I too, have been a victim of the slick presentation from a trainer from Williams and Associates. I replied to an ad from a local dealership offering paid training in the auto sales business.
The trainer, Chuck, was as convincing as the one in the other posting. I blame myself for getting to such desperate straits as to believe the pie in the sky promises that made me commit to the training and should have smelled a rat when the "small" fee turned out to be $600.
I did not have the full fee so placed $100 down with the balance to be deducted from the "paid training" allotment of $370/ week. It was not at all what I expected and deluded myself into making more of it than common sense told there was.
The old adage is still true. Never pay for "paid training" or any job opportunity. Beware of these predators and dealerships who use them or similar "paid training". Shame on C*, M* (REDACTED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES) and other reputable employment services for allowing scam artists and schills to post garbage on their site.
They should screen employers' ads better and at least require evidence of their claims to be legitimate offers of employment. Especially to disclose any associated fees. People's time is precious; especially when they are looking for employment.

Sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!
