Currently I am a licensed unemployed security officer. I recently found on the news paper an ad for security jobs. I contacted them (RTCE, INC.) and they gave me an appointment for an interview to which I went the following day.
There I was met by Mr. Rich who interviewed me. He told me of a position in the Wall Street area which paid from $13-$15 an hour. For this position I needed a Metal Detection certificate. Mr. Rich also said that with this certificate the job was secure.
On the same day I made the payment of $274 for the course and the background check. Once I finished the class I went to pick up a paper with the address of the place and I was met by Mrs. Sanchez, whom I specifically asked if this was just an interview, or if I just had the job, because I read the paper she gave me and it said " This is a job Referral and does not Guarantee or Promise a job position." And she said this is the job. And I went as far as to asking her if I would take the drug test that same day and she said yes.
On Dec. 3rd, I arrived to job site of Top Guard only find out that they weren't even hiring. I immediately called RTCE, INC. Office and Mr. Rich wasn't there yet so I went personally to the office. When I arrived Mrs. Sanchez was the one that I had to speak with. I explained to her what happened and she told me that they had a problem with the company and they weren't hiring anymore. At that time when she saw how angry I was getting she offered to send me to another location and I said no forget it, here is your certificate and "Give me my money". Mrs. Sanchez clearly said "give us another chance and if we can't get you anything else, by Monday we will refund your money." So far every time she contacts me or I contacts them they give me the run around and tell me that there is nothing they can do and now she alleges that she never said they can give me my money back.
Also I did a search to see if maybe others have had the same problems and I've found over 10 complaints for this same company and the same scam.
This is company that scammed me.
