Dont go for a first interview and REALLY dont go for a "second interview" - "day of observation" Arlington Texas \n\nCompany\nTexas International Promotions\nAddress:\n2805 West Arkansas Lane, Suite 300\nArlington Texas 76016\nU.S.A.\nPhone Number:\n817-277-2600\nFax:  \n\n\nI admit, I fell for it. I am currently unemployed and was looking for something different. Texas International Promotions called me in for a first quick interview that made the company seem new and different. They called me later that evening to schedule a second interview the following day. All they said was "be here at 9am and you will observe some of what we do."\n\nWhen I arrived for the second interview I was told I would be going with two employees to see exactly what the company does. Little did I know I would be spending the entire day with them basically giving them a free day of work. The business is located in Arlington and the employees took me to set up their little booth in front of a Staples in Dallas. We were trying to promote D.A.R.E., the anti-drug educational group, by selling so-called D.A.R.E. products. I thought it was strange at the time. The company claims to be a third-party company hired by companies to do their promotions. This is total BS in my mind. Why would D.A.R.E. hire two guys in business suits to set up in front of a Staples to promote the program?\n\nIn total I was with the two employees stranded in Dallas from 9am until 5:45pm and we returned to Arlingon at 7pm. I was with them for 10 hours! Of course they DO NOT tell you this. I remember getting in the car after the "second interview", AKA a free day of work for this scam of a company, and calling my friends raving about how incredibly ridiculous the day had been.\n\nPlease don't get trapped like I got trapped. Don't even go for a first interview with Texas International Promotions! I know there are plenty of other promotions/marketing companies out there lately that are promising a good deal...PLEASE JUST SAY NO!\n\nRebecca\nFort Worth, Texas\nU.S.A.\n \nVR

I am a business librarian and I checked several business databases and did not see this company listed.\n\nTherefore, it is highly unlikely that this is a valid, legal business or company.

I am going to "assume" that this a bonafied company doing business in North America. \n\n   First start with the on-line "white" and "yellow" pages directories.\n\n   If no dice, then try any of the on-line brokerage services's search systems , i.e. Charles Schwab, First Capitol investments.\n\n   Another ressorce is the Wall Street Journal.  Search for articals or notes about the company in past issues.  Try regional papers to, like: The old gray lady (NY Times), Boston Hearold, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Dallas Morning Star, etc,\n\n   If you can narrow it down to a state, try looking at the website of each state under it's "assumed name" or "corporate name" searches.  \n\n   You can also search for tax records and motor vehical registrations.   \n\n   Good luck to you.  If you need anymore ideas, e-mail me. - Dave

Contact Halliburton. They have a military contract with a subsidiary called KBR or Kellogg, Brown and Root.\nI actually worked with them a little when I was there a few months ago. They have locations all over the middle east.\nSee link below, and good luck.

I have been looking for anything on this company for an hour now & I've found absolutely nothing which makes me think they are either extremely new or are hiding themselves so you can't contact them on purpose.\nYou could try phoning Imex House reception & getting them to put you through or have a day out in London & go down there.\nA company that is this difficult to get information on is highly dubious in my opinion

I am a business librarian, so I just checked several business databases to see if this company is even registered to do business.\n\nI could find not records that this company is registered in any state, so I would highly recommend that you stay away from this illegitimate "company."\n\nIt sounds like a scam, someone trying to cash in with a fake product by playing off peoples' anger and frustration with high gas prices.

I found the Better Business Bureau report on this particular company for you.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nAlso, the company's real url is the second url in the source area not yourtravelbiz.com (they have many different variants of this url they are using).\n\nIt's also interesting note that one of their sites lead to a different version of the same website (leads to another leads to another lol) but it never really gives you anything in the process except all the "wonderful" things about the business.  I wouldn't ever think of booking my vacation through these people so I sure wouldn't want to spend my money to "invest" in the company.  That may just be me though :)

You should be very careful not to give them any info until you contact their "sponsors" to see if they are real or not.\nThey have contact info on their website. Maybe you can try their local better business bureau, to see if they are real or not. Good luck!

I can find no reference to that company on the internet with only a few searches. However, the names of the countries you mention include Nigeria and other known sources of what are called advance fee frauds, or money transfer frauds, also known as Nigerian 419 Scams. \n\nHere is some information just in case this is relevant:\nhttp://www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml\nhttp://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/

I've seen this infomercial before. It's probably not a scam, the person who hands out coupons gets paid something by Dish Network, and so does the advertisers. Really its just a way for Echostar/Dish Network to reel in more customers, they make the money back in the long run with monthly fees.\n\nHope this helps, and good luck if you try it! :)

I'm pretty sure it's a PR firm.  I have a friend that works for Ogilvy.  I am not sure about the Laiang & associates tho.  Could be something else.

Their website address is:\n\nhttp://www.lonestarsteakhouse.com/AboutUs.asp\n\nThis contains quite a bit of info, but for more info contact the investor relations dept.  If you're writing a term paper being able to quote a live source always looks good and like you went to extra effort.\n\nPS I love Lonestar!
