This company is advertising in the employment section of Craig's List for positions as an undercover store detective. The advertisement indicates no experience is necessary with the potential to earn up to $17.00 per hour working as an undercover loss prevention agent to prevent shoplifters and other theft. Those who respond to the ad believe they will obtain employment with various department and drug stores. However they are advised by phone that they must pay an advance fee of $300.00 to qualify for training and certification. ~~The BBB urges job seekers caution! Typically these types of companies do not hire anyone directly and their advertisement fails to disclose that there are hidden requirements such as fees for certification which may be unnecessary. These companies usually charge advance fees for services which contain no refund policies. Fees are typically imposed as a condition of employment along with false promises that most or all of the fees ultimately will be refunded. Consider whether you need additional training or education to get the job you want. It's possible that the skills you'll need can be learned "on the job." Look at employment ads for positions that you're interested in and call the employer to learn what kind of experience is important for those positions. Additionally licensing may be required for the investigative and security services offered through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). You can contact the BSIS by calling (916) 322-4000 or for more information by visiting their website at www.dca.ca.gov/bsis.
