Sleek Make-up(Nigeria)..419-ing?

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the "new" product in town.Personally,I have nothing against it.In fact,I like a few of their stuff.It's the distrubutorship package that I have a problem with.

Case in point,a certain struggling upcoming make-up artist was told that for the registration fee of  sixty-five thousand naira,she could get a certain percentage slashed off her purchases (from ANY Sleek Store).In addition,she gets a bunch of sleek calling cards and free pallete of creme-to-powder foundation,transclucent powder,blush AND eye-shadow.So,she pays...full price at the Head Office.Then she is told AFTER the fact that they were out of face-books as well as calling cards.  

Over the next four months,she calls over and over and over again to find out the status. After a lot of phonecalls,she is reluctantly told that the face books will now be split into seperate palettes and that she is only entitled to the foundation.Others will have to be purchased.So,she says can she get it at the distibutors price in ,say,the UK.Guess what she hears?Of course not.Then at a later date,she is told that they will be available in the next 3 months(hopefully).As for the calling cards,they said it was being printed at the time of each of the calls.

Frustrating,isnt it?Yet,they have the nerve to send her a stupid text inviting her to a branch-opening party when all the while NOT ONE PERSON deemed it fit to call and let her know the status quo.Now,my question is this.When are we going to learn to be true to our word and promise what we deliver?Isn't it blood money when the rich decide to rip-off the poor struggling masses?I sympathise with the young artist and advote for divine justice and punishment on those in charge of the Sleek Head Office in Victoria Island,Lagos!!!
