Copy Cats
Some familiar with online job matching services such as www.careerbuilder.com have noticed that DC Advertising is not a unique company, but rather just one of many similarly-structured operations around the United States and the world. Several strong indications suggest that DC Advertising is actually the same company as Victory Promotions and Blush Promotions or that all are subsidiaries of the same parent company. Probably the biggest indicator of this connection is the fact that both companies have exactly the same testimonial from a supposed client on their websites, which reads as follows:
"We have seen an increase of between 6 and 13% since the cards began being sold. We did not need to wait for guests to begin using their new cards either, they started coming in within two days of being sold. As of this date my store is still running the highest increases over last year in our company."
Despite this, neither website acknowledges any connection between the two companies, lending credence to the suggestion that DC Advertising misleads potential employees. Many copycats have been outed on consumer websites such as www.badbusinessbureau.com. The number of companies reported to practice similar or identical tactics as DC Advertising shows how careful one must be so as not to fall victim to deceptive claims by potential employers.

Famous quotes containing the words copy and/or cats:
“I come to this land to ride my horse,
to try my own guitar, to copy out
their two separate names like sunflowers, to conjure
up my daily bread, to endure,
somehow to endure.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Now I know that much of parenthood is watching and waiting for the chick to fall into harm’s way, watching and waiting for the cats and the cold nights. The joyous enterprise has an undercurrent of terror.”
