Ok, this was the e-mail sent to me, they failed to realize that I am already certified for everything they are trying to get me to sign up for... Also, they have fee's upon fee's for registering, then books, then etc. Etc. Etc. My question is what are they doing saying they are paying for this training, when they are making you buy and pay for all this stuff. This is a major scam!
It start with this friendly and enticing e-mail for those who are unemployed.
