Training Fees Scam
The interview was at an office complex that rents out small rooms to businesses. The interview was instead done by an Anthony Nero. Mr. Nero looked at my resume, asked me a couple questions about my background, and said I was hired. He then explained that the $150 was a deposit, and the training actually cost $990. He stated that the training included fire emergency training, getting a security guard licensce, health emergency training, and active shooter emergency training. Excited, and desparate for a job knowing that I was being laid off from my current job and having heard back from no other potential offers, I paid the down payment but explained to him that I could not give the rest of the money at this moment. He then tried to strike a deal and have me pay another $335. I told him I could possibly get it by the end of the week. Mr. Nero then had me sign and initial a document and took a photo of my licensce with a copy of the paperwork. He then gave me his personal cellphone number at 516-886-2878. I then left the office building.
The next day after talking it over with my father, I began to suspect that this was a scam. I called Mr Nero at his phone number while I was at my current job and asked him about who was providing the training, for which he initially confused me with another person who he claimed I would get the email later. I called him back about it, and once he realized who I was he got agitated, stated that they were on the paperwork I signed. Since I did not have the document with me at work, I waited until I got home to review the document.
After reviewing the document, I noticed this was for an Advanced Premier Consulting Services located at the office the interview was conducted at. The document also did not mention what companies were providing the training for those licensces. The document stated that they were only a third party recruiting company for training schools and they could not guarantee employment.
The following day I called Vigilante Solutions at the given number as well as the other number on their website, 212-470-6655 and got no response. I then called Mr. Nero again and asked him about the two different businesses. He said that this was a mix up with the recruiter he hired for the job opening and he did not know. I then asked him about the companies providing the training again, only for him to get agitated and stated while getting agitated again that it was on the second page of the document I signed. I stated that unless he was referring to a different document I did not get it was not on there, at which point he got vocally angry and aggressive before hanging up. I tried calling him back, but he stated he was on the Long Island Expressway and that he would call me back once he got to his destination.

Training Fees Scam
I went to the job interview on Saturday 11/30/2024 at 1pm located at 39 West 29th Street, 6th Floor, New York, NY and met with a man called Santino Nero. At the building, the company name listed in the directory is Manhattan House Management, Inc. and not APC Services. When I asked Mr. Nero at what location I’d be working at he didn’t give me a straight answer. All he said was that he works with various buildings in Midtown like the Time Warner building, etc. and that it would be in Midtown. Then he told me that on top of the CPR certification I also needed to get all of these other licenses like Fire Safety and he named various others and that the total cost would be $949. $150 would be the deposit and I had to bring him $799. The training would all be virtual, but I'd have to come in person to do the CPR training.
Mr. Nero had me fill out a contractual agreement from APC (Advanced Premier Consulting Services Inc) that both he and I signed stating that I was paying for training which was non-refundable and that there was no guarantee of employment as it was my responsibility to pass any pre-screenings and complete the training. He mentioned I’d need to get a background check and drug test. He asked for my resume and my ID. I brought my NY State ID. He just wrote my home address and DOB on the contractual agreement. I didn't see him make a copy of anything unless he took a picture with his cell phone, but I did not notice that. He gave the same form we filled out right back to me which I thought was odd. We then discussed my work experience and shortly after he told me I had been hired and would get this process started, so I paid him the $150. He asked when I would have the remaining balance of $799 and I told him sometime next week. He told me to call or text him at (516) 886-2878 when I was ready to pay the rest. I then left the office and shortly after realized I had been scammed as I found out that a company will pay for any certifications or licenses. You don't pay for this out of pocket and some of the certifications that were mentioned are free or cost much less.
To Whom It May Concern,
We are writing to formally address and refute the false and misleading statements being made against our company. The individual in question knowingly entered into an enrollment agreement with full transparency regarding our services, requirements, and associated costs.
Prior to signing, this individual was fully informed of the necessary certifications and licenses required for placement within our network of employers. They acknowledged and agreed to obtain these qualifications but later chose not to complete the process. Despite this, they have since made baseless accusations, attempting to frame our company as a “scam” without merit.
It is important to clarify the following facts:
1. Full Disclosure: The individual was made fully aware of all requirements before signing the agreement. Our role and responsibilities were clearly outlined, including the need for specific training and certifications.
2. Third-Party Training Costs: Any fees associated with training were charged by an independent third-party training provider, not our company. These fees are non-refundable, a policy that was explicitly communicated to the individual upon enrollment.
3. Failure to Complete the Process: The individual did not fulfill their obligations under the agreement. They neither obtained the required certifications nor followed through with the necessary steps for job placement, making their claim of being “scammed” completely unfounded.
4. Misleading and Damaging Statements: The statements being made are not based on facts but rather personal opinions designed to harm our company’s reputation. The claim that they could have obtained training for free elsewhere is irrelevant, as they voluntarily chose our process and agreed to the associated terms.
Given that these accusations are misleading, unfounded, and potentially defamatory, we formally request that all references to our company—including our name, email, address, phone number, and employees’ names—be removed immediately from the report in question.
Our company operates with integrity and professionalism, and we take our reputation seriously. We will not tolerate false statements that misrepresent our business or mislead the public. If these defamatory claims are not retracted, we will explore all necessary legal actions to protect our company’s standing.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
