Attention all recession clobbered, out work, just trying to make the bills get paid people out there, I got ripped off, and it could yhappen to you.
I made the mistake of signing up to be trained to become a Medical Transcriptionist with these people, if you can call them that. the people running Transan Associates are, surprise surprise, SCAM ARTISTS!

Like many others out there, I was searching for a way to make an honest living at home through the use of my computer and was contacted by Transam Associates via a Yahoo Hot Jobs Alert. These sub-human blood suckers offered me free training to become a Medical Transcriptionist, provided I pay for their software (MtProfessional) kit. I am not exactly internet savvy, but am also not stupid, and was just looking for legitimate work at home. I fell victim to their prey at first and put their software kit on "layaway" and sent them $100 bucks. I didnt get an instant receipt right away like you should with any internet purchase, so I immeadiately got sick to my stomach knowing that I had probably just made a huge stupid mistake. I investigated, and sure enough I was right,and found out through blogs and the BBB that they are not legit. I tried calling these people and they wouldn't even acknowledge that they were who they claimed to be on the net, and told me that I kept dialing the wrong number, even though the number was clearly listed on my phone, and I had gotten their MtProfessional voicemail a few times before a live person finally picked up. She was unwilling to admit it was them and tried to tell me I was dialing wrong. I was given the ol blow off run around. I was ripped off and am writing a report to help any other individuals from having the same thing happen to them by these SCAMMERS.

AVOID THIS COMPANY. After submitting a test transcription to them for their review, I received an email requesting which pointed to their website. This webpage requested that I take yet another test. Also, in this page's agreement text, they provided a list of "required software".

In my judgment, all you really need for computer transcriptions is Notepad or a word processor app such as Word. But they require you to buy $495.00 software which, of course, must be purchased from them. In no way do I consider this to be a worthwhile investment for software which, at face value, appears to do what freeware can do. (The cost is said to include 'licensing' and 'preparation' expenses. Please consider the 'licensing' and 'preparation' costs of Notepad in comparison).

This is yet another attempt to make a prospective work-at-home worker pay money instead of getting paid money, in my opinion.
