Complaint Review: Urban Dynamics & career services - New York New York

Urban Dynamics, Security Associates, and several other business names are located at 2 East 42nd Street, NYC. This company is NOT an employer or employment agency. This is strictly an organized fraud to steal money from people that are looking for jobs. This company places ads in various newspapers and on websites advertising that they have high paying security jobs available. If you call, you are told to report to one of their NYC offices. Upon arrival you are told by an interviewer that you will receive a job after you pay them for training courses, licenses, background checks, etc. You are asked to pay $80.00 to $5000. The thieves will try to steal as much money from you as they can. I know someone that lost $3500. to these crooks for the bogus training courses and a false promise of employment. In reality the training is usually fake or unnessessary and given by unlicensed instructors. There are never any jobs. All the money you paid is lost, unless you take action immediately. Here are some suggestions that may help you get your money back...

1) Go back to the crooks offices with your friends or relatives and demand a refund. Don't be shy to shout and make a loud scene, after all they stole your money. Bring a camera with you and take photographs and videos of the crooks and their offices to give to the news media and authorities.

2) Start picketing in front of there building with a big sign telling the public that they are a fraud and scam. Print up informational flyers and hand them out to warn people not to be a victim. Use a bullhorn from radio shack to attract attention. Don't stop until they refund your money. (This method is very effective in getting your money back and fast too.) Peaceful picketing is 100% legal and effective. However, you should not block the crooks doorway or sidewalk or the police can arrest you for disorderly conduct.

3) Go to the local police station and file a complaint of criminal fraud and theft by deception. Speak to the detectives and try to have the crooks arrested.

4) Go to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and file a complaint of fraud.

5) Contact the Department of Consumer Affairs or visit their website and file a complaint of fraud and operating as an unlicensed and fake employment agency.

6) Contact the New York State Department of State or visit their website and file a complaint that they are operating as an unlicensed employment agency, unlicensed watch, guard, and patrol agency, and unlicensed school

7) File a complaint with the New York chapter of the Better Business Bureau

8) Contact the New York State Attorney General's office and file a complaint of fraud

9) Contact your local TV News consumer reporter and tell them that those crooks are operating a fake employment agency and school just to steal money from job seekers.

10) Contact the landlord of the crooks building and advise them that they are operating a criminal enterprise on their property

11) Start a lawsuit in Small Claims Court

12) Place posts on the internet advising the public of the fraud and scam.

The main thing to remember is, use only legal methods in attempting to get back your stolen money. Good luck.
