hi

I came across NCTS VA job opportunities and was concerned on how reputable it is since I couldn't find any information or figure this company out. I found a post here which was very good, but nothing specific. It was odd on how many typographical errors the site has and found it odd not listing any address, phone numbers or in depth information about the company. After browsing their site, I found no help under Terms and Conditions, but did find the top SITETERMS button interesting. The Siteterm button takes you to a long terms info scroll. I took the time to read the huge amount of information there and found it alarming on how much they focus on not taking legal responsibilities for anything and everything you might encounter with 3rd parties through them. This included getting scammed, your pc getting infected with viruses and spyware, inaccurate income information, etc. But, the amount of things they listed for not being legally responsible was incredibly big. They did have several sections where made it clear that the "agent" would be responsible for the 12.95 fee and legal action would be taken to those who disputed charge or canceled checks.
Anyhow, after reading through it all I found NCTS doesn't hire you at all. There are simply just a job listing site and you pay the fee as membership to gain access to the job postings they have available. And even then, they do not guarantee the accuracy or legitimacy of the jobs and the companies who post them. Below is a copy and paste of two interesting paragraphs from that information scroll.

"position described on the home page and the sign up page are description of other work at home jobs listed within the site. NCTS PRO dose not hire employees and dose not offer the job listed on our home page or the sign up page of our site.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF USE FOR OUR SITE AND AGREE TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THESE AGREEMENTS. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY AND THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED OUR COMPANY AND OUR SERVICE, EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN MEMBERSHIP ANDARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OR THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT."

I hope this helps everyone that was curious about NTCS and stays clear from them.

You're very welcome

Interesting - did you try to contact them for more info?
I'm just trying to figure out if it's an actual scam, or just a poorly put together site...any thoughts?

Hi Tess

They have a contact form type system, where you fill in your name, e-mail, address, city, state, zip and choose one of the following..

- Please contact me ASAP I have a question
- I need help with my account
- Would like more information before applying

With applying spelled incorrectly, lol

But, after reading the lengthly site terms and the suspicious legalities listed, I prompted not to even bother wasting my time.
It was obvious to me that you pay them 12.95 to gain access to their job listings. And even then, according to the site terms, there is no guarantee about the job postings legitimacy or your safety.
You can view the SITETERMS button section for the scrolling text on their site. I only pasted two paragraphs from there, but there is a lot more you can see there that might help.

OK thanks so much for the info, it sounds iffy, and certainly isn't a site I'd utilize or suggest but can't be sure it's a scam...

Hi
I just realized we had an entire conversation about this site a few weeks ago.
Click here to read (it's quite long!)

I read another thread in here about www.nctspro.com and it occurred to me that it is possible to check who actually owns a domain which may give you a clue or two about how legitimate a company is i.e. if the domain registered by someone in Romania best to stay away.

If you go to http://www.who.is and type in the domain name it can tell you who is the registered owner of the site as well as their contact details, when it was last registered and when it is next up for registration etc.

A handy tool to know and use on occassion.

I've noticed quite a few searches for 'NCTS Scam' bringing people to this thread - has anyone else here on the forums had any interaction with this website?

(It still looks the *same* as it did when we started this conversation...)
