The itsxchange or ITSolutions Xchange Scam

So I would like to share an experience I had with the company ITSolutions Xchange. I just graduated from college and I was applying for jobs. I applied for a job with this company. I got a call from Steve Winard asking me to come in for an "interview' and he would like to discuss opportunities for me at their consulting company.

Once I went in, he looked at my resume and he started explain to me that to be in the IT security field I needed CCNA and other certifications. He told me unless I get these I would not be able to find a job. So he told my about their sister company TCS which provided training for this. He told me this was not his field so he didnt know much about it. He "asked" his collegue to send him the details. So 3 different courses, $12000 all together. He knew every detail about how sallie mae took payments and how much interest they charged.

Clearly this was all planned. Thats what they do, call people to talk about job opportunities and sell them courses. A google bought me to this forum link which discusses people being ripped off.

My aim with this post is to prevent people from falling for this. Hope this turns up on google and people read this before going in for an "interview".
