Complaint:
With regards to the Bernard Haldane company. I was an executive in the hospitality industry and recently lost my job due to a merger. I never thought of myself as a "Case" until the 4th month of looking for work. I haven't looked for work for 20 years. I was always offered the next position from the next employer. I answered the ad in the paper from BH. I checked the company scams or rip offs on the internet and found this site which listed over 400 complaints.
I don't know if all these were legit but the simple fact that this guy, Joe Lopushinsky, said, "I'll be straight with you if you'll be straight with me, " and wouldn't tell me what the fees would be until the end of the second meeting, gave me enough suspicion to check them out. I felt very uncomfortable when I couldn't get my "Advisor" to tell me exactly what the service would cost.
I started reading some of the complaints and each story was verbatim what I experienced. "Senior Advisor, " Just open the door when you've completed the forms, " We don't accept just anybody, only 1 in 10 are accepted, " "the second meeting the next day 7:30 am.
I did call the cancel the next meeting and received a call from my "Advisor." He said, "Well, we are the biggest in the business. Don't you think that General Motors gets complaints? "
I spoke to a few freinds afterwards and found out that one of them had been fleeced for $5, 000.00 by Bernard Haldane but had been ashamed to admit it. Same deal, you can get more help from a government office.
You saved me a waste of time meeting and some money I'm sure.
Thank You!
