I was looking for a job and saw an ad on the internet for receptionist/security Officers and a telephone number to contact. I called the number and was scheduled an interview with what I thought was an employer. During the interview I was told that I need to take 3 training courses and that I need $80 to start. I was told that the day after I was finished with the training I would get a job as a security officer. I was given a form to sign, after which I was told that the entire amount was $438 and I could pay it in three arts. By this time I had already paid and signed that $100 was non refundable so I decided that I may as well continue, since I aready lost $100. So I did the three course, only to find out that Always Vigilant had no jobs, but were just assisting with what they referred to with job placement, I needed to apply for a security Guard licence, which cost me another $141, a $25 fee to write the City Fire Guard exam and pay the "job placement Officer" another $100 to get placed. After all of this I am still unemployed. Do not give your hard earneed monet to these people. Its a scam.

I'd like to thank the website forum and the ppl who took the time to voice their opinion on this security scam company. The comments here solidifies everything I was weary about w/ this "security firm" which is named "Security Associates", & Mr. Columbo. I didn't want to go through all the red tape (scam procedures) w/ this firm which is located E. 42nd Street & 5th Ave (right next to Bank of Amer). The man said to bring $100 to certify myself as a security guard. For some reason I knew that they were going to ask for more eventually. Good thing I have a cousin who works for a security firm & his boss (the 22 yr GM) never heard of "Security Associates". To conclude this comment, I will not attend to my 10AM meeting (thanks to Anita1), & everyone else who gave input in this forum. I'm sorry you all had to go through the scam. Best of luck to all in your future endeavors.
