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.

OMG, Hi everyone first I would like to say thank you sooo much for all your posts. I recently started getting emails from a so called "recruiter" who states she saw my email via web. Then started emailing me and stating how interested they are in hiring me. Thankfully I caught them early, and suspected something weird was going on.  This person whom I had sent my resume just the other day had asked for an "updated" resume. That did it for me. I looked up "Cereprotec" Co. and found this site! Thanks for all your honesty guys and chicas!   P.S. don't lose hope cause of these creeps!yours CALI GIRL

Thre's more concerning Cereprotec,the location is in Chigago, and the regional codefor the phone number is from Ottawa.Highly unprofessional to ask somone to contact you urgent and then just not replying to your messages.Just look on the bright side folks, we were lucky! Would anyone of you actually work for an employer who doesn't show any respect?

It's very clear that EspoirBridge is a SCAM.  The scam starts with a phony job posting for a clinical research position.  Once the scam artists receive your resume, you are then immediately being solicited to sign up for an incredibly expensive "training and certification program" in clinical research (with the implication that a well-paid job is waiting for you).  This so-called certification program is not recognized anywhere within the clinical research industry and is completely worthless.  

The KRC International website claims to have US business offices in many states, including in Seattle, WA.  In the US, in order for any corporate entity to do business in a state, each state requires a registration process, and such registration information is a matter of public record.  The State of Washington is no exception in that regard.  Neither Krieger International, nor Kriger Research Center Inc., nor KRC Inc. have any sort of registration with the State of Washington.

Furthermore, EspoirBridge, Kriger and Cereprotec websites have all been registered in less than two years by the same administrator. In other words, the so-called HR recruiter, the so-called professional certification provider, and the so-called biotech company where research is taking place and where your "future job" is waiting for you, are all concoctions from the same scam artists' imagination.  

The worst part of these scams, aside from costing job seekers potentially thousands of dollars they can ill-afford to spend, is wasting job seekers' time while preying on their desire for a well-paying job and vulnerable emotional state.

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!
