American Registration Center Job Hunters, beware of the Amercian Registration Center! This so called Government Employment Services, failed to provide back refunds to their customers. Montebello California
On January 9, 2006, I went to applied for employment at the ARC in Montebello. There was an ad in the LA Times stating that the U.S Postal/Government was hiring and they started you off with full pay/benefits, and to applied at the ARC. One has to make an appointment first for a placement test. So on that day, I went into the office and took the test.After turning in the exam, they made me wait and provided me certain papers about the great opportunities I will have once working for the U.S Postal. It all sounded great and I felt I had a chance of having a good job.
Later, I met with the interviewer by the named of Victoria. She said to me that I passed the exam, which I know I didn't do so well. She didn't even bother of showing me my results. She explained to me how the process worked in order to work there, and a fee to pay. So I did what I knew I shouldn't have done, a fee of $395.00. She also kept telling me that whenever I want my money, it will be returned , " Money Back Guarantee".
I'm in the month of August, and I've been fighting to get my money back for the past 8 months. I've talked to their 4 Reps: Veroica, Liz, Melissa, and Hope about my situation. They very rude and provide bad services when I try to speak with them. They say, "In order to get your money back, you need to register to for 3 tests, fail them, and we will return your money back." I haven't recevied a single test date by mail or by phone. I was supposed to get something in July, never did. Why is this situation taking so long? Where's my money?
P.S Their vice president is named Ryan W., since they don't have a corporate number for complaints.
