Since 2015, the Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas has received complaints and customer reviews indicating a pattern.
Complainants stated they pay approximately $100 to become certified forklift operators and are often promised this will lead to a job. After attending a video session for training and taking a test, participants are given a card purporting to confirm their certification as a forklift operator. However, complainants to the BBB later learn this certification is not legitimate, despite claims, and when they inquire about job opportunities to the business, they do not receive a response and are not able to receive refunds.
