I read all about Harvard Professional Group
Address:
379 Thornall Street, West Tower
Edison New Jersey 08837

But these posts are old, I am wondering if Career Developers Consulting Group, LTD is now the new Harvard. They also have a Micheal Poz or something associated with them as I am finding out from the testimonial CD they sent me home with.

They called me one day out of the blue, from Monster.com (which I am beginning to wonder about - I keep getting scammed - second time for me - first was with American Life Income from Edison) I had my second interview today. A nice girl called me to say a Bill ---- wants to see me about a job. Never saw Bill ---, but a Steve -----. I thought they had a job lined up, but I'm learning quick from reading RIPP-OFF that they don't. They want a life long commitment, no money up-front but they want a cut of my salary for life ????? (okay really 1yr - but they push for the life long commitment)

What I don't get is why does he want me to bring my wife in for an interview, that made me suspicous so I read ripoff (should have done this first) anyway...whats the deal with bringing my wife in for an interview when I am the one looking for a job.

They say because they want a commitment....from my wife ????? whats the deal with that....
Oh yea, why is he telling me he knows the CEO at Johnson and Johnson and it's to fill a top job in IT ....why would the CEO of any company get involved with hiring ??????

Anyway tell me I'm crazy, but I don't think they hook people up with jobs (you where going to get that job anyway) they just hook themselves into your paycheck .....TRUE ?????

I mean Business

#10 Consumer Suggestion

CDCG has re-located their Office to Piscataway, NJ

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

POSTED: Thursday, July 27, 2006

I was a victim of CDCG and I recently received an email from someone named "ibrahim hussain" who signed the email as "The Career Developers Staff" stating that they have re-located their office/operations from Edison, NJ to Piscataway, NJ. The email reads as follows:

"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"

I guess he just went down their bulk client list and I got lucky in receiving the notice to be able to post this updated info here. I'm doing so in hopes to aide future potential victims so that they do not get scammed and ripped off by these same folks and in case this can be helpful to anyone trying to stop these scammers, etc...

I hope this latest info proves helpful!

#9 Consumer Suggestion

They must be "put away" if they are not they will just move on and change names and places continuing to scam people out of their hard earned money when they are most vunerable!!!!

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

POSTED: Monday, May 08, 2006

Victims of this scam, Please contact Joe Perone at the star ledger, or Breda Flanagan at UPN 9
(iteam) to get results! This is an example of the media having more power than the government! How long is it going to take the NJ div of consumer affair to get of their butts and file CRIMINAL charges against Poz and Scanio! The complaints pour in and NOTHING is done! It's so OBVIOUS what's going on yet the respective agencies are doing nothing to stop this scam. Results can only be achieved by bringing this into the public eye!

Use the media! Restitution was reached only AFTER Harvard was exposed to the public! Threats of contacting the NJ DIV of CA did little in getting refunds from Scanio and Poz. These two thieves operate with impunity! They must be "put away" if they are not they will just move on and change names and places continuing to scam people out of their hard earned money when they are most vunerable!!!!

Thank you Joe and Brenda for what you guys do! If you're ever looking to expand your crew feel free to contact me, I'd love to come aboard!

Business
That is true. They want to have you as comfortable as possible. Wouln't you be comfortable with your spouse there? This is one way there tactics to try to get your guard down to help deceive you.

Most people don't bring there spouse because they can't have them take a day off to go meet with these people and these Thiefs know this. It's all a numbers game and trust me a few thousand here and there keeps them rolling.

Your Husband is a SMART man and you are a SMART woman to follow your instincts. Pass your knowledge around, so those unfortunate ones don't get stuck in this SCAM!!!

Did you guys really bring your spouse in?

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

POSTED: Friday, April 28, 2006

Sam, Do people really bring their spouses in for an interview. Do they do that so they can lock a deal for $6,000, even though they tell you no money upfront until you have a job?

That's what they wanted me to do, bring my husband in. My husband told me I was crazy for going there in the first place. I am glad that he didn't want to go or I might have gone with it.

This is true to Character for Michael Poz..

AUTHOR: Helpful Sam - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, April 28, 2006

This Michael Poz is true to character. He tries to make himself feel like a bigger man by degrading his so-called clients or those who find him out. This is the only way he can feel like he is a MAN. He is a lo-life. The apple does not fall to far from the tree!

Don't take it to heart. He has done the same thing at HPG, and is still doing it.

Just remember, if you did not know, he was the one recorded on VIDEO and shown throughout the tristate area and then some, using his desceptive tactics.

So now you know why this LOSER acts the way he does. He has no morals and thrives on theifery tactics.

Michael your days are numbered and you will always have to keep running. Great way to live life. DON'T DROP THE SOAP

No one that you have EVER deceived, lied and stole from, will let you live in PEACE!

Yes CDCG was Harvard

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

POSTED: Tuesday, April 25, 2006

After reading all the posts, I decided to call Career Developers and ask if they where previously The Harvard Professional Group.
They told me that they where never the Harvard Professional Group. I called again asking for a
Michael Poz, oddley enough the women knew a Michale Poz and when I asked if he was from the Harvard Pofessional Group she hung up.
I called again, but no answer, only a msg machine. I called again to one of their 3 number extentions and ask if it was usual to bring your spouse in for an interview becuase I was curious if people actually brought their wife or husband in for an interview. The man who answered was new and didn't know this info, but would pass on a msg to the Michael Pozd that I has asked for.
(I got Michael Pozd's name from reading the posting and heard a clinet say his name while listening to the CD they gave me. I did a Google search on Michael Pozd and to my surprise News Channel 10 did a cover story on their scamming, that they are the previous Harvard Professional Group.

Anyway so My Cell phone rang I did not restrict my number when I called them - no reason for me to hide) It was Michael Poz? or the same voice as on the CD. Yelling at me, that I better have a good lawyer because I called his office too many times and am harrassing him ????????
He said "I have you on recording, if you call my office again I will call the police and have you arrested(grow up dude - get real). He says "I have you on recording, you leach, we have you using 4 letter words." The guy was a total flip out. He said that I called his company over 20 times today and he is getting his lawyer and I better have a good one because he is going to sue me.

Maybe I did call too many times, I wasn't getting my questions answered. I never used 4 letter words or was even insulting, I was not, only asked simple questiones, like where you Harvard Professionals.

They called me first with opportunities fit to my needs, just for me. That I found them out is why he doesn't want me to call back. I told him I was coming over with a big sign and will walk out front of his building, that he can't stop me.

My point: I did call maybe too many times trying to find out if this was a legitimate offer.
That he called me back with threats and said he recorded me using 4 letter words was an out right lie, I was nothing of the sort. Just proves to me he is a dishonest person.

Note to Michael Poz and company:
Don't you ever call my house again threatening me with your lawyer crap, that you'll call the police that I am harassing you with 4 letter words. I am the client don't forget, how dare you, you called me because you said you had an opportinuty for me. You don't - so you harrassed me and lied to me, tryed to cheat me out of my money. Time to leave the State dude, New Jersey doesn't need you doing business in our State.

Don't call me or anyone I know - ever !!!
You are the leaches at Career Developers Consulting Group, not me.

I still wanna know if people really do bring their spouses in for an interview.
There is no job process on earth that requires
interviewing the spouse, it's to manipulate people.
