I am posting this message to alert consumers about the possibility that Career Developers Consulting Group, Edison NJ - could in fact be AKA HARVARD PROFESSIONAL GROUP, Edison NJ and from my personal experiences, I believe they are now operating with the same deceptive tactics, misrepresentations, and empty promises as done previously.

If I am mistaken on this fact, my story and experiences are very much the same with this group, as those documented by HARVARD (even the potetial companies they present, i.e. Phizer) and these services alike, so BUYER BEWARE!

Being new to this board and early in the stages of resourcing and initiating actions I can take, I'm hesitant to go into detail at this time.

Does anyone know of a "legitimate" service out there for the NJ Area ???

Career Developers Consulting Group, CDCG, Office Re-Location to Piscataway, NJ !!

AUTHOR: Diane - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, July 27, 2006

TO POTENTIAL FUTURE VICTIMS - BUYER BEWARE!! , and to those on CDCG's Tail for justice or trying to get their monies back, via a notice I received in email, CDCG states that they have closed down their Edison Office and relocated to Piscataway, NJ, the following is a copy and paste of the exact email message received:

"This email is to inform you that our office at 510 Thornall Street is downsizing as of Friday, June 9, 2006 and we are no longer accepting new clients. This will not affect the services that we are providing to you. Our company is committed to continue to provide you with exceptional service. The rent that we are paying for the current office space is not equal to the services we are receiving from the real estate company. As of Monday, June 12, 2006 we will be moving to a new office conveniently located in Piscataway just off of Route 287. The new address is 200 Centennial Avenue, Suite 200, Piscataway, NJ 08854. The new phone number is (732) 377-2020 and the current email address will stay the same. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Sincerely,

The Staff of Career Developers"

Not sure why I received the notice, guess it was an error on their staffs part, it was sent to me from a person I don't remember ever knowing in that office, named "ibrahim hussain" from a yahoo email address of .

Just wanted to let people know in case CDCG in Piscataway tries to continue to scam others and denies they are the exact same scammers from Edison, NJ or has any association with same.

Update on my status: I disputed the $11,000 charges with my credit card company and this 53 page dispute and records of events and findings was received by Career Developers Consulting Group,AKA Michael Pozderec. He/they did not dispute the charges, thus I was credited the full amount of charges. - Pozd even went so far as to contact me and tell me so personally with apologies for my "pain". Of course, this incident cost me alot more than the $11,000 fee over the course of months I'd been engaged with them and then some, but I'm thankful and relieved that I was refunded these monies. John, I guess I'm the lucky recipient of the "reconcilation pool of numbers" they need to maintain in order to continue on.

During my discoveries, here is further info I validated:

Michael Pozd is in fact the same man who operated under Harvard Professional Group, and now operates under Career Developers Consulting Group. His real name is Michael Pozderec.

According to the Consumer Affairs Division, since he was not registered as the "owner/president" of Harvard Professional Group, he was simply acting as an "agent" , he was able to obtain a license as Career Developers Consulting Group, which has allowed him free reign to continue sucking people in with false promises and overly exaggerated misrepresentations. He is probably protecting himself once again through his bogus "board of directors" and counterparts. Some known affiliates of his so-called HQ: John Harris and his controller: Luis Eisinger. Findings lead me to believe Luis Eisinger was his prior assistant as well.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL - as I believe they are currently proceeding caustiously, but they ARE still in operation!!

I think my 53 page dipute and the authorities I mentioned that I had contacted in the dispute, has they them a little concerned and they are fearing further investigations or whether or not I will be tenancious in trying to expose them, dispite the refund. (I find there website, which is still registered, is not on the web right now. One of there contact numbers has been disconnected. They used to be searchable in Monster's Job Board, but seem to no longer be there.)

And they should be concerned!!! John, I contacted Brenda, and have agreed to be interviewed if it will help to alert the public and/or aide in any other way to stop there scam and other career services who operate like them. Brenda is getting back with me and may do another newscast exposing him once again and the "company" name he now uses. I will also proceed with filing with NJ Consumer Affairs and FTC. These operations should have tighter control, guidelines and licensing regulations, like those of the "International Consulting Firms Association"

#5 Consumer Suggestion

Help for all victims

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 15, 2006

I was involved in this scam some time ago and was successful in getting some money back!!! You must follow the advice of John from scotch plains. You should also contact Brenda Flanagan at UPN nine.

She is with the I-team and will really make a difference!!! You see these crooks (and that really is all they are) fear the media and being brought to the public eye, more than they fear the consumer agencies. this is because they have their scam refined enough to operate under the radar and within the system long enough that they only settle with a small percentage of their victims for a fraction of what they steal. They only need to settle with one victim every 4-6 months to keep on working the scam. That is the fault of the system (div of consumer affairs)It is because of the way NJ div of CA operates that no CRIMINAL charges have been filed!! and they are CRIMINALS!!! It should embarass the state agencies that nothing has been done to stop these crooks. They have been running this scam since 1991!!!! Call the nj div of CA use the OPRA (open public records access) site to request copies of complaints (the volume is staggering)Most of all be PERSISTANT!!!! Contact me thru this site and I will help as much as possible

CDCG has same owner that Harvard Professional group

AUTHOR: Tonio - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, January 23, 2006

I have just gotten off the phone with someone at the NJ state agency that registers career consultants, and she told me that CDCG has been founded by the president of the now-defunct Harvard Professional group. Their methods are exactly similar (down to the amount of the "retainer"), and their strong sales pitch indicates they are after the same kind of persons.

I almost fell for it. Be careful.
