All State Secureaforce

Review: I had paid for a Security license renewal and had signed a contract stating that the money I paid was for an 8hr security renewal. The class has been canceled repeatedly without notice. When I contacted them for a refund for the class that I was never given I was denied. They have shown no intentions of actually giving me the class and have been giving me the run around since I paid for the class.Desired Settlement: I only desire a full cash refund of the money I paid to Allstate Secureaforce Consultants.

Review: I have been scammed out of $500 by a fake security company called, AllState SecureAForce, and they have my social security number which can lead to future identity thief issues. I learned about a job opportunity with AllState SecureAForce on [redacted], where they advertised they were seeking workers for employment, no experience in security required, and would start potential employers off at $16 to $22 an hour. I submitted my resume to them, on Friday, May **, 2013, and on Saturday, June *, 2013 I was called at around 12:48 pm, by a lady who goes by [redacted] for an interview. [redacted] called me saying AllState SecureAForce does security at Madison Square Garden, the Empire State building, and etc, and that their interested seeing me for a interview. She then told me I would need to bring 2 forms of Id, 2 hard copies of my resume, and a $100 deposit towards my background check. I went to the location with all that she asked for, and my first initial thought of the building their located in was, "for a company who's guards the Empire State building, Madison Square Garden, and etc, this looks a little shabby". I still proceeded and went to suite # 301 where their located, for my interview. [redacted] had me fill out an application, and then I was interviewed by a man called [redacted]. His full name is [redacted] and he also goes by [redacted] as well. He conducted the interview like any ordinary manager/boss would interview a potential employer, then told me he liked me and would like to move forward with me. He asked $100 in cash towards the background check and urine testing. Then a little after he asked for me to give him $600 towards my NY security guard license. I told him that's a little too steep and was about to change my mind, and leave, but he reassured me I would more than make up the money working for him. I gave him $400 in cash and told him I would have the rest to give him the following week. So in all, he has $500 from me.Desired Settlement: I was ripped off of $500 by this fake security company called AllState SecureAForce. I realized it was a phony company the following day after I called Madison Square Garden's security/lost & found number and the lady I spoke to said she doesn't work for that company and never heard of it, after I asked her if she did. She stated to me the security guards at Madison Square Garden is under a union, not a security company. Then I googled AllState SecureAForce and saw that it's a fraudulent company
