Transam Associates Fraudulent Employment Ripoff, Work-at-home Scam Valrico Florida
The company is already know for fraudulent employment. If one was to Google "Transam Associates" and "scam", one would find many complaints and warnings of this company.
Basically, it is a "work from home" scam. This particular situation is for Medical Transcription. They lure you in with "free training" "free personal trainer." Then they ask for over $400 dollars for their software.
This is not real employment. They will keep you in training and continue to fail you on your examinations. If you read the complaints and reports about this company, you will find many have been in training for over six months. They complain that no matter what they do they can not pass and examination.
I would encourage anyone to fully investigate this company before even contacting them.

Nobody needs to shell out $415 for a transcription software. I downloaded Express Scribe off the Internet, and I'm happy to say that it does its job very well and that it's absolutely FREE! The "free" training is baloney. I'm glad I did not fall for this scam. I'm happily working as a transcriptionist at home, WITHOUT EVER PAYING A CENT to get hired for this job.

Michael, while your input is appreciated, we valid sources from your company's satisfied customers. Not just what you post at your websites, either -- we are not stupid and know that those can easily be contrived. How can an individual hear from your satisfied customers - or why do they not defend the company and courses here at this website? This is a pretty known website the Rip-Off Report. The public needs to be comfortable knowing our other "fellow Americans" are legitimate, especially in these times when everybody across the globe is trying to scam everyone else. Dear god, we just want to feed our families and are happy to pay for a service that is promised in return for our money. Is this too much to ask? You will get a LOT more people signing up unhesitatingly once they are convinced you are for real.... Just a thought. It is a free country here to scam others --- and be sued for it. But what a lot of heartache and expense for BOTH sides. And all we want to do is feed our families...

Here is the response from "LiveHelp": "I may be wrong. I frequently am. And if I am wrong I want to be put straight. Let's examine this together.... Some people are just not cut out for this field. When they realize this, they want to blame the failure on the program rather than look at themselves. Medical Transcription is a very challenging field. Most companies require a minimum of 2 years of experience even if you have graduated from a medical transcription school. Consider that you are typing medical reports for real people and those reports can be used in life or death decisions. They need to be accurate. The people that have not qualified in our program have not been able to achieve the degree of accuracy that we have stated up front that we require. I would also like for you to consider that some of those people may have had no prior medical transcription experience or school. We still accept them into our training program and we will work with them as long as it takes, but it will take someone with no experience in the field longer to qualify than someone who has had experience."
