Went to See Lew Carlson after his secretarty contacted me. He told me that my resume had been specifically sent to him by a third party. He told both me and my wife that Benard Haldane would be writing my resumes and would be marketing me in the "hidden job" market. He said that I would be working with three people to give them the information they needed to get my job campaign together. I asked him a direct question of "would they be able to get me a job in my field" and his answer was "Yes." He also went on to say that he had been in the area 25+ years and most of the executives in the area had been placed by his firm. He said because of this, they would have no problem getting me a job in the area. I told him that I also wanted to have other states(Fla, Ohio, Tx) included in my search. His answer to this was that they had offices in each of those states so there would be a problem getting me in to see the decision makers for companies in those areas. He intially told me the price would be $3000 but when we went to sign-up, the price went to $4500. I paid $1500 up front and began my meetings with his "associate". These meetings were supposed to be 1 to 1.5 hrs long. I went to 8 meetings and not one was longer than 25min. About half way though, I realized there program was much different than what they had told my wife and I and asked for a meeting with Mr. Carlson. The meeting was set, but the day of the meeting his secretary cancelled because he supposedly had an emergency. He made no effort to follow-up afterwards. I have tried to call 4 times to date and have left messages with the secretary and on their voicemail but he refuses to call me back to discuss the decrepancies. The BHA CEO is Richard Morton, (425) 957-1568, 5731 140th Pl SE, Bellevue , WA. Derrick Issaquah, Washington

Derrick,

Call that representative back and demand your money paid back in full. Tell them that you intend to report him to your state's attorney general's office; the local newspaper and that you intend to file in small claims court. Then go and do all three of those things.

When you file the report online with your state attorney general's office your complaint should state theft by deception. The AG's office should be very interested to discover what BH refers to by "the hidden job market." Refer the AG's office to the rip-off report. Go to: http://www.wa.gov/ago/consumer/.

The third party that referred you was most likely Hot Jobs, or Monster or some other online advertisement for employment. Bernard Haldane's offices have no shame.

Contact your local television station and ask for the consumer watchdog. Tell them this would make a sexy story and refer them to The Rip-off Report to see all the other victims.

Dont sign a confidentially agreement to get your money back.

Good Luck
