Review: Select Choice NY is a security placement agency located at [redacted], ###-###-####.

I found Select Choice in the daily AM New York. It advertised itself as an employment service placing applicants in “Front Desk” positions for a fee of $75. I was invited to come into their offices. I met with [redacted] who at the onset told me that the $75 was only the fee for registration and that before I could qualify as an applicant for a front desk job, I needed to become a licensed security officer. This would require me to take and pass a three day security course at the cost of $225. I would then have to be fingerprinted at a cost of $99.70 and then submit a security licensing application to New York State at a cost of $60. All fees were non-refundable. I would then be assigned a NYS security ID number and an official security license ID card would follow in the mail shortly thereafter. It was not necessary to wait to receive the ID card because receiving an ID number was all that was needed to begin working.

I have been unemployed for over four years. I could ill afford to invest $460 in a job placement service without the assurance that I would be offered a job as the result of this investment.

[redacted] assured me that this would be money well spent. I would be offered a job as a front desk lobby attendant at a law firm, corporate office, hospital or nursing home. Not only that, if I was placed in a job I did not like, they would find another job for me more to my liking and would continue to do so until I was placed in a job at which I wanted to stay. The salary would be between $18-$24 per hour. She said Select Choice has “plenty of jobs”.

I registered with Select Choice on March **, 2015 and as of June *, 2015, they have not provided me with a viable source for employment and it has become evident that they have no intention of doing so. Select Choice has misrepresented and lied about every aspect of their service.

I cite just two examples: I was referred by Select Choice to Esteem Patrol. Esteem Patrol is another placement agency, not an actual job and it is located in the basement of a tenement building on [redacted] in [redacted]. Upon my arrival, “[redacted]” had no idea who I was or why I had come there. I explained I was from Select Choice and she gave me an application to complete, which I did. She said I would receive a call from her in approximately one week to schedule an interview. When I did not receive a call from [redacted], I called her. She said it would be another two weeks before interviews were scheduled. At the end of those two weeks, I called [redacted] who then informed me she had no openings. On another occasion, Select Choice directed me to see a “[redacted]”, again, at another agency, not job, located in a storefront on [redacted] and [redacted] in [redacted]. My appointment was set for 10:30 am on a Friday. I arrived at 10:15 and encountered other Select Choice applicants exiting [redacted]’s office. They told me, “you better hurry up” because [redacted] was leaving for a meeting at 11:00. They also informed me that the jobs he offered were paying only $10 per hour. Nevertheless, I indeed hurried into [redacted]’s office and was presented with an application by the receptionist who apologized for [redacted]’s last minute unavailability. She said I should return on Monday. As I completed the application, I overheard another applicant being told the same thing. I did not return.

Of those on the staff at Select Choice, I dealt with [redacted] and [redacted].

I request that the fees paid be reimbursed to me. I had absolutely no reason to become a licensed security officer without the outcome resulting in a job through Select Choice, as promised.Desired Settlement: I request that the fees paid be reimbursed to me. I had absolutely no reason to become a licensed security officer without the outcome resulting in a job through Select Choice, as promised.

Review: I called to ask for my refund didn't give me any information about where my 100$ go also noone is picking up phones no one has contacted me for anything I called many times for the person who signed me .I want my money back ..Desired Settlement: 100$
