    Any company that promises people a ceretain mount of money for just passing a test is a stupid company. I seen people been hired who have said they are experts at something becuase they took a class in that subject. First thing be very wary of these people if they do not have proof that they applied the knowledge that they acquired.
    Back to this particular company. This company feed on the dreams these peole and suckered them out of their money. Yes they should have been wary but this guy needs to be brought up on criminal charges.
