After testing and waiting for a job offer I decided to log in there 'Live Chat'. Here is the following conversation: Thursday, January 03, 2008 Please wait for a site operator to respond. You are now chatting with 'Recruiting Assistant' Recruiting Assistant: Hello! Thank you for contacting Transam's Live Support. How may I help you today? Tiffany: Hello, I was wondering about the process involved in getting work. Recruiting Assistant: I'd be happy to talk with you about this job opportunity. Recruiting Assistant: This is a guaranteed job! You work for us. Tell me a little bit about your background. What working experience have you had? Did you go to school for this? Tiffany: I worked at Doctor's Hospital in the x-ray dept but was actually trained in medical records. Recruiting Assistant: Okay. Recruiting Assistant: We will train you and bring you up to speed to the way we transcribe. Recruiting Assistant: We assign you your own personal trainer to do that. The trainer designs a program specifically for you. Based on your background, experience, and previous training. That way you don't have to repeat what you already know. Recruiting Assistant: Here's the guarantee: as soon as you are accurate in your transcription we move you over to 'live' work and you start getting paid right away by us. Recruiting Assistant: We pick up all the cost for training, your only investment is in the software itself. Tiffany: I do not feel training is needed. Recruiting Assistant: There is training and then there is training.... Let me explain: Some people have no training or background in medical transcription. Those individuals need more indepth training. Some people though, are already trained and might even have experience doing medical transcription. They need training too. But it is limited to learning how we do transcription. In the end .. It's all about accuracy. Tiffany: I already have the foot pedal, PDR and I understand there is free software that I can download. Tiffany: So, this is schooling and not a job offer? Tiffany: How much do you pay per line? Recruiting Assistant: Let me briefly explain how this whole process works and then I will answer your questions. - It's kind of long. But, in the agreement it talks about some special software, the MT Professional. Did you see that? - It's $495 and you will need that for both the training and for the actual 'paid live' work. - Are you in the position financially to purchase the software at this time? mtprofessional.com/HOP_Pricing.asp Tiffany: Yes, I noticed all of that information. However, after doing Medical Transcription for over 5 years training is not needed. Recruiting Assistant: No more schooling for you. You are ready for a real job. You only need to be accurate...that's all. We will provide you with templates and samples of what your work should look like. You just match your work up with the samples. Sounds simple enough, right? You should do just fine! Tiffany: Sounds great! So, you will e-mail the contract and other needed information? Recruiting Assistant: Okay...Let me help you with this. We may have a job for you! As soon as you are accurate, we move you into live work and you start getting paid by Transam. Work and pay is guaranteed. Please read the agreement, (which will answer most of your questions including any costs involved). Please click on this link: it is 8 pages long. Please read all of it and then come back to discuss it. Click to Read the Application. Agreement Tiffany: Thank you Recruiting Assistant: You're welcome Please stay in touch. Tiffany: I have already submitted this application Tiffany: The reason I logged on here was to be infomed of the actual job and how much Transam pays per line etc. Recruiting Assistant: The pay is good. They start you out slow (they don't want to overwhelm you right from the start) and increase the volume as you are able to handle more. You don't get paid by the hour but by what you do...how much work you produce. However, I have had some of our professional MT's say that based on their production they seem to earn about $20 to $25 an hour. After completing the training program, people seem to do quite well and as they get more professional at this, people seem to earn $1,000 to $2,000 a month working part-time about 20-30 hours a week. Some make $3,000-$4,000 a month, full-time working 40-48 hours a week (this does not happen immediately). If you want to work more, you'll earn more. If you want to work less, you'll earn less. The choice is yours. Tiffany: Why, are you mentioning the "training program"? Tiffany: Is the contract available? Tiffany: Is the work from a local hospital or from across the United States? Recruiting Assistant: You will receive that once you purchase the software for the training. Tiffany: Why do I need to purchase the software? Recruiting Assistant: The MT Professional is the total communication link between you and us. That's how you receive your work. That's how you send your work back to us. And that's how you talk to your personal trainer 'live' right in the program. Timing is everything! When do you think you will be able to get the software? Recruiting Assistant: The MT Professional is the total communication link between you and us. That's how you receive your work. That's how you send your work back to us. And that's how you talk to your personal trainer 'live' right in the program. Timing is everything! When do you think you will be able to get the software? Tiffany: Are we having a communication problem? I am not going to purchase any software because I have over five years of experience as a medical transcriptionist. However, I was never certified. Yet, my understanding was that I take the test and prove my skills from the test and then I would be offered a paying job! Recruiting Assistant: There is training and then there is training.... Let me explain: Some people have no training or background in medical transcription. Those individuals need more indepth training. Some people though, are already trained and might even have experience doing medical transcription. They need training too. But it is limited to learning how we do transcription. In the end .. It's all about accuracy. Tiffany: I understand. This is bogus. It's all about schooling and Transam getting money for software. I will be contacting BBB and my local state representative and complain about this scam! Good luck Clearly, this company is about selling software and nothing about offering employment. Stay clear of this ripoff! Tiffany morehead, Kentucky
