So I've been going extra hard on the job hunt for the past few months to no avail. To my surprise I get a call today from a company called Combined Insurance. I didnt even remember applying to them because Ive been looking for mostly EMT jobs (got my certification about a month and a half ago) and never applied to sell insurance. I chalked it up to my forgetfulness and proceeded with the application process. I cemented an interview on Wednesday at a Marriott hotel. First red flag. Why dont you have a local central office?
I did a quick google search on "combined insurance Scam" and got tons of hits. Here are few interesting ones
http://www.witn.com/sunrise/headlines/43532467.html - Insurance agent charged with fraud
http://www.ripoffreport.com/insuran...nce-c/combined-insurance-company-of-fz9ba.htm - talks about how unethical the company is
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/combined-insurance-c89062.html - a complaints message board urging people not to work there cause they are frauds
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/combined-insurance-c110116.html - same board urging people to not even buy from there.
So I made this thread for a couple of reasons.
- I want to urge my fellow NTers, if you get a job offer from them, or anything that seems to good to be true do your research. There is a sucker born ever minute.
- Should I be considerate and cancel my interview or should I waste their time as they were trying to waste mine?
- How the hell did they get my contact info and where can I get an EMT job in NYC?
Cliffs
-Got an interview for a spot I dont even remember applying for
-Found out its a scam and they are frauds
-take the L or send the NT goons? (jk)
