Does anyone or a moderator have any information on this place or company? Well it does not seem to be a company. Thanks

The MT waters are swimming with sharks, and - -Rocky Raccoon - s/m

especially during these hard times, the sharks are breeding and multiplying. And why shouldn't they? They have a nearly endless supply of ever-more-desperate MTs to prey upon. They can smell our financial desperation a mile away, and will circle, reading MT forums and looking for those of us who need jobs the most, and they they'll attract us with job ads that sound like the answer to all our problems.

So, we have to be more vigilant than ever. Check out so-called companies (or even real ones) here, or through Yelp or the Better Business Bureau. If applying, DO NOT give them personal information other than a contact phone number, or an email other than your normal, personal email. Never, ever, pay for a job. This includes if you are using the services of an employment agency. The employer pays them, NOT the employee.

If something doesn't look right about an advertised employer's website, don't click on ANYTHING. Close it by using your CTL-ALT-DEL function, instead. If you start getting spam or other types of unwanted emails from someone you applied with, often it's possible to block their address from your inbox.

The Great Whites are lurking out there, and we, unfortunately, are the chum.

Thanks so much - Roma

Well since it was just a server that came up when I googled rr.com it bothered me.

And I thought maybe just someone trying to get their work done or overload and that they might not be legit. Not sure but made me wonder for sure.

I did not apply, asked first to see what the thinking on here is

rr.com - Ohio MT

rr.com is Roadrunner.com. We had an older cable company that was bought out by Time Warner (a little company) and for our email extension, they gave us the long version of roadrunner.com. But I know in the big city, their Roadrunner extension is rr.com.

Could it be just MRI (RAD) MT? - Ohio MT

Not sure...but could this just be for an "MRI" transcriptionist? As in radiology MRI? I don't think a company name is intended. JMHO.

An MT who types MRI scans. (NM) - She must have been in a hurry

Looks like 1 person who just needs coverage for SM - baba

[ In Reply To ..]
herself for her vacation and then sporadically for illness/days off from her own work.

You can bet the "on-call" coverage will come at the last possible minute also.

Yes you are correct, she is legitimate - Roma

Linda seems to be a very decent and sincere person as I get into this more.

Thanks to all, and this is the kind of position right now that I am interested in.

No offense intended to anyone, I will be more careful in the future.

I sent my resume in and just heard back last week asking if I was still interested. She sent a brief little word document with some account specs, cpl and paydates--no contract, HIPAA agreement, etc. I did three voice files the first day. She sent back a copy of my transcription, supposedly with corrections, but there were no QA markings or corrections. I did 15 voice files the next day and again she sent back a copy of my transcription with no obvious corrections. I asked her how I was sup ...

I thought this was a really cute and interesting way to raise money for breast cancer awareness. Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon made this video to help raise funds and it looks like they had such a fun time doing it. And they even included all different departments of the hospital. It brightened up my morning a little and made me smile, and I wanted to share with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEdVfyt-mLw ...

He answers calls and troubleshoots for Direct TV. He also gets the full Direct TV package for free as a benefit of the job. When he answ ...

I worked for this woman as did at least two others I know of. I am so sorry you gotted tricked by her. She has been doing this sort of thing for a long time.

Is this really true? I was already on the fence about it....I despise ADHI but at the same time realize having CMT could possibly help find a job and sometimes (rarely) get a CMT diff. Not to mention the test cost $300 whether you pass or not. So now you have to pay to pass the RMT? This can't be true. I mean, if you can pass the CMT you should be able to pass the RMT w/o having to PAY for it. ...

By no means am I trying to put anyone down in this profession, new or old; however, MANY years ago, PHONICS were taught in the schools, which was a form of English/spelling -- for example, if the word had an "F" sound to it it might be "PH" or some other form of spelling -- for example "frenulum" you hear the word and it might be spelled "phrenulum" does it fit in a "medical context?" This also comes into play with having the "proper tools" in place -- I have always ...
