I found this ad in the Daily Newspape and have been unemployed looking for work. I called this security company "Coporate Security Services" located at 410 8th Avenue on the 2nd floor, Manhattan, NY. So a woman by the name of Ms. April told me to come in and find out more information in person in becoming a Security Guard. She told me I had to bring $75.00 plus $225.00 to start my classes for my 8hr and 16hr on job training classses. I asked her if i would have to pay anything else after that and she ensured me that would be all and once i took these classes i would be ready for job placement and find a job quickly. I ended up coming in and giving her the money because it sounded great and I really needed a job asap. So i took the classes for 3 days in a row coming in at 8am to 5pm. On the last day of my class i recived my certificates which was a big DISSAPOINTMENT! The certificates I paid $225.00 for were a piece of regular white printing paper that can easily be torn and damaged quickly.
I wasnt told that after the 3 classes you also have to pay $106.00 for your finger prints and $34.00 for your ID which they never told me when i asked them from the begining. Thats when I knew I got scammed. When I was sent out for a job interview they looked at me as if i were supid because all I had was 2 pieces of paper that did not mount up to nothing and can easily be made on "Microsoft Word Document" myself on my own computer. When i called Ms. April back she told me to keep looking that I would find a job eventually in the job placement they offered. When I would go on interviews from there agencies there were many people from the same agency being sent to my location to fill out the same security applications meaning I have no chance in being hired because its too many people applying all at one time.
When I called Ms. April back again she didnt want to speak to me when i told her i want my money back. She said you have to read your contract. You cant get your money back. So i kept calling and answered the phone again but this time she answered as Ms. Williams. (Same voice, same attitude, but different name). I then called in as someone else and asked for the qualifications of getting the security job and she told me the same thing i was told the first time which was all a LIE! This agency should be shutdown. They are giving people hopes that are not true and taking peoples money. Stay away. Take it from me and save your money. I lost $300.00 that i didn't have and gave it to these scam artists. I hope this places closes and they all get fired. They shouldnt do this to innocent people like myself.
Please do not make the same mistake I did. Its all a scam. A fake dream!
