Transcription America - legitimate company - Sharon


Posted: Sep 10, 2010

I had applied to transcriptionamerica.com. I received an email back from a Nancy Lawson, National recruiter asking me to transcribe a sample file. I did this and when I tried to email it back to the address that she sent it from, I keep getting a failed delivery notice saying that the person's inbox is full. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate company? And if so, do you know any other way that I can get in touch with them to email this sample back to them? Thank you so much!

Cannot find enough concrete information on them, but they appear to be questionable - Good Luck

I hope I have the same company.  When I go to www dot transcriptionamerica dot com, it redirects me to a company called “Way With Words” and there is no written contact information (address, phone, or Email).   Does this happen with you also?  If not, can you give any more information about them or their website?  


 


I’m sorry, but this sounds a little bit like a “You did great on the test, but did not pass.  Would you like to take our courses and try again?” scam. 


Below is an ad I found on yahoo.


 


"We provide precise medical transcription of voice files that doctors dictate for hospitals, clinics and doctor offices.

We also conduct our own training program that prepares individuals for the medical transcription profession. This training is done online in the comfort of your own home. A personal trainer is provided to guide individuals in the training program through a Live Chat environment.

As a recruiter for this national transcription service, I am seeking full-and part-time, home-based medical transcriptionists. We are committed to providing a work environment where medical transcriptionists can grow and be respected for the professionals they are.

We are extending to you a Job Interview.

If you are not yet qualified, we'll provide tuition FREE training and a personal trainer that you'll need to become qualified. Once you meet our criteria, which will be defined for you before you begin, you will be certified by us as an accomplished medical transcriptionist and can begin to work for us. There are no fees.

The pay is good. After completing the training program, people seem to do quite well and as you get more experience, people seem to earn $1,000 to $2,000 a month working about 20-30 hours a week. Some make $3,000-$4,000 a month, full-time 40-48 hours a week (This does not happen overnight). If you want to work more, you'll earn more. If you want to work less, you'll earn less. The choice is yours.

We will provide to you a great working environment where you can make a difference. Our medical transcriptionists start entry level and are eligible for raises. Whether or not you have experience, you can find rewarding work as a medical transcriptionist.

If you are interest in an interview please apply today

We are looking forward to working with you.

Thank you!

The EXACT same ad is running under the company name of “SOMT” and a “Nancy Long” as the National Recruiter.   


I see no reason why you cannot wait until Monday when they clean out their Email log.  You can try to resend the test then.  I would bet that they will not turn anyone down.  


 


Good Luck

Also, the "client list" looks goofy.

Trans Am in disguise - hw

They advertised for employment in my area too. I typed in Transcription America scam and it appears they are Trans Am in disguise, so apparently a scam and just using a different name.

We all know that when it is too good to be true ...... it is!!! These people are takinh advantage of the needs of the unemployed to "offer" training but just keep in mind my best advice to confront this situations: "I need money! I don't need to spend it, so ...... get me a job!".

I applied for a position with them as well. I submitted my test sample and passed. I just received an email telling me that they would like for mw to move onto the next step. Here is the email address that Nancy Lawson is using. I would really like to know if this is legitimate as well; for I am unemployed and have to small children. The first response that I received from them the woman's name was Nancy Long; I am begining to think this is a scam. They found me on Job.com and Nancy Lawson is asking where did I find them. jobinterview1@transcription-america.com

May 06, 2010

This might be a foolish question, but are all the posts on MT school forums for real?  I won't mention the school, but it seems that after several complaints about MT work, there's a sudden rush of "look how much money I'm making" posts.  Seems a little too good to be true.  Are there really people out there pulling in some good funds, or is this more like advertising for the school/MT industry? ...


Nuance, Legitimate Bonus Plan??? Please Read.
Jan 03, 2012

My opinion,  having been in the industry for over 30 years and after reading a few posts on this subject below. For years a good deal of MTSO's including Webmedx had in place bonus or incentive plans based on production ONLY. Such a plan most likely helped Webmedx win "employer of the year" for years. Employees would go the extra mile even working through breaks to achieve higher line counts while at the same time the newer employees could look forward to gaining more experience and e ...
