OMG, another scam job post on the other site. Management - gets them off pretty quick, but SM


Posted: May 24, 2014

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.

If you are that naive to believe just because someone - sm

posts a yahoo email it is a scam then I feel sorry for you. Quite naive.

email address - sm

I have to say, using a yahoo, google, hotmail, etc. email address looks pretty unprofessional in general imo. Businesses look a lot more legit and professional to me if they have an ISP email address or one that is a domain name related to their business rather than some free one.

I wouldn't apply to a company using Yahoo either. - If they cannot pay for a ligit

Address how can I know if they'll pay me? If it's a contractor looking for help with overflow, then I can understand, but a company advertising with yahoo or any other free email is suspect.

I looked up the address - CCB

It is an apartment/condo complex.

But then again, Phoenix Medcom's address is someone's house.

Guess that's the risk you take when applying - to small MTSOs, but count me out.

Scam Ads

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? ...

Transform Scam?
Sep 28, 2010

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 ...

Why Is AHDI A Scam, You Ask?
Aug 28, 2012

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! ...

New Pay Scam Vs Old Pay Plan
May 31, 2015

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 ...

Sciance Transcription is a company sending most work to India, doesn't pay.

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 ...
