This is such a shame to see companies like this that ruin paintball for so many people. I have come across these so many times over the years and it is silly just how badly they rip people off. Truth is you can go online and find many great paintball sites that are very reasonably priced and also welcoming for new players.

Emulated Nostalgia I also worked for a paintball centre that accepted these tickets. Every single shift without fail we would have very upset customer because of IPG. But the company I worked for knew IPG were lying to customers but still allowed them to sell tickets for their sites because it meant they were getting customers to their site, even if it was under false pretences. It’s put paint balling in such a bad light. If you want to go paint balling go independent!

[@Bitemyhook-69]

Yep I worked there too, most sales people were Aussies and kiwis all travellers 18-22 years old, they don’t tell you you have to pay for the pitch in the shopping centre and some weeks I would lose money working for them. They partnered with global work and travel who would send them kiwis and Aussies as they provided accommodation (which comes out of your sales too) eventually I ended up doing extremely well selling these tickets and did it for about 2 years before finding out it was all a scam. They would use our young minds and make us really excited about selling, would buy us cocaine and ketamine and a lot of us lapped it up, being from the other side of the world we had never tried it before so when they gave it to us we loved it however some staff got really hooked and they would be stuck in the cycle of selling tickets to fund their night on drugs all encouraged by the regional manager who also lived in the house with the sales people They would do things like have boat parties in London and I strictly remember at one boat party T Dawg took this 20 year old Aussie to the bathroom and we went and opened the door and they had lines racked up on a phone and she’s sucking him off!! Had some fun times with other sellers and was a good experience to travel but looking back now I realise how badly they took advantage of us

They used pressure sales techniques, like saying that they were only available that day. I didn't end up reporting them because I wasn't sure if it was actually illegal, or just immoral.

I went to one of their hiring days/interviews as I was interested in what exactly they offer to the people who stand out there selling tickets. It's utter bullshit you can see from a mile off. They offer you the moon and the stars and if you're in a bad place (like I was) you might actually bc so easily pulled in by them. Making you register as self employed is a HUGE red flag. Luckily I can see through the bullshit of "you could earn £5000 a month", but so many can't. I hope the other people there with my at that interview also saw through it, I'd hate to think they're out there getting scammed.

I recall going to an interview for this company back in 2017. The job pitch was 4 hours long and seemed like a sort of pyramid scheme rather than an actual business.

[@chibikomeh]

I have experience with something like that. In college I applied to a company that promised things like very flexible hours you set yourself and be your own boss, you decide how much you can earn, etc. Won't sugar coat it, it was for a door to door salesman position. You could go to as many random neighborhoods as you wanted and knock on doors trying to sell for the company. They really knew what to say to a poor college student, but nearly everything was a bold faced lie. The worst lie, I was told in the interview that I would never be alone (which I thought was odd because they still hadn't told me that it was a door to door sales position) and then my only "training" session I was told I would be going door to door alone. I say training in quotes because they never told me any techniques to sell or anything like that, just how to file any sales I got so I could get paid. I'd say I quit that day, but since I never got a commission and thus never got paid, I'm not sure if I was technically an employee.

Checked 1 week later and they ad hasn't been changed. But told us to just sell tickets anyway you can or you'll get fired

[@chibikomeh]

Reminds me in college I went for an interview to a company selling home improvements and repairs. They advertised on campus and I was new to the area and needed a job. Turns out it was 1. commissions based 2. DOOR TO DOOR SELLING. I had to walk around unfamiliar neighborhoods, knock on doors and convince people to let me in so I can tell them how much they need to replace their roof, windows, etc 3. I would be alone. I was told in the interview that I would always be with a minimum of 5 people who shared carpooling and that it was completely safe. On my first day my boss asked where my GPS was because I would need one as I would drive to all of the locations by myself, but keep a receipt of gas used so I would get compensation. I'm pretty sure every single thing they said to me in the interview was a lie. Also, I received no training on this. I was suppose to go home and in my own, unpaid time, google what old roofs looked like or various problems so I could sell repairs to customers. I quit after the first day and the person who hired me yelled at me for wasting their time. Maybe don't lie to people straight to their face.

[@lezlezman1843]

[@danielvanson4430]

Wait.. DFS is having a sale? WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME

[@rebeccamartinson8913]

We actually covered this in Business. Apparently they will keep all of the regularly priced items at the very back of the shop, but still where customers can access them. Then they'll have all of the sale items towards the front. As long as they've always got 'regularly' priced items in their store then it isn't illegal, and they can essentially run continuous sales. There's probably more to it but that's my understanding.

[@Abb5ieBM]

@@rebeccamartinson8913 i saw another consumer reviews show that covered DFS! they picked a couch, waited until the sale on that couch was over, then tried to buy it; shop employees said that they technically could buy it, but they don't stock the normally-priced stuff in the shops, so they'd have to wait for it to be shipped from the warehouse. conveniently, they had an almost identical model on sale that was slightly different (the colour of the couch's feet was grey instead of black or something tiny like that), and they were repeatedly pressured into buying this other model instead of the original. the differences between the models were so small that employees could be like "i'm looking out for you, buy this couch instead, it's much cheaper and basically the same!", but large enough to be technically legal.

[@JIMP1000]

Funny thing about DFS sales is they can do it because it's not the same items on sale all year every year. They release new sofas all the time on their 'sale' that look almost the same as the previous years ones with slight differences and a different name. Its weird but it allows them to forever have their sale on

No and here's why. firstly, hottest doesn't mean attractive in that context. For example you can say, "hottest new track right now!". From the dictionary hottest can mean: currently popular, fashionable, or in demand. Secondly, the Lara Croft comment is in reference to a Tomb Raider " paintball game zone" that they have on their field, based on a video game/movie where Lara Croft is the protagonist character. Terrance is actually practising the pitch with her. The question about having a boyfriend is called qualifying, as these paintball tickets are primarily purchased as a gift for loved ones. (You can clearly see he has the tickets in front of him at this point). Asking if they have a boyfriend, brother etc is just a way of gathering more information about a prospect, standard practice in sales. Thirdly S.E.X is an acronym used by all businesses that require people to cold stop people on the street, shopping centres etc. LASTLY, even if there was sexual harassment within IPG, thats a workplace problem globally, not a paintball company issue. Some clever editing to make someone look bad, with no solid backing. Disgraceful.

How've I only just seen this? As a skinny bullied kid, Mr motivator actually changed my life. Love this ♥️

Idk why but I creased when she called paint balls bullets😬 0:29

[@lukeporter6186]

Is that the whitgift centre in Croydon ?

[@LoftyBoom]

Just checked their website and nothing has changed

[@Phurzt]

To be completely fair to T-Dawg, he asked me to dress up as Lara Croft too, and I'm a man. Though I had to remind him that my craigslist ad specifically stated that cosplay would be double price.

[@stayawile14]

Ive seen them at malls here in canada. They were offering coupons to a field whom i'm friends with the owner. The owner of the field had absolutely no idea coupons were being offered....

[@abigaillamprecht5335]

I love these videos but this is the first time one has ever applied to me! These pricks are everywhere in NZ they are at UOA consistently and if you google ÍPG' from an Auckland server UOA actually shows up as their third location!

[@joegrimes9232]

Shady practices are abound. In 2013, I was unfortunately unemployed. I took every application I could. But one was bizarre. CAPITAL ONE street canvasing. Now yep. That's a credit card company you'd think? You'd be wrong! It was a leased office on Maid Marian Way, Nottingham that consisted of a plastic table and a receptionist. A City and Guilds certificate in a cheap photo frame and tesco art prints of New York on the wall. The interview was hysterical. I was flanked by two very serious "fellow applicants" who asked questions and acted like they were in a play. Get this their clients include the British Heart Foundation AND Red Cross. Very noble. Upstairs there are cabinets full ( apparently.) My job was to canvas Nottingham, Victoria Centre mostly. Take bank details and cash if "donated". Take it to a lock up and leave it there where I would receive my wages by the TL at the end of the week. lmao the fat gentleman started getting defensive after the interview when I asked questions and, he "Inferred" I might be a watchdog. I certainly would never lie or pretend, but he got that notion. Always ALWAYS be wary.

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

The first 42 seconds im confused. She said she bought the tickets but didnt use them. Then she says she brought 10 of her sons friends and it cost her a lot of money. What's going on here? As a viewer am i being scammed?

[@rectify2003]

Perfect review, we won’t be using IPG on our company days out anymore

[@FannyLerouxTime]

How, when everything is filmed, can companies pretend nothing is going on.

[@FRANKYESS]

More of these please

[@Dr3Mc3Ninja]

Hugo Boss does amazing work, but I struggle to watch these because the second-hand embarrassment of exposing scammers makes me cringe.

Why did I get an advert of Neils dad from the inbetweeners reviewing wine before this😂

I did this when I was 9 years old and it was exactly the same!!! They really need to fix this! . that's 16 years ago.

Gee! And after I put ALL my trust in hawkers who sell out of shopping mall kiosks!

The not-so-subtle slap stick humor ist great.

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

How does subtle slapstick work?

[@ellaisboring]

Fuck, this exact thing happened to me. They were set up in my university and harassed everyone walking to class. I bought 10 tickets for my boyfriend and his friends so they could paintball for his birthday. I paid about 100 dollars, and never used them because it was such a fuck around to book and too expensive for all the friends to join us. It was so horrible and I spent all this money for nothing. AAAAND they never stop texting you about 'sales' they have on. I had to block all the numbers they text on. Such a fucking waste. I didn't really have the money, but I wanted to do something special for my boyfriend. Still angry about it

[@elburritomonster]

I got sold IPG tickets once I got mugged off massively, had to pay a booking fee of £15 per person so ended up being £25 per person not including any paintballs which we then had to buy for £9 a pop it was horrendous

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

😂😂😂😂😂👋 why on earth would you even stop and talk to these dumb dumbs?

[@squareinsquare2078]

Alison is great, I really like her, she's just naturally warm and funny.

OMG I think that was the guy who tried to sell us paintball tickets in freshers week

hugo boss

[@emilykeepsmiling9465]

I worked for a commission only sales company once (not IPG). They sold me on their BS of "you could earn up to 7k a month you know!" I refused to indulge in their dodgy practises of pressure / guilt selling. I worked for them for 3 weeks and actually made a loss in that time cz I only got 2 sales and had to get buses to and from work plus lunches. It was horrible. They played hardcore techno music at 7am to get you "psyched" for the day...its a miracle I didnt kill anyone!!

[@Lapinporokoira]

How old is mr motivator now? Seems like hes been around forever.

[@smcwaltersm]

I use to work at a paintball centre, about a year and a half ago, and I felt so bad for people who used IPG - mainly large parties - because they were constantly misled and misinformed of what their tickets actually entitled them too- most common was IPG 100 which was a standard gun, overalls and 100 bullets for the whole day which is basically nothing. They would be told it was 100 per round or they’d get special guns etc or we could do special discounts for them which we couldn’t😂

[@1234andrewjones]

Still £35 on the website 😂😂 bunch on muppets

[@tommikka]

That’s the point - it’s £35 on the website, therefore the tickets are at a ‘discount’

[@aaravsingh8757]

i just got scammed and the police believed them. it happened at Scarborough town center Canada by the name of optimum paintball.

[@timegeometry9855]

IPG rebranded as Optimum. Same shady practices, same scammy schemes, same backpacking staff from UK. They are here in Vancouver as well.

[@kaanburns17]

On behalf of all paintball players, thank you! IPG give our sport such a bad name.

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

Your names pretty bad too😂😬

[@IKrazeyyHD]

7:45 Definitely looks like someone out of the camoflauge scene from Ali G

'tdog' is disgustingly inappropriate. Not at all professional. It's pretty clear why he's not in a better job..

He Co owns the company. Briefly worked there a while ago and they wouldn't shut up about how much money they made

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

@@airsofthughes9165 with a name like airsoft you're bang at it yourself!!!!!. EXPLAIN YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY!?!

I actually worked here for 1 day! This is crazy. Their business practices put me off right away

[@tievoli83]

"I bought tickets from them, but never went" 20 seconds later "It cost a fortune because I took ten of his friends and they charged us for the bullets too"

[@KFNZ-s2t]

Joe! Please come to South Africa , you would be in your element

[@thom2967]

I love these videos but Joe really needs to work on his confrontations, they're a bit pathetic

[@eveenorth6125]

I’m a student and I paid £69.99 for a lot of tickets for my 21st birthday, I was never sent the code and spent my birthday in lockdown. I’ve called up and not allowed a refund as it’s been over 14 DAYS

[@chibikomeh]

I'm not from the UK, but can you do a chargeback? In my country if you pay by credit card and never receive services you can call the card company and request the charge be reversed. The paintball company can fight it, but usually they don't. Usually the card company takes your side, unless you abuse this, because you're an active customer they'd rather not lose. I don't know the deadline, but it's certainly longer than 14 days. I know about 20 years ago my parents paid a company to build something on the property and when the work hadn't even been started 4-5 months later my mom called the credit card company for a chargeback. Amazingly the construction company called him almost immediately after she hung up with the credit card company and suddenly they were coming over the next day to start construction. They were so busy they couldn't get it done sooner but as soon as a customer complains they can fit you in. I don't know if that has a bigger time window though because it was construction, but that was months later and mom could have fought the charge.

[@rwidenbar]

Keep asking for a refund! Speak to citizans advice about your consumer rights

[@eveenorth6125]

Richard Widenbar: I’m getting my dad to call up Monday but they’re not good at answering their phone! I’m too passive to do it myself

[@eveenorth6125]

They actually came to my freshers event at uni so they’re targeting poor ass young students

@@eveenorth6125 That sucks. I hope you can get your money back.
