My dentist called today and says his daughter is getting information about TransAm.  I know there was a company a few years ago by this name that was a scam.  She has no transcription experience at all, and they are saying they can train her and get her a job.  Anyone hear of this company lately.

TransAm

Do a BBB search...  Unfortunately it's not good.  Sorry to hear you have been scammed by them. 


Transam
I don't know any new info, but I would stay away from it. You gotta figure, once a scam always a scam.
Transam Associates??
I think Career Speed might be the same company as Transam...........for sure, they have the same exact curious transcribing sample
Ever hear of TransAm?

I am just starting out in the MT field and am thinking of working for this company - TransAm.  Their website is transamassociates.com


Has anyone heard of them or have any feedback?


Thanks in advance


Transam still charge for errors?
Does Transam still charge MTs for errors?  They use to. 
Transam is not a good company...

Read the archives.  They have been reported for not paying and falsehoods.  You may want to check them out deep and hard before stepping into that mess.


You betcha I have heard of TransAm
It is known as TranSCAM in the industry. I am an old MT from the sixties (will retire in two more years, yay!) and I have comforted more weeping women who have lot money to this scam. If you believe TranSCAM has anything to offer, there is a nice bridge up north of here in San Francisco that I will sell you for fifty bucks. Seriously, my friend, you need a good, decent education. Even with that, I would advise anyone to consider another career. I was lucky to be an MT in its golden age. I now make 50% less than I did in the 90s and I am quite good at what I do. I predict that within five years, the MT industry as we know it will be dead--or all offshored. Good luck to you. If you are determined to become an MT, you need a decent school. I recommend either Andrews or M-TEC. Whatever you do, please, please, please, avoid TranSCAM. These people are parasites.
Transam associates - Bizarre incidence
I received an offer from Transam associates and tested with their sample dictation (I thought it was weird because I could not use my foot pedal but write what I heard on paper and type it down). Before realizing my mistake, I accidentally pasted my confidentiality email footer and sent it. My clipboard messed up and I pasted the wrong thing (scatterbrained I know). A few minutes later I receive an email that I did great on the test and it was a true representation of my work. What in the world? Is this just an automated response to everyone. Are they a scam?
