This company originally started in Western U.S. And has now entered into North Carolina. They advertise in local newspapers for General Office and/or Office Manager Trainees. They never state the name of the company in their advertisement only the phone number to call. When you call they schedule you for an interview and tell you to "... Bring 2 forms of identification, 3 references, and $60 (cash or credit card only) for processing your registration/background check (you only pay them $60 if hired)."
After your successful interview they ask for the $60 and then schedule you for a training class and ask you to bring $95 on the day of training for a Kit Fee.
This company never tells you exactly what you will be doing until after you sign the contract. The $60 is non-refundable but the $95 Kit Fee is refundable after becoming an Office Manager.
I went to an interview and gave them my $60, after they told me I was hired, for registration and was told then that it was non-refundable. They then set me up for a training class and informed me that I needed to bring $95 with me on the day of training.
I left their office in Mt. Airy come home and looked the company up on the Internet using Yahoo! Search and found the consumer complaints claim filed from a person in Nevada. After reading that person's report I knew that I was a victim of the same thing and went back within a few days and demanded my $60 back. I got most of the money back, but not all.
I don't want anyone else getting caught up in this scam so I decided to report it. Also I want people to be aware that Safety Pro, Inc. Has now made its way into North Carolina so they need to be careful!!
