On 7-25-07 I paid $129.49 to sign up over the phone with the US Work Alliance to take the US postal exam and potentially seek full time regular employment.
I was not aware that they had nothing to do with the US Postal Service and that it was not actually necessary to go through them to take the postal exam.
I was under the impression that the fee paid above was the exam fee for whenever a test actually would come up in my area. It turns out the US postal service provides this test for free when ever they have a test center and test date come up.
If I would have know all this, I would have consulted the US postal service directly to inquire about employment opportunities. They promised email updates which I have not received.
I tried their website recently on 12-30-07 to see if I could find anything out about a local postal test and the website ended up being not accessable.
All in all, I became suspicious at this point, so I checked out the usacomplaints.com website to see what they had to say. I hope they can help me and other people who have been scammed by US work alliance to get our money refunded and prevent others from being scammed in the future.
Unfortunately, this scam is still being advertised regularly in the Santa Barbara News Press Paper and I believe some other papers as well in Santa Barbara County.
