National Auto Academy The training you have to pay for??!! It's a SCAM Auburn Nationwide
I got a call from a dealership saying that they got my resume and wanted me to come in for an interview. Once I researched the dealership and found out it was legit I went for the interview. I accepted the opportunity to attend an unpaid training. It was there they told me about money to gain certifications with the companies. I thought it was rather odd but brushed it off ( mistake#1). I later discussed the pricing with the teacher and came up with half on the last day of training. we couldn't sign any paperwork until we had give up the money (mistake #2). I have never seen this practice before in any job interview but the promise of a large income and opportunity to change your life sounded good. Unfortunately, if it's too good to be true it usually is. Feeling unease I called the instructor and asked if I would be granted a position immediately after training and Chris promised that I would begin work on Wednesday. When I interviewed with the boss at the Diamond Car Group in Auburn I finally was told that his gentleman had no affiliation with the dealership and was part of an outside group that comes in to train. I wasn't told about this simple fact until well after the third day of training. He also told me that there was no guarantee of the position and that it was up to his discretion if I even had a job. Confused, I wanted to know what exactly had I just paid for?! Feeling entirely scammed I went back to the teacher, Chris and asked for my deposit back since I didn't feel comfortable getting into business with such shady characters. That was when he showed me the paperwork I signed that explicitly declared I signed up to be scammed. (Mistake #3). Thought my wounds could have been avoided I am writing this to ensure someone else who wants to change their situation and provide for themselves and family doesn't get taken for advantage by this company and their counterparts.
