I would contact some ex-employees for the real deal vs taking any comments to heart on either side of these blog discussions. Both sides are staying anonymous and therefore you don’t know their motives. A few names are listed on their site. http://corp.fanbox.com/professionalgrowth.php
If I actually believed everything I read in blogs, I would have thought Obama was a terrorist, I was going to die from swine flu within weeks, and reality TV was actually reality.
If you are considering employement, I would ask the following questions: 1) If this company is such a good place to work, then why are these people not still working there? 2) How much money this company owes to ex-employees? 3) How much money this company owes to developers for 3rd party application "opt-ins" 4) What percentage of employees are still employed after: a) One month b) Three months c) Six months d) One year
"If I actually believed everything I read in blogs, I would have thought Obama was a terrorist, I was going to die from swine flu within weeks, and reality TV was actually reality." Funny, someone in their HR said this exact thing when I went to an open house where they were trying to recruit 60 people to work for $500 a month.
Don't Do It.

Really??? Lets address each of these lies with facts. 1) Fanbox is the name of the product. The parent name of the company is SMS.ac Inc. Always has been, always will be. Just like Myspace's parent company is NewsCorp. SMS.ac did not "close our doors". We are aliving and kicking. 2)Our CEO was never even accused of mail fraud, let alone convicted. Nice try. Go to the library yourself and check it out. This lie has been circulating for years. Following is what was printed in the San Diego Tribune concerning the matter. Judge Won't Bar Mail for Scholarship Firm by The San Diego Union Tribune Record Number: SDU2292198 A federal judge here Thursday refused to put a Postal Service hold on incoming mail of a San Diego firm that charges $60 fees to students for assistance in obtaining scholarships and grants. U.S. District Judge Judith N. Keep said the government failed to show evidence of serious harm to warrant the injunction against National Scholastic Resource Administration Inc., which does business here as Academic Council on Financial Assistance (ACFA). Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen M. Shichman, seeking the injunction, contended that the wording on advertising material is misleading in implying that ACFA handles the applications for grants and fellowships. She also said the use of letterhead seals bearing an eagle symbol implies that the organization is official. But Judge Keep agreed with attorney William J. Olson, representing ACFA, that any student reading the marketing material in full would realize that the service being offered only matches students with available sources of student aid." 3) SMS.ac was a text messaging commmunity where people paid for services (Joke of the day, Horoscope of the day, ringtones, mobile dating etc). As Fanbox, people can pay for premium apps (games, blogs etc). 4) "Whistle Blowers be advised Fanbox covers its tracks very well". Fact of the matter is that there are mobile regulators in each country what cut us off today if this was the case. In addition, each carrier needs to approve you to their vendor list (Verizon, Sprint, ATT&T etc). Does anyone actually think that billion dollar companies would be working with us for 8 years if we were a fraud? 8 years! Not 8 months or 8 Days! 5) Register for yourselves. Unfrotuantely there are people in this world that are unhappy and this ex-employee seems to be one of them. Here is a link to dozens of ex employees that seem have a different take. http://corp.fanbox.com/professionalgrowth.php
They can't even hire people, so they have someone posting fake reviews here and writing comments trying to defend their shady activities. Lame.
