Safety Pro, Inc.

The company advertises management trainee positions touting high earnings claims in local newspapers and on various internet job sites. Respondents are initially required to pay a non-refundable registration or background check fee of $60. As a condition of employment job seekers are also asked to purchase a sales kit at a cost of $95 which the company claims is refundable upon becoming a manager. Management trainees and sales representatives are not hired as employees of the company but rather are hired as independent contractors. After purchasing the sales kit employment hopefuls learn that they must sell $3000 worth of product before they are eligible for a management position. ~~When looking for a job keep in mind companies who are really hiring employees do not usually charge their employees for the privilege of working for them. Be suspicious of employment offers that require advance fees or advertise unrealistic earnings claims. You should not have to pay a fee to learn the details of a job secure job-placement assistance obtain a “background” or “identity” screening or accept an employment offer. Job seekers who respond to these ads think they are contacting a bona fide employment offer to fill a specific job. Instead they reach a business that creates the impression that after paying fees for training or buying necessary equipment that high paying jobs are available. In some cases job seekers may be led to believe that most or all of the fees ultimately will be conditionally refunded however our experience with these offers has been that refund eligibility conditions imposed make refunds nearly impossible.
