International Private Investigators Union ( IPIU ), Also MCC Services more than a rip-off.. FRAUD, Jeremy Lancaster already defrauded people in Idaho in another scheme Bigfork Montana
IPIU posts want ads on various job search web sites. They lead you to believe that there are local businesses interested in hiring you. They have you fill out a profile and Case Examiner application to a fictional company called MCC Services. Members have to pay addtional money to gain higher levels. With each level you are promised access to jobs.
Many members are unemployed and think that they are on the right track to a career in private investigation. I feel sorry for those who put all their chips on IPIU for their job hopes.
Once you gain access to level 4 you will find about 42 mystery shopping companies and an additional fictional company dealing in pay-per-view piracy.
All of these companies can be found free on the internet. There are many mystery shopping companies listed online. After over $100 in an investment with background checks, fingerprinting and applications that go nowhere, all you get is access to something you could have gotten free.
I finally asked IPIU when I was going to get an interviews or leads on PI jobs. They told me that I had to have at least 90 mystery shops under my belt to be considered experienced enough to apply for positions they have.
Although they say that many have received PI jobs, if you look through the Mystery Shopping forums on the IPIU site, you will notice that there aren't that many posts for those who are mystery shopping. This leads me to believe there aren't many (if any) people who have posted their mystery shopping assignments. This is a poor percentage of those who have the chance of getting a real PI job.
In actuality, IPIU is run by a man named Jeremy Lancaster. He has already defrauded people in Idaho in another scheme.
Note that the business does not ever post a physical address and uses an internet fax number to do faxing. Wouldn't a real company have real fax machines in their building?
