Cornerstone America Bait & Switch Scam?

As many of you may know I have posted my resume, and executive profile online at webstir.com so it was not a surprise when I received an email from Bob Allen Regional Sales Leader of Cornerstone America. In it he wrote,
"Cornerstone America is expanding in Massachusetts. We are seeking candidates to fill the position of Sales Representative/Sales Manager. The successful candidate will be supported from our location in Waltham while working in an approximate radius of 40 miles from a home office setting. After reviewing your resume on-line, I feel that you have the necessary qualifications to be a candidate for a position with Cornerstone."

I've been seeking consulting gigs or employment for months now and this seemed like some movement in the right direction. I Googled Cornerstone America and found 14 pages of links to web pages advertising for Cornerstone America Sales representatives. Then on page 14 I came accross http://www.ripoffreport.com. When I searched http://www.ripoffreport.com for Cornerstone America this is what was found.

I've been around enough to know how a bait and switch scam works. Cornerstone America, go away.
