Has anyone heard of VMR-Transfer? - Jen
Posted: May 05, 2010
Has anyone heard of VMR-Transfer? Their website is www.vmr-transfer.com. They claim they are a transcription company that specializes in transcription for veterinarians. I was offered a job from them, but I am becoming skeptical it could be a fraud. They ask for your social security number. I want to warn others to be careful with this company. They do not return phone calls or e-mails, after asking for your SS#.
VMR - I was also offered a job, BUT . . . please sm - mt
[ In Reply To ..]when I asked for a phone conversation for more details, interestingly enough I have not heard back from her since then and that was 3-4 days ago. I believe it is a fraud and STAY AWAY. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THIS PERSON.
Rejected - Pamela Haffner
[ In Reply To ..]I'm so sorry Jen. Are you ***** now because VMR-Transfer rejected your application because we figured out it was you who sent the original posting regarding VMR-Transfer being a Scam?

VMR-Transfer - Jen
[ In Reply To ..]I was not the original person who suggested this was a scam. I found this site, and discovered posts from many others who were skeptical about your company. I then proceded to post my concerns as well. Adding all things up, your business operations still appear to be skeptical and unprofessional, and this is why I rejected your offer.
Well after seeing the exchange on this board . . . - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I am even more skeptical. This is not good. And yes, I can see how people would think it is a scam. Information is what we require, and if we cannot get it in a reasonable amount of time, we become very suspicious. Why so defensive?
Defensive - Pamela
[ In Reply To ..]You would probably get defensive aswell if something you have worked hard for for, for so long is said to be a scam. I realize that you need to protect your identity but never thought for a moment that I would have to defend VMR-Transfer.
Are you the owner of the business Pamela? nm - jcmt

VMR-Transfer is NOT a SCAM - Pamela Haffner
[ In Reply To ..]VMR-Transfer is not a scam. We are busy processing the 500+ applications that we received. We are no longer accepting new applications for this reason. Thank you to everybody who took the time to respond to the job opening and good luck.

To Ms. Haffner - VMA Transfer - justwondering
[ In Reply To ..]If you have so many applications to process, then why are you taking the time to read and respond to posts on a message board? It sounds like many people have been offered jobs and have some questions, however you don't seem to have responded to any of them yet. I personally have been waiting four days for a response from you, and I have emailed and called you and left a message.
After reading the above unprofessional post to "Jen", I'm deleting your job offer and contract email from my account. Scam or no scam, I would not want to work for someone that unprofessional and who obviously has time-management issues.
me2 and I am the MT who suggested you are a scam . . . not "jen" - mt

Ms. Haffner - jcmt
[ In Reply To ..]I hope you don't take being called a scam too personally, but there are a lot of scams going around with MTstars and other employment sites. I believe everyone has a right for being concerned about their identity and information given out. I wish there were a way to prevent it, but unfortunately these employment sites do not require any kind of proof that employers or contractors are legit or not. Unfortunately, it is just by reading these posts that we know whether the job is real or not. Your company is not a known company and it is hard to find much about it on the Internet, so it can be concerning. Hopefully this job is real because I did send my information to you and you did respond back to me.
OIC!!! There is a whole other conversation going on down below. I assumed - mt
[ In Reply To ..]you were talking about my post to jen. Well, at any rate, with no response after four days, one starts to get a strange feeling about it . . .
VMR - ANON
[ In Reply To ..]Hmmm, I've been a recruiter for 7 years and 500 resumes is not a lot to go through, if you manage your time well, I get on the average over 250 resumes a day and go through them in a few hours, set up interviews, hire and get out paperwork.
I agree, sounds like this company needs a course in time management.
VMR-Transfer - Jen
[ In Reply To ..]I heard from several others, that after Ms. Haffner turns you down on a job, she refers you to a multi-level marketing website. I never heard of a transcription company or any employer doing this.
VMR - P
[ In Reply To ..]I thought Ms. Haffner would defend herself more in this forum concerning her company. If she and her company are really legit, why are there no more posts? Why are there no E-mails responding to the people who applied, but just asked for an explanation of the process and how her company works? Instead I was shut off with a complete "ignore" from her. This is so unprofessional. You can't do that to people. The applicants have a right to know. I'm so disillusioned and it's sad.
VMR Transfer - justwondering
[ In Reply To ..]I, too, contacted Ms. Haffner after she sent me a contract with a job offer. I emailed and called and left a message on a random voice mail system. My only questions were what hours/days was she looking to fill, and how many lines on average could I expect per day? I don't think those questions are unreasonable, however I never received a reply.
After reading these posts, I am very curious as to whether anyone actually started working for VMR and what their experience has been.
Haven't started yet - jcmt
[ In Reply To ..]She said she received my paperwork. She set me up with a personal email account, and said we should be getting set up at the end of the week. She said something about getting the new vets started. I am hoping to hear back from her soon. Crossing my fingers still...
VMR-Transfer - justwondering
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks jcmt - please keep us posted. I hope for your sake that this is legit.
I just don't understand the lack of communication. I can't accept a job I know nothing about - how many contracts could Ms. Haffner have sent out that she can't reply to simple questions from people she hopes to hire?
Received feedback - meadow548
[ In Reply To ..]I had quite a few questions for Mrs. Haffner. She responded back within 30 minutes. I have sent in my contract and am waiting to get started. I have received an email account. I haven't had a problem with contacting her.
VMR-Transfer - justwondering
[ In Reply To ..]Well you certainly seem to be in the minority. I have over 20 years experience as an MT and have had many animals my whole life so this was my dream job. I received a contract and job offer also but tried to email and left voice mail twice, but received no answer. I hope it works out for you as well.
Started job yet? - curious
[ In Reply To ..]Have you started the job yet? Furthermore, has anyone started working for VMR yet?
No, I am still waiting - jcmt
[ In Reply To ..]I did email her on Friday and she responded and said this is a new account and she is getting the DMVs trained.
jcmt - Curious
[ In Reply To ..]Let us know when you officially start your job with VMR.
jmct - Anything yet? - curious
[ In Reply To ..]Still waiting to start work?
Question - Please Help - Thank You
[ In Reply To ..]@ VMR – ANON
Recruiter:
You sound like an intelligent, helpful person. I am hoping you would be willing to answer a few questions regarding job hunting. It looks long, but reads quickly, and I do not think it will take much time out of your day. I realize you are only one recruiter and cannot speak for other recruiters, but a window into one can offer insight into others. I would really appreciate your assistance.
If you recruit for Medical Transcriptionists, please answer with that in mind, but even if you recruit for another industry, I think these questions would go across all fields and I would be grateful for any information you are willing to impart.
Example: You are looking to fill a nationwide, work-from-home Medical Transcriptionist position.
1. There are multiple locations to search when looking for applicants. Would you rate, in order, which of these you use to find applicants (1st place I look, 2nd place I look, 3rd place I look, last resort, never look)
A. Post a position-open ad on an MT-related message board and wait for resumes to be Emailed to me.
B. Review resumes on file from a previous open position.
C. Send out company-wide Email to current employees asking for referrals.
D. Send out Email to networking associates (temporary employment agencies, friends/family, other known recruiters, Twitter followers)
E. MTStars has a Resume Board as well as a new Jobs Wanted Board.
1. MTStars Resume Board
2. MTStars Jobs Wanted Board
F. Other Job Search/Resume sites (such as Monster).
G. Social networking (such as Facebook or Myspace).
H. Post a position-open ad on other on-line classified sites (such as Craig’s List).
I. Post a position-open ad on an on-line city/state newspaper, state employment (unemployment) department, or other city/state specific website.
J. Are there are other places you look to find applicants?
2. Is there a point where you simply stop looking at resumes? What is your stopping point? For example:
A. Only look at resumes received during the first 3 days after job post.
B. Only look at first 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, etc resumes.
C. Only look at resumes that have certain key words.
D. Only look at resumes until I find 5, 10, 15, 20 etc that meet the criteria, at which time I set up testing/interviews, and only go back to look at more resumes if no applicant is hired.
E. Other
3. After we send in resumes or fill out applications or test, we wait and wait for a reply, which sometimes never comes. Why do recruiters not at least send a “thanks for applying” or “sorry, we hired someone else” Email to all the people who applied?
4. If a telephone number is included in the position-open ad, do you feel an applicant’s call to inquire about specific questions not answered in the ad (such as minimum-maximum cpl, insurance premiums, testing results) is acceptable or annoying?
5. Any “inside” words of wisdom for getting hired in this economy? (I have been looking for an employee position for a year with no luck. I am sure there are many others in the same situation.)
Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to help us out.

VMR-Legit company? Prove it. - P
[ In Reply To ..]If that is the case, then please respond to the applicants' E-mails or phone calls. Many have tried to reach you trying to find out details about the job you are offering and your process. It shouldn't take this long to get back to people. If you can't handle doing this, you need to hire some extra help. I haven't sent my contract back in to you because you haven't responded to me. Please let us all on the forum know what's going on with your company. Has anyone started working for you yet?
VMR-Transfer-Pamela Haffner - P
[ In Reply To ..]I guess if you call me back or try to contact me by E-mail still about the job, that will show me you are a legit company and you are genuinely interested in having me work for your company. That way, I can find out more about your company before I sign your contract (which makes sense to me). If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you don't want to "fool with me" since I kinda get that feeling. "Good luck" is right.
LOL - maggie
[ In Reply To ..]I don't know whether to be jealous or relieved, I never got a reply and I have 18 years experience. LOL Good luck to all!
