"National Security" contacted me on the 22nd of December 2009, in regards to a security position, with immediate hire. National Security claims that they have "recession free lifetime placement."
"Ms. Smith", the woman I spoke with, sounded as if she was reading from a script. I had also noticed alot of backround noise, and the phone connection was not good. I was asked what certifications I had, then informed that I was to provide, two forms of identification, and $80.00 for a fire guard training fee. I was asked where I reside, and told to dress professionally, because they are "corporate hires." I was also told that if I have criminal history, or an incident of sexual harrasment, or assault, I would not be placed in a guard position.
On the morning of my "interview" it occured to me to look up "National Security" on the web. What I had found was that National Security is NOT registered as a VERIFIED COMPANY! In fact there are no: write ups, comments, or references. The only thing that is listed...the address!
Luckily, I have not fallen prey to this PHONY company, and as the previous complaint post indicated kept my hard earned cash!"
Be advised that the head of this PONZI scheme posted a response to the previous complaint filed by: JSimon: 10/27/2009. Security Jobs /He or she indicates: " WHILE NOT EVERY CANDIDATE GETS JOB PLACED IMMEDIATELY, OUR SUCCESS RATE IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE SECURITY GUARD TRAINING SCHOOL IN NYC. WHILE YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY NOT HAVE MET YOUR EXPECTATIONS, REST ASSURED THAT MANY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN PLACED IN NUMEROUS JOB SITES AROUND NYC. IF YOU VISIT OUR WEBSITE YOU WILL SEE JUST A HANDFULL OF THE POSITIVE RESPONSES FROM SATISFIED CANDIDATES. MR. SIMON, PLEASE COME IN FOR A REFUND IF YOU WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A REFUND POLICY IN WRITING THAT WE WILL NOT HESITATE TO IMPLEMENT."
Thanks... but no thanks!
