This business represents itself as being able to easily change your career and boost your compensation by something like $50K. All you need to do is cough up $5,000 ... up front. Mind you, there are no guarantees on their representations. And if they fail to deliver, it must be because you just aren't good enough for the job. They offer no references and no means to verify their credibility. But Larry gives a great sales presentation.

Save your hard earned money. And, good luck in your employment search.

This is likely a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a job, grant, grant paperwork, business plan, loan, scammed-money refund, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. If you give them the WU Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) for the wire, they can pick up the money from anywhere in the world.

Kind of smelled a rat while Larry was in the middle of his sales pitch.  He told me that he has been at the same location for five years and he just re-newed the lease with an option to re-new after five more years.  I thought that was odd to mention the meeting.  That was my first red falg.  Then he got to the point where he told me I had to pay %5,775.00 up front.  Jen, the secretary, told me when she called me the first time that I will not have to pay anything.  They get thier fee from the employer.  Well, on my way out I asked the secratery of the neighboring company about how long T.O.P. has been at this location?  She said about one year.  I hope Latty burn in hell.  The last thing I need now is to borrow more money while I am un-emplyed.

I got the same sales pitch from Larry and Jen told me the same thing about no fee the employer pays the fee. There is a lot of websites connected to Larry Spradling and Dallastx-jobs.com but when you research them they were all created in or around April to July 2011. Larry told me the same thing been there at that location for 5 years and was renewing lease for another 5 years. And that he bought the business 18 years ago. I found his story about himself to be rehearsed so red flags were up before he ask me to put over $6000.00 on my credit card. Got home started digging on the internet for TOP or Dallastx-jobs as company names registered in TX and have not been able to locate any DBA or company listing with the state or county yet.

Hey Guys - This is a note to all.  

I had the pleasure of visiting the TOP offices this morning.  My appt was setup through a call from Jen, but my presentation guy was not Larry, but "Jim Stewart, Vice President of Client Service" (whatever the heck that means).  Lots of BIG RED Flags all over the place, especially how he kept telling me how impressive my resume was.  It may be okay but let's not overdue the BS.  Anyway, it was the same presentation and pitch, then the mention of the fee.  I was quoted the same price of $5,700.  And I've done lots of my own searching about the company, etc, but cannot find anything on the internet.  I am glad, however, that I found your comments.  Validates all of my thoughts and how these types of companies are misleading and taking advantage of the unemployed.  They are true scumbags that prey on the desperate.  Very sad.
