Job seekers often report that companies similar to this one post advertisements on the internet and in newspapers offering high-paying employment, often with little or no experience required. Some advertise for positions available in specific industries in which employment may produce above average benefits or offer some other desirable perks. We consider these types of advertising practices to be deceptive and misleading. These companies are not actually offering employment and therefore cannot guarantee it. Most fail to disclose any fees associated with their services and often misrepresent that their fees are for screening or interviewing costs.

Complaints about similar services allege that advertised employment was unavailable or that jobs were non-existent, that listed companies did not exist or did not provide permission for publication, and that the advertising related to earnings potential was misleading.

California Law requires that you receive a written contract which includes: basic company information, a fee schedule, a description of services, and an explanation of your three-day cancellation and refund rights. Any fees must be refunded if the company fails to provide at least three employment opportunities within seven business days after signing the contract. If you fail to obtain employment within 90 days, you are entitled to a refund less $25, which must be paid within 10 days or the company must pay twice the amount. The law also requires these companies to have written permission from the listed employer(s) both to advertise the positions, verified within 4 days of printing, and to refer jobseekers that meet specifications.

If your written contract does not inform you of your right to a refund or to cancel, you may demand your refund or cancel your contract at any time, without regard to these time limits.
