Additional Complaint Information

 

 

BBB Files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning its marketing practices that imply a company affiliation with airlines.   Marketing statements imply that transactions with American Careers, LLC are directly connected to airlines when the company instead provides information about the overall airline hiring process.  Persons seeking to return company materials for a promised refund must document their contact with Human Resources departments of airlines to qualify for adjustments, described in marketing information only as "guaranteed refunds."  The BBB wrote to the company on November 28, 2012 regarding these issues, asking that modifications be made to its materials to clarify its presentations and refund terms.  The company has failed to respond to the BBB on these questions.

Sorry  you got SCAMMED, join the club, I to was lead astray, I  sent my 39 bucks, and received an EMAIL full of airports to apply to, which I could have done the same thing on line, applying to as many airlines as I wanted, and  could have kept my 39 bucks. no one ansers at the phone number on  american careers  website page. these people shud be STOPPED, taking advantage of people trying to get a job at an airline

I cant beleave no one has stopped them from scamming people thus far. I think the FIRST RED FLAG for us shud have been on ther website page, when american careers  PLAINLY states DO NOT CLICK on the link on this page to apply for  flight attendant job. CALL ther number on the page. from then on is were ther SCAM begins as to were to send the 39 bucks. I learned my lesson, next time CALL the numbers of a company first, to make sure someone is actually REAL ther.

THIS IS A SCAM.... They say you can be refunded, but only if you meet the guidlines listed below. You have to have 10 rejection letters from 10 different airlines, and mail them to American Careers within 90 days of the time you received your Airline Career Development Guide.... THIS IS THE SCAM.... YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY GET 10 REJECTION LETTERS FROM 10 DIFFERENT AIRLINES MAILED BACK WITHIN 90 DAYS OF GETTING YOUR GUIDE.... I WAS SCAMMED, AND I'M OFFERING A BOUNTY FOR THE "HEAD ON A PLATTER" OF THIS SCAMMER!!!!

The email sent to me by American Careers LLC says I cannot email this guide to other people... but, I'm willing to email you this guide for free. This way you will not be scammed as I was from a parasite that needs a bullet in the head... Email me at (((email redacted))) and I will email you the guide so the parasite cannot claim another victim...

To yvonne foxworth, if that is even ur real name, you call ur self a career counselor

I have been calling you for over a week, and left numerous messages, and guess what>

no anser or no return phone calls. I would appreciate if you would stop insulting my intellegence

the number you have listed here is the same as the number on ur bogus voice mail, no one ansers to neither  number, first you say in ur job add: airport jobs hiring immediatedly,  then I noticed you typed in ur statement on ur rebutal, it takes time and effort to find a job. then you say contact you, and the number is only a recording, this gets better . i often wondered to my self in the jobs you had on simply hired why couldnt we just click the links and apply, now I no why, because you have the paged rigged, leading poor innocent people to beleave you can actually get them a job. SHAME ON YOU

marquis571@yahoo.com

To Yvonne Foxworth, you call urself a career counselor, if this is so why have you not contacted me back?

I have been calling a hole week, and  left several messages. As always nothing but a recording.

And you have the nerve to have the same contact number listed on here as you do on the voice recording

Stop with this nonsence of you being a counselor, the last time I checked, counselors returmed students phone calls, not take their hard earned money, and try to insult their intellegence, by posting fake numbers.

OK folks, please let me try to shed a little light on this thread.

First off, my name is Yvonne Foxworth. I'm a Career Counselor at American Careers (NYC offices).

For the doubters out there, I must say sorry for any confusion or misconceptions about us, but we certainly are NOT a scam. I've been here for 6 yrs. Indeed, I'm very happy with the results I have
personally obtained from the many Applicants I've assisted to gain employment at various airports/airlines across the USA. Success stories with many different types of Positions, at varying pay rates, anywhere from $14 to $22 / hour.

Regarding our Service, we simply assist Applicants obtain employment through the information that we email/mail them to get them started with the Application Process. We then follow up with phone support via our Career Counselors to assist them in every aspect of the Application Process (Application, Resume, Cover Letters, Thank You Letters, Interviewing Techniques, etc) through our Airline Career Development Guide & our Airline Hiring Update, which includes current listings of Airline Positions & descriptions which the Applicant may then apply for at various Airlines. We will attempt to obtain as many interviews for the Applicant as we possibly can. The $39 one-time fee we charge is refundable in the event we are unable to obtain employment for the Applicant.  Details are included in the paperwork the Applicant receives.  This is a vast amount of information
& assistance which could potentially require many hours to perform individually. This Service will soon be available to Applicants via a new website now under construction:

http://www.americancareersjobs.com/

We have many success stories here with regard to Applicants who have taken the time & effort to read / follow the instructions listed in our Program, and have indeed obtained employment at various Airports across the USA. Obtaining employment takes time and effort. If Applicants are not willing to follow instructions or contact us for help, we can't possibly assist in those efforts. I will gladly personally assist anyone out there in their efforts to obtain employment. Please feel free to view our BBB review in MD:
