American Careers took a 39 dollar money order from me claiming that they could get me an interview wth American Airlines, they also claimed that I would get my money back. Baltimore, Maryland
I am filing this complaint, because I responded to an email I received from Career Alerter who post job site. American Careers was one of the site I went to, they had an ad claiming that American Airlines was hiring for several positions, entry level with no experience at Hartsfield/Jackson International (Atl.) airport and call the number where you would like to work.
I called the number 770-621-7777 and got a recording stating to send your full name, address, email, and telephone number along with a one time fee of 39 dollar money order and it's fully guarantee refundable
They stated it was a first come first serve bases and you must be ready to work with in the first 2 weeks of them calling you. They also stated that they will guide you and provide all the materials you need for your first interview.

Dear Applicant,
I fail to understand what your problem is. You stated that you sent in a $39 money order. That is the first step in the process. The second step in the process is for American Careers to email you a guide. We expect for you to read over this, and call the # listed in the guide if you have any questions between the time that you read the guide and a career counselor contacts you. If you do have questions our phone # is clearly stated in the email. If you didn't provide American Careers with an email address, your career guide was mailed out via USPS. Please look for that at your earliest convince. I would like to help you to find the career that you are looking for. Please contact me (Yvonne Foxworth) at (718)-690-7056. I will be more than happy to assist you in getting started with the hiring process.
