WARNING: Scam Job Ads (SM)

A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly. They are NOT an MTSO company. They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients. They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you. You should NEVER pay to work ...

I guess I'm possibly 2 weeks away from termination if I don't pass the next 2 audits. Trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise :) Never failed an audit in the over 10 years that I've worked for Medquist, or maybe I was never audited who knows. ...

just curious... I see the scam ad for belly fat on main screen here now. This "julie" person does the exact same advertising for several products - same wording. There's no such person, no such TV station. If you look closely, top of screen has word ADVERTORIAL on status line. That is their blanket disclaimer that pretty much means it's all made up, not a factual person or situation. Just a story. Why is it on this site? ...

I've done medical trans for 20 years, QA for 10, feel pretty stupid that I failed the online test for WordZxpressed and was referred to CareerStep. Is this a scam? ...

Is anybody else going through this? Transform used to be a great company, been there for years making good pay, good accounts. Lately they have just insituted this fancy new "pay" system where our base pay has been decimated but we get to make up some of it up by jumping through all these hoops, like typing more than 1000 lines gets you a percentage increase (percentage of what), using typing keyboard "shortcuts" gets you more crumbs here and there. In the end we really don ...

Hello everyone, I've never posted on here before, but a good friend suggested I do so. I've been working for a company, Astat Transcription, and I fear that they are not going to pay me the last two paychecks that I am due. I gave them two week's written notice of my intentions to leave and they asked me to continue working for two weeks, which I did. They tell me they sent me an email asking me to stop work on Nov. 30 and that they would mail my final check, bu ...

It was a get-rich scheme from the very beginning. Brilliant, really. Except that when they championed the offshoring of our work, and the lowering of our wages, they made it so that most MTs with anything between the ears but empty space would question the value of the BOS, the validity of the CMT, and the very existence of this so-called "for-the-MTs" organization. S - Superficial,C - Contrived,A - andM - Meritless! ...

I was contacted by a company wanting to interview by chatting. I did all that, and it sounded so great. Set your own hours, work as much as you want, etc. All I had to do to get started was pay $295 for the software they use. I did some fast Google searches in another window and decided not to. They pointed out that as an Independent Contracter, I was responsible for my own equipment. I pointed out that I bought my own hardware, which is almost universall ...

If you applied to a position regarding, this time path and hist transcription, and sent your contact information to a karen_hill19@yahoo.com, you will hear back from her and be asked to add a David Winkler to your yahoo messenger, wherein he will ask to do an interview with you online. At the end of the interview he will tell you the following: davidwinkleronline:‎ You will be undergoing a (1) one week training and orientation which will commence as soon as you have all ...

I recently applied for a job on MTJobs.com and received a reply a couple of days later that asked me to add a friend to yahoo messenger for an online interview. I added the person and went through a 40+ minute interview process. At the end of the interview process, I was offered the position. They would be sending me the documentation in the mail. Along with this package there was going to be included a check for the computer system. I informed the person that I had ...

When you click on web address, it brings you to a blog page. I also searched for a long time and absolutely nothing comes up for this company. When calling phone number, name does match answering machine message though. Sent resume and it was returned as delivery failure. ...

They've been sticking me with 1 "error" just about every other week. That 1 "error" brings my pay down to just about 8 cpl, very close to minimum wage every other week. I got to thinking. With the old pay plan I was getting the quarterly bonus almost every time. That means I had at least 99.5% accuracy for 3 months at a time. So I ran a report on my QA jobs for the past 3 months. My QA accuracy came to 99.6%. Same accuracy as on the old pay plan, but yet I'm such a bad transcrip ...

I recceived a letter the other day as an advertisement stating "Work from the comfort of your home! Typist needed. 1,000's of immediate openings available. No experience necessary. Flexible hours, FT or PT, competitive pay. Must be ablet to type 85 words or more per minute. Must be detailed oriented, accurate, and have good listening skills. Typing test will be administered. Most positions require that applicant reside in the US. I ...

Sciance Transcription is a company sending most work to India, doesn't pay. I mean, I worked and I am not getting a paycheck. I have had to file a complaint with Labor Commission. They are not honest and do not communicate. When asked if we get paid the 0.095 per line for the # we see...or...are they still deducting spaces from that number? They won't answer you. They pay for black characters only, so you could think you are getting paid for a 1000 li ...

Nuance recruited me with a promise of six paid holidays, the usual major U.S. holidays. It includes these holidays in its (new) Employee Handbook. However, I have just learned that Nuance does NOT provide paid holiday pay per se. It provides a measley "incentive" of 25% above usual line pay only if one works the holiday. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY'S RECRUITERS. This company's benefits are the worst I have seen in the industry. Since hospitals have b ...

BE LEARY OF THE AD ON MT JOBS FOR CYPRESS MEDICAL, THEY ARE A SCAM! THEY CANNOT EVEN CONSTRUCT A SENTENCE, WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPANY, GIVE A HISTORY OR HAVE A WEBSITE OR PROVIDE A PHONE NUMBER OR A CEO, OR MANAGER'S NAME! THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO WITH A GATEWAY AD, AND THEY STUCK ME FOR $1200! PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THIS AD, MY COMPUTER WAS COMPROMISED RIGHT AFTER I RESPONDED TO THE AD! ...

Wow! Got an email from CCM about someone calling an MT trying to get access to computer as if they were a technician. Did anyone else get it? That is crazy. They sure are bold about scamming people. I know the voices of the technicians that work on our accounts. Be careful! ...

I received the same email as above that mentions is a scam. Appreciate the info. I was close to logging on and listening to their speed...glad I didn't waste my time. again thanks...now...still looking for part time emp. ...

This con artist is using indeed.com to advertise for MTs. They use various cities, state the job is for a F/T MT to be paid $13 to $15 per hour. They do not list a phone number or address, but list a legitimate business Web site. This one used nestrealty.com (legit and has nothing to do with the scammer) and a legit realtor's name Marjorie Adam who is in VA. After sending your resume, they reveal this info, stating she is "also a realtor" hmm, doctor and realtor on t ...

I recently received an E-mail to call a company who is hiring for a large oncology account. The company's name does not sound like it would be an MTSO but rather a company that handles data for other companies. I called the company, the person seemed very nice, but was not very informative about medical transcription or even the aspects behind hiring MTs. There was no mention of a test. Paperwork was sent to me. Everything looked legit. There was mention ...

On 10/8/13 I downloaded Antivirus Security Pro per instructions and they immediately charged my credit card $99.99. It was started that I was automatically granted a 12-month access in which to re-download at any time. When downloaded, there was an icon on the desktop and the program listed in the folder on C drive. My old antivirus was still good, so I did not try to the product right away. Around 11/1/13 did try it and it had disappeared, icon and program. Tried t ...

Just saw this ad on another board. Tip-offs were the usual - no company name, hours "any time", status "employee or student", etc. There is no Prescott, Alaska, and contact is a gmail address, not the address of a legitimate company. Finally, job description is verbatim from a 2013 ad on this site: http://forum.mtstars.com/468529.html ...

I was reading through the archives, and someone said that they were affiated with Davis Transcription, which was a scam company. Is this true, or is Clear Choice okay to work for? Do they pay on time? Sorry to ask again, but I'd like to know before I make the wrong decision. ...

is Global Marketing Specialist Group and they are a RIPOFF! BEWARE! Don't apply to them. They'll promise the world and take your money. ...

Just received this email from a fraud-alert company: A New Twist to the Online Job Search Scam With the country's current economic position coupled with the fluctuating unemployment rate, people are searching and posting for jobs all over the internet. Unfortunately, criminals have taken notice. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reports they have "recently received over 250 complaints reporting a new twist to the online employment scam. The scam involves people who res ...

I'm sure most of you are savvy enough to watch out for email scams. I only mention this because I actually am expecting a package and this one looks legit enough. It appears to be from FedEx. Says the courier could not deliver your package, print this receipt and follow directions. ...

I got a call today from this number 516-673-0621. They claimed to be from Microsoft and said they had received messages that I was getting error warnings on my computer and offered to help me fix it. They took me to this website www.teamviewer.com which would allow them to get into my computer and fix the problem. I have worked with Microsoft tech support-this is not how they do things. I always contact Microsoft first and they call me back to fix any problems. I told the man I wasn't going ...

what a pain. I sure hope the scammers aren't continuously posting cause some poor desperate MTs are responding to those ads with a yahoo email addy and an address in Richmond State, Virginia. ...

Okay, so I got a job offer! Yeah, sounds great but the pay was at low level, but I kept my options opened and I said okay. They do not use the standard counting and count a line if there is only one word. I thought Wow that is strange but maybe the companies I have been for are more on the straight and narrow. Then she told me no contract, just too much paperwork and a lot of "mumble jumble". I thought okay odd but okay. Then said told me it was on a trial bas ...
