They had a help wanted ad posted for an Accountant. I responded by calling the phone number per the ad's request. The phone was answered, "Employment Office", so I asked if it was the California Employment Office and was told "yes". They provided me the address and I drove there. I saw that they were not affiliated with the State of California, but brushed it off as the front office clerk just making an error. I knew then that they were a job placement agency. Ok, no big deal, I was willing to register with them. After I was there for about 5 minutes and had started filling out the paperwork, another employment seeker arrived. A woman came out and met with her and I heard the employee stating that there was a $100 fee for joining their company.
This $100 PLACEMENT FEE was not stated in their ad and it was never mentioned to me.
I lost time and gas money to drive there but I did not give them money myself. How many people have given them 100?
