'Predatory' company accused of scamming Washingtonians into $30,000 for online training courses
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing a South Carolina-based company of offering a predatory training program to scam Washington citizens into paying as much as $30,000 for online video courses.
Ferguson said in a lawsuit Prehired LLC told prospective clients, "We guarantee you land a $60k+ job offer (from a tech company YOU choose)." The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, called Prehired's marketing claims deceptive, proven to be a lie and illegal.
There is evidence of at least 39 Washingtonians in contract with Prehired, with the group owing the company upwards of $1 million, according to the Attorney General's Office. The exact number of citizens involved in the alleged scam is not known at the time.
“Washingtonians forked over tens of thousands of dollars in hard-earned money based on [Prehired CEO] Joshua Jordan’s lies,” Ferguson said. “I intend to make sure Jordan and his company do not prey on anyone else. I will fight to see his victims paid back and help get them out from under these illegal contracts.”
