Transam Associates
Scam for buying their software - promise of a jo

I almost fell for this, but I did not and I am so pissed at them for preying on desperate unemployed people across the USA!

Here is what I have found out so far about the companies and the owners of this scam:

Transam Associates

3433 Lithia-Pinecrest Rd. Ste. 303

Valrico, FL 33594

Tel: 813-681-4610 or 813-657-4130

Fax: 813-571-7101

This company is owned by what looks like a husband and wife team:

Alan Loehr and Linda Loehr

Here is how their fraud scheme works:

1) They look for people in need of a job, usually they get leads from either leads from ads they make on the internet or from direct names of job seekers like from Hot Jobs on the Yahoo boards for example.

2) They send this person an email offering a great job making up to $4000 a month by transcribing doctor dictations. You take a free test and then you are told the training if free. But then you learn that you must pay for the $300 - $500 “special software” they use.

3) Once you buy the software you continue the training, but you never actually graduate. No matter how accurate you are in passing there tests they ALWAYS come back and find something wrong in your transcription.

4) When you realize that you have been duped you ask for your money back for the software you purchased. Well, guess what the software in non refundable!

5) This is their scheme. Pretend they are training you for at home medical transcription work which they will train you for free, then after you buy the software you are then placed in a bucket of patsy and you shall never graduate. What do they care, you bought the non-refundable software and they can claim till hell freezes over that you never pass their tests.

One of the saddest things about this is they look legit to most folks, they have a nice friendly web site so someone that is desperate in need of work and sees “free training” and you can make up to $4000 per month. Well this preys on the unemployed and desperate that obviously can’t afford to waste any money.

These people are shameless! Just Shameless and should be hog tied I believe.

Here are just some of the hundreds of complaints about them:

(Apparently they sell Birds also?)

I am saddened by all of this, Pinellas and Hillsborough counties are great places to live/work/retire. I am hopeful the FBI's IC3 group cab do something.

If you have been scammed by these folks:

#1 Make a report with the FBI's IC3 (Internet Crime) site here: http://www.ic3. Gov/complaint/default. Aspx

#2 Alert the local law enforcement office for Valrico which is the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
