I was contacted in february 2002 for a management position just like the others. Receiver Corporation got my resume off of the web. After the same begginning as the others, I paid $450 for training, and was given all the same promises. While I was waiting in the reception area with the secretary at the Bryn Mawr location for Tony Volz, I overheard a Unix training session going on. That must have been the only thing that made me think it was legit. Now I am even more curious, what was going on??
My training started in April, and I comopleted it within 2 weeks, but nobody was contacting me at all. I had to constantly keep calling Tony Volz, finally the training was done, now the scammers wanted me to sell software!!!!!! This was never discussed before, and I was very disappointed. In spite of all this I setup interviews, I never got helped with presenting the sales pitch, so they all got cancelled. I was reffered to a mysterious Mark Warren who will take care of everything, but never got back to me. I never got my money back.
The worst thing about all of this is that for a period of 4-5 months I was investing my hopes and energy in a lie.
I will never again pay someone for a potential job, or anything else no matter how good it sounds. They will have to be the ones making the risk, if they can't, then it's just tough!
