darn, im the most stupid here on earth!!! can we still get our money back if we used credit card? is there a way? please tell me im so darn depressed!

First, I got an email from Espoirbridge asking to confirm email. Next,I got an email from a supposed recruiter Amanda Bale from Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc. After a few minutes,I got another email from Kriger offering training at a discounted price. I spoke to Amanda Bale she said I was the perfect candidate for the study except that the company needed CRA training which would be partly paid by the company.I asked her for the no of the training company and she gave me a no and asked me to speak to Angela or Julie.If a company is interested in you they provide the training. Also,when I asked her the location of the employment she said I'd be working from a home office. I spoke with Angela and she said that the discount price was 900 and I might have to pay 450 USD. All this info was suspicious and so I did the reverse look up on the address of the company,4370 La Jolla Village DriveSan Diego, 92122-1249; and it turned up 100 people, one of which was Bruce Kriger. I also did reverse lookup on the no of the company and guess what, it is a landline in Rancho Bernardo, California not Sandiego as the email claimed. So this whole thing is a scam. I looked up the better business bureau of San Diego and Clinqua is not registered. I was lucky enough not to pay a cent to these people and I hope that other people will run into this forum and not fall into their TRAP.

I will agree with all of the above comments. This is definitely a scam, which should be reported. About 10 months back I was also contacted by a so called recruiter who said that my qualifications match with most of the jobs they have, the only thing lacking was a certification in ICH-GCP Guidelines. The agency sent another email that based on my qualification I could get a partial scholarship for this online course. This person also said that once I am done with this 'so called CRA/CRC Professional Development program' I will be offered a job at some affiliated CRO.I decided to go ahead and it has been
nearly six months and I have not heard from this company. The institute I was referred for training was the 'Clinical Research Training Institute'.All my efforts to contact the recruiter both by phone and via email have gone invain. This is a big scam so be aware. These recruiters and these intitutes whether Krieger or the CRTI are affiliated and they are there to fool people,make money and the surprising thing is that they get away with these scams. Something has to be done to stop these people in making fools of gullable individuals desperate to get jobs.

if bruce threatens is continuing to threaten people, i suggest we alert the press...yes the press...if bruce was smart, he would address these issues, answer our questions and problems instead of just banning post.

everyone alert the press about your concern, we have  a right to know the truth

Yes! I also received an email from the above company with same matter.
They are the fraud people. They have robbed me for USD1600.00 through online course of certification of clinical research professional development. No job ever landed till today since I have completed the course in Aug.2008
No organization, no company ever recognize the Kriger, IBPA.
Be careful with these two names for any online material and enticement.
