Nowhere in this ad does it mention that this is actually a training course. I called the number provided and they told me that I would need $80 for 2-3 days of training then I would have a job. The next day I went for my interview and they had me sign a whole lot of papers off rip. I read the papers and nowhere in there did it say anything about having to pay money. When I was finally called in, he showed me this paper of different packages I can get. I saw the prices for the packages, BUT HE NEVER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PACKAGES. While he was describing it, he just said "these are the cost", he never said "these are the costs YOU have to pay" ...... I paid the $80 for training and left. It wasn't till I got home and showed my brothers the papers they gave me that I realized i got GOT ! The money is Non-Refundable so I never got my money back. Money was already low for me and now Im just $80 broker. I just find it sad that people would wanna rob other people ! Its disgusting !
