After being unemployed for 1 year I searched the internet for something that would provide me a new job skill. I found Career Training Solutions, Inc. On CareerBuilders.com.
The company premise was that they would train you in a new skill, then if you passed their "certification" exam, they would employ you to work at home for clients they would provide. You would work for and receive benefits from CTS. They would be responsible for assigning clients. Much like a contractor arrangement.
Training selections included Payroll Administration, Bookkeeping, Medical Billing, Human Resources - all legitimate work at home types of employment.
They checked out with the Louisiana BBB and the Louisiana Secretary of State. So I paid $520 to start training to become a payroll administrator.
To make a very long story short, the training was fraud with technical difficulties and set-backs. Our 3 month training turned into 6 months, and was finally finished on September 21st.
My class then began the 3 week waiting period for CTS to get us set up to begin taking clients. When this 3 week period ended, CTS closed its doors!
The owners and perpetrators of this fraud have since shut down the CTS web site and tried to open up under PlaceTrain.net. Now that is closed, and they are trying to start up again under Certiplace.com. AVOID THESE COMPANIES! Or ANY company that offers to train you to work for them from your home.
We have estimated that, between all of the students that CTS scammed between March and September of this year, they made off with over One Million dollars. Some of us have been fortunate enough to get our money back through complaints filed with credit card companies; but most have not.
