I found the offer of Alpha Wear Fitness. They searched for the athletes. I sent the photo of myself and my description. I got the response that I needed to buy some items from them. I have ordered 8 items and they promised to contact me again. I have waited 3 months, but I didn’t hear from them. When I emailed them, the agent said to wait couple of weeks. I still didn’t the clothes, which I bought from them. No news about the contest.
I was recently interested in becoming a brand ambassador for major companies, especially ones with a large following because that generally shows they are established. I was under the impression AlphaFitnessWear was one of them with 67K followers, a basic but nice website and I was WRONG.
The Instagram post said they were looking for athletes, send an email with photos and phone number, so I did. Then I was told they contact their applicants via telephone- specifically texts. When told that I could be a brand ambassador, sponsored or paid athlete only if I purchased 6 products from them immediately my suspicions arose.
As an athlete I try to take pride in being a diligent hard working individual, however insisting i purchase your products before you will tell me where i stand as an athlete seemed fishy. I asked questions and stayed professional. I asked to see a contract - even if it was not directly being offered to me to understand what it was that this Albert was asking of his athletes.
When i questioned him about prior accusations he told me that those defamation suits were being taken care of. When I told him that I had done my own research, I felt that this company was not the brand I wanted to put my face on, i was told I would be banned from being an athlete with any major brand and he would be contacting all major brands. He told me that was not a threat (sure sounded like it). I told him I was blocking him and removing him.
I am not saying this company is fraudulent entirely, but when it seems too good to be true, its because it is!
I hope this helps many individuals who are looking at working with this team.
Just warning people he is back at it again! Saying the SAME EXACT THING! Don't be afraid to decline that stupid offer. I've done my research too. It's fraud and a SCAM! he has been reported NUMEROUS times. I eventually had to block him because even after asking him to stop texting me, he started saying I was "embarrassing myself" when literally all I did was say that I declined the offer and I would appreciate if he would stop harassing me. This was after TWO days of him texting me and me saying NO. He will still say the same crap. "No one will work with you" blah blah.
Anyone looking to get their money back please email me at wond3rwoman819@gmail.com
the exact same thing happened to me. SERIOUSLY THE WORST ATHLETIC COMPANY OUT THERE. After applying for their Ambassador program to ask information about their brand and what it took to represent them-I was sent several text messages urging me to respond. After I told them several times that I was not interested that they continued to message me. They then told me that they would insure that no other brands would represent me because I declined their offer. They kept claiming that they were being nice and when I told them they were confusing the word nice with harassment they then threatened to contact a lawyer. Anyone thinking about joining their team - think twice.
I do not support Alpha Fitness Apparel.
They just did the same thing to me ! ITS A HUGE SCAM!
Should have seen this coming... scammed out of $200 and refused a refund. Contacted by Albert. It's been over 12 days and still no shipping information or order fulfillment. Stay away.
The guy Albert threaten me too I was never been I good clothing brand he work with me and I travel with brand I get a special box every month when the new merch drops. Took my money didn’t receive what I ask for. Post up at Instagram there scams threaten me to take it down he going sue me and I will hear from he’s lawyer.
Hi, I just had the same experience.
First it all looked fine but after being asked to pay an amount over 200$ (according to the prices on the website and items asked to purchase) at the beginning of the colab I declined the cooperation. "Albert" didn't just simply accept the declination but started to be more agressive. I blocked his phone number and the instagram account to lower the chances of him threatening me.
From my experience. If you are about to colab with a brand they provide you free products or services for you to create content, not the other way around.
Also he is sending just voice messages (also deleting afterwards)- so you don't have any written form of
his actions you could provide in case you would want to report- so the voice messages makes total sense for him.
Be careful.
This company threathens you if you don't purchase 6 to 8 items to become a part of their "brand ambassador." Everything the customer says is true, everything they say is incorrect.
