This is a common scam. I think you were probably SOL from day one.

Jobs should pay you, you should not pay jobs. I think this is a pretty good rule to apply wrt employement.

Why do stupid people deserve to be taken advantage of? To cater to your sense of superiority?

I'm not saying that this isn't a scam (it sounds like it is), but to all of you quoting "$2500" and saying scam, how would you propose a legitimate business like this would operate?

If I go into business training ppl on being an armed guard including lots of classes and gun training I'm just supposed to comp you?

They would provide the training and then get a placement fee paid to them by the employers who need the trained security people.

Meh. I can see it working both ways. Colleges, trade schools, etc. Although this certainly seems like a scam.

It's definitely not a scam, they are affiliated with the only legit gun range in new york and when I was taking the initial courses there like 29 of the 30 people training had gone through this company. I know you hear "I paid money up front..." and immediately think scam but this place isn't really. I'm going to focus on calling this one guy all day today and monday and if that doesn't work I'm just going to go there and refuse to leave until someone deals with me. Progress report coming soon...
