I don't think that it is a company that does scams. I just think it is a bad sales tactic.  In today's economic times we are all wanting to make more money.  Going out to get leads is something that takes a strong person to do.  I don't like the fact that they are not being truthful on why they are coming to your home. But this company has been in business for a lot of years and thousands of customers, and only about 15 complaints on this site.

Tonight I had my first healthtek visit. They stopped by doing a door to door survey. I was pretty annoyed as he rang the door bell with my little guy sleeping. I was a bit suspicious and now that I have read all the comments I am glad we have call display because we will be using it.

as i wish your dream comes true :)

I work as one of the much-maligned demo guys for Health-Tek California.
We are all instructed to ALWAYS ask for the lady of the house, and NEVER for the husband.

The reason: research all over has shown that the woman spends more time in the house, has a much larger say in household expenditures, and is much more concerned about air quality in the home because of children, time in the kitchen, cleaning duties, etc.

It's unfortunate that so many have had unpleasant experiences with "pushy" reps, but in an organization as large as us, this is bound to happen.

If you EVER get a bad feeling about a sales rep, a demo person, a surveyor, or anyone else you don't know, you have the ultimate answer: don't let them in.

healthtek called my home constantly for over a week. i don't understand what they're trying to do or what they're trying to promote. not everyone needs a vacuum or an air purifier. first off, from the posts i've read above i'd rather buy the dyson vacuum over the filter queen. i've owned both and the filter queen is just too big (i've had mine for well over 8 years) and the dyson has a lifetime warranty i believe AND IT WORKS GREAT. on top of that the filter queen needs new filters whenever its full when the dyson doesn't. so what makes them think that we'll actually spend a couple thousand on the filter queen when the dyson is a couple hundred. most people won't even spend that extra couple hundred on a dyson! SECOND OF ALL, why do they call so much? i mean if we don't answer the first couple times, we're not gonna answer again. this young lady called stating her name was Carly. she stated his name and i asked if she could just leave a message (assuming it was the health clinic calling about medication).  she told me that my husband was selected to win a prize because he contacted them about an allergy/skin problems which he actually does have. after believing what they said she proceeded to ask if i was the spouse and told me that i have 3 prizes to pick from. 1) a car detailing kit - which consists of many things to clean your car and so on. apparently comes in a small convenient case2) 3 night stay in a hotel within north america - does not include transportation ie. airplane tickets3) the slap chop that is advertised on tvi was going to choose the hotel stay because i wanted to go on a trip with my husband for our anniversary but she said it didn't cover any transportation or anything else (i am thankful she mentioned this) and the slap chop didnt sound that interesting because i'm happy with my knives and i love taking my time to cook. so i guess i was left with the car detailing. she then asked for my address which i was reluctant to provide but figured they needed it to mail my car detailing kit. FORTUNATELY, my mother was there to tell me it's not safe to give away my address and that it could be a scam and if they were asking for my husband then i should probably wait for him to come home and answer the phone. i felt bad for hanging up on her midway but if i didn't i'd probably be stuck in a scam. why do they bother calling northern bc if they're located in coquitlam. SCAM! btw the number is (604) 520-1796FOR THE WORKERS THAT HAVE POSTED ON HERE. YOU GUYS ARE A SCAM IF YOU'RE FORCING US TO BUY A VACUUM WE DON'T WANT. beware of these people!! thank goodness i googled to see where their company was located and came across this site. i hope they never call again or else i'll have to report them or i will be mean :@ get the hint when we're complaining on a site about you! most surveys only call once or twice!

Simply ask them to stop calling and they will :) be the bigger person, not a child about it.
