***MOD NOTE: HILARIOUS WSO SPAM FAIL***

I want to share a great opportunity and my experience with a program I have recently completed. I took a class to attain my license for the Series 7, through a 4 day preparation class and how I got a job through the program.

I took this class because I am interested in working as a Wall Street stock broker and i was always into trading. The instructor was very kind to tell me every thing I needed to know to ace the exams (It also didn't hurt that it was a 100% pass guarantee or you can retake the course for free until you pass). The instructor was also very helpful in assisting me with any questions I had about Wall Street or finance.

It was also very affordable compared to the big name companies test prep centers. (Have to be save money instead of spending lot more to get the same results)

The one thing that really attracted me was that this class is the only class that is sponsored. I was given a job offer, once I completed and excelled in its program.

I wanted to simply share this with you because it was a great learning experience and job opportunity for me in this hard times. If you have any question regarding my experience or about the Series 7 feel free to contact me.

Scrier funds... interesting... 40 "interns"???

Maybe they came in from this:

http://www.ziprecruiter.com/job/Private-Fund-Internships/5332cc8c/

No FINRA reg, shady marketing practices.

DON'T WALK, RUN.

Regardless, by making this post, you've exposed Scrier funds as a fake on resumes to a number of legitimate wall street employees and recruiters. Too bad you had to get greedy and screw everything up by spamming, Jason. Worse, with WSO's pagerank, everyone who googles NJPLI.org, Scrier Funds, or heck, even your name, is going to see this thread.

I hope you give these kids back the money you took from them after you promised them a wall street "internship".

Jesus, the Series 7 test prep he's pimping lets you put your Series 7 on layaway for two years. Classic:

"Yeah, ummm... I wanna work on Wall Street, but I can only afford $14 a month. What can you do for me?"

Jason, in case you're wondering, if you SPAM WSO, which you clearly have, you will pay the price.

C5 - An internal office suite with windows approximately 350 square feet. This suite is being offered at $380 per month base rent + $145 per month for utilities.

.A lot going on at the firm. Commercial paper fund. AC RED Center. Contact Scrier Funds @ (646) 504-7279 or visit our website: scrier.com

I gotta get in on this. I could go to the dentist, setup a time to paint my house, and stop by the funds' office without leaving the building. One stop shop.

There has to be something

There has to be something fraudulent going on with this whole organization. IliniProgrammer's link to Linked-in shows a constant flow of new "interns". What? Are people paying some fee to have the right to put this company on their resume or something? $500 for practice passing the Series 7 and 63? You'd have to be mentally disabled to need to pay $500 in test prep for these tests. The website itself is awful--they could have done a better job with Intuit websites (NOT spamming here). It's like the entire money making scheme is to take advantage of people with IQs under 100 who want to work on "Wall Street" as "stock brokers" (because we know it's 1985).
