Just take organic vitamins, get them at a good health food store ( like Whole Foods)also check the location

Shoulda checked here first before you let them steal your money.

WHERE ARE YOU AT DR.. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ????

I also sent my $199.00 and I got software disc, there is info but nothing donloads, so I have called and called with no call backs. I spoke to a Jamal, Don ... There was a form along with cd asking for deposit info for payroll and email address. So I sent a letter to address on form asking for someone to call me. I  was having trouble with cd.  The  letter came back addres not valid... I found ad also on career builder. I called career builder and reported the fraud,. Also called the Chicago Tribune.. I filed a complaint with Attorney General office, and local police.. I also have contacted an Attorney. It's  about the money . I'm a single parnet, I think it's sad that this is allowed... I hope I get some kind of justice.. I keep calling all numbers and leaving messages... I wont stop until somebody get these KIND OF PEOPLE.....

I was a little leary as this medical billing from home sounded to good to be true,, big alert to me was that they dont take cr cards or checks, just money orders!mmmmm! somethings fishy. i am very disappointed because i am/was all ready to start. and the mr cole dude was kinda short with me and smarty pants with me, like he was reading the pitch to me and i wasnt agreeing right away, so he sounded pissed off.

This is a scam. The ad has been placed with newspapers and other media all over the U.S. They want a down payment of $199

I work for a newspaper company in Wisconsin placing ads for clients. I just had a call from this man to place the same ad in our paper. He said his name was Ron Middleton and wanted me to place the ad in print and online and didn't even care about a price. Said to just go ahead and run it for a full week. He would not gave me his email or other information but the number to call (the 855 number). I found this site after I could not find his account information anywhere in our system. Lo and behold I found this site. Most definitely a scam. He won't be placing an ad with us, that's for sure.

I saw their Display at " the New England school of medicine " They were talking about the advantages
of pure applesauce as opposed to processed, with certain clinical herds added.

I was following up online doing research, and this was just kind of hidden.  I am SO glad that people were able to post their experiences before I shelled out a very precious $199 to this company/individual.  I was provided with an address of:  Homeworks, 4450 California Avenue, Ste K175, Bakersfield, CA, 93309.  The website is homebilling5000.com  The site itself is a joke and was the first red flag for me.  My 14 year old son could come up with a more legit looking website.  I want to research on how to get a warning/red flag indicator out to the better business bureau.  This ad showed up on indeed.com, and my local newspaper here in Johnstown, PA.

The ad was as follows:

Medical Records.  Excellent opportunity w/ busy local practice.  Strong computer skills required.  Billing background helpful. Attention to detail. $12-14/hr depending on experience. Contact Human Resources at 855-285-1025.

I spoke with Kevin Kohl (Cole, Kole)  He directed me to the website, he also advised me that if I sent in the $199 (enough to make any charges against him only a misdemeanor if caught) to him at the above address, I would get my software within 7 days.  I could begin billing immediately and would receive batches of claims in 50.  I could do them, send them in, and get more.  Pay was to be between $4-7/per claim.  I was adv to send a cashiers check, money order, or personal check.  For anyone even CONSIDERING doing this...right there is a red flag indicator as well.  If they aren't set up to take a credit card, chances are they aren't legit.  God forbid they want to be charged with credit card fraud.  Oh no, no!

I am studying to be a nurse, I just quit a full-time sales job (which I loathed) and I have to tell you, when you have a medical billing and coding background, something like this sounds pretty good when you need all the study time you can get and don't want the hassle of driving to and from work.  I loathe vultures.  This do***ebag did disclose that he was from Long Island (East Islip, NY).  So if anyone has the time and wants to start researching the weasel, it might be easy to track down his information and lodge a complaint with the local authorities.  His cellphone number alone...if you have a shady friend who works in the cellphone industry could find out who REALLY owns the number...I personally believe Kevin is an alias because the voicemail he left me said his name was "Don"  but same guy called back.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! You're better off working at Mickey D's

I know the company ( Medical Associates) to my Knowledge they have an great rating. I am wondering why
you have not posted your full name?

A rare group of fine people, with good intentions. I did notice that all the folks who complain
about this company do not seem to to have last names, HMMMMMMM.

Just like Jane said ( Rest an d take vitamin C) the old ways can notbe beat.

I just received my software but it is old from 2005 and just a big mess of nothing. I have talked to Kevin and I am suppose to call him and let him know I received it but just think I will let this go and let it be a lesson learned.

I am sorry to say that I sent the 199.00 for the software and I have just received it but it is just a big mess of nothing. I have talked to the Kevin dude 3 times, he seems really nice and I am to call him back letting him know that I have received my software and he will help me download it. But me and my son tried to download it tonight after making sure it was virus-free, and it is too old for my computer and he is the one that told me this was a scam and found this website for me and I am letting you guys know what I know. I would have thought if this was a scam, there would be no more contact with this man or his so-called company but he keeps returning my calls.  Why would a scandalous company keep contacting me after I have sent the money, are they going to want more money?? So sad, because I am so experienced in doing medical billing and I thought it would be a good job working from home.

OMG! I saw this same ad in our local Bucks County, PA paper this morning and  I can't believe that I not only called the number - I almost actually fell for this.  I know all the "red flag" signals too.  I've worked as a medical transcriptionist for over 20 years - and DID work at home for several local physicians and transcription companies that were totally, 100% legit.  They NEVER asked for money up front, and even provided me with the computer and software needed to log into their site - and back in the "old days" when your work came in over the phone line, the company installed a separate line in my house specifically for transcription.  I did this for many years when my kids were little and now am looking to get back into the transcription field.  Beware, this guy sounds good....real good....too good.

This number was listed in our Bucks County, PA paper asking for part-time medical transcriptionist.  Now that I see all the scam reports from all over the country, I am thinking it really is a scam.

Scam from Kevin Cole!

I mailed the $199. Kevin Cole even called me and confirmed! Still havent received the software yet! Hard lesson learned!

THIS GUY IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE HIS AD....HE SCAMMED MY NEWSPAPER

I seen this ad in the Newstribune in LaSalle, IL and I called the 855 number and this guy was talking about this software. Ive been looking for a legit workathome position but cannot find anything.   When I asked him information on a website, none of it was legit.  I called the newspaper and reported him.

Thank you for posting (everyone else too).  I was confused that they were advertising for a Michigan job but had a strange phone number, so looked it up just to see where it was.  Found this posting and glad I did.  I WILL NOT CALL.  Thanks for a headache saved.

Saw this job position in The Daily Record in Wooster, Ohio! I think i've seen it online before! Most likely a scam to be showing up in newspapers all over the US.

I called the number and there is an automated message that says if you saw the ad in the paper you called the right place.  it is a company that is an at home transcriptionist job...they supply the doctors, the tech support, etc but you have to buy their software program for $195.  DONT DO IT!!!!!

Hi all.  I too spotted this Ad in our local paper and googled the phone number after not finding it listed on whitepages.com and found you all.  Well, after reading what ya'll wrote, I called my local paper to alert them of the scam and they had spotted it too, and have removed it from the listings as of tomorrow's print.  

Also, that website being full of spelling mistakes is done on purpose by the scammers.  Especially when you see spelling mistakes in those scam emails they send out.  Same thing.  They do that to prevent search engines virus scans from detecting them.  And probably lots of other techy reasons that I have no clue about. LOL

Great call, guys!!

I seen this ad TWC in Temple Tx. I called the number  left a message a gentleman by the name of MR.Kohl called back and told me I could process claims at home for $7 a claim but I need to pay for the software 199.00. I thank God for giving me wisdom to kno a scam when One.

I seem this ad also and left a message to get some more info. Spoke with a man name Kevin Kohl he told me I would have to pay for the software to start medical claims. I'm happy I seen all of you're response and I believe it's a scam! Praise God for giving me wisdom so that I wouldn't have lost my 199.00.

No real law enforcement would ask this!  Becareful this is probably a scam.  You should never put your name, mailing address and telephone number on a site like this.  Do you notice even this site doesn't ask that.

EVERYONE be careful.  I spoke with this man and he gave me corporates office number and it was him on the answering machine there too!

I also checked out the supposable web-site....spelling mistakes all over!  This guy should at least try a little harder if he wants to make money!

This add apeared in the local Byron paper in MInnesota....

So did you find out is this a true scam??
