B&B Security Group Scam Review

They operate in New Jersey now - They Cannot Stop Me

2014-04-24T20:13:00.004-07:00

Remember these logos? (They probably have many more)

What about their Website and Facebook pages?

AND

Well they have managed to create a new Facebook page, very unsuccessful! (Please Watch the 2012 Video I have under categories to witness the Fox News watching them be Arrested!!!)

Apparently, they have also made a facebook page for Allianz Security Protection. They have also have taken down or authorities have taken down their website (www.asp-nyc.com) but have managed to create a weebly.com webpage which was also unsuccessful. Their link to their website no longer works but this website is still active. Check it out and tell me how many red flags you come up with. I came up with five.

Allianz Website (no longer functional):

Allianz Website Via Weebly.com:

Allianz Facebook Page:

Even though they were briefly called 1st Security Protection, they have now moved to New Jersey to continue their schemes! They were sued and fined in New York (some jailed) but now they have moved to New Jersey to continue their evil deeds! Please be careful!

They have also tried to stop me by erasing all my pictures from this blog, but luckily I had them all backed up on my drives. They will not stop me from helping other people not make the same mistake I did in getting scammed! Please, if you have pictures send them to me or post them on the blog tab. Thank you!

Recognize ASP-NYC. What about 1stSP ? Yup! You got it....

2013-12-18T15:21:00.000-08:00

Well, it doesn't get old. Scams continue. Here is what the next group of scammers are called: First Security Preparation, http://firstsecurityprep.com/ , but what you should know is in the best website when it comes to scams. This website is Ripoff Report (i.e. http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/1st-security-preparation-and-placement-inc/new-york-new-york-10018/1st-security-preparation-and-placement-inc-they-just-got-me-for-a-70-reg-fee-after-i-fo-600106)

Please do read this article because what you will find is the same story with all. Luring people down to their office with a small fee then a large fee. The large fee is typically right after they have sold you into a package for security guard training. You will also find all of these companies have been houses in the same 250 W address in New York, New York. It is time for piece of mind

Please be careful! These scammers will simply not stop. Report it to your Attorney General. Please I urge you do voice your concern as it is the only way it will slow and eventually end these scammers!

End of Month

2013-07-27T07:55:00.001-07:00

It is the end of the month and people are looking for additional income. It is important to remember to be aware of scammers as they are always lurking honest hard working people like vultures looking for left overs.

What everyone should do is apply through resourceful websites like usajobs.gov and other .gov websites. These websites are government own websites and will not solicit or scam you. Always consult with others for a second opinion if applying at other places.

Remember it is the end of the month and people want your money and so do not care about you. Stay alert and safe. Please leave comments or questions below in our comment section below. Please share this priceless information with others as you may be helping someone avoid a scam!

Scams continued...

2013-07-15T10:53:00.001-07:00

And the SCAMs continue. People are being robbed point blank range. The NY District attorneys have done a great job in shutting them down. However, there seems to be no law regarding the reopening of a new business name which allow these scammers to continue their practice. Bb security group now has changed names earlier this year. Hopefully you have seen the video where they caught Mr. Cook. I have revealed their real names in a previous post as well as the video showing them being interviewed by a local news station (You can find video on 2012 Post - it is the only post for that year - it shows them being arrested) Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious. We need to safeguard ourselves from these predators! And hopefully these scams will seize to happen. Please help us by sharing your experiences with this evil group of master deception con artists by commenting on this blog. Your input is extremely welcomed as it will help others as it has helped you. Thank you for visiting...

Tip of the month.

2013-07-03T16:20:00.001-07:00

Hey there everyone how are you all. I know I haven't posted a blog for a month now but a lot has been going on. I truly apologize for this. I will do my best to be more actively engaged in helping people not getting scammed by BB Security Group.

Recently I have graduated college with a bachelor degree. Everyone wants an opportunity and I believe we all deserve one. College has certainly opened my eyes further; nonetheless, it is not the ultimate protection against scammers.

Remember I was scammed by this company BB Security group while I was going to college because I needed a job. I thought I knew when a scam was on the horizon. Apparently I was wrong, which is why I was scammed by this company.

So the tip of the day: Always be alert. Never believe everything they're telling you. Any money up front over the phone is definitely a red flag. Another red flag is when they do not reveal their full name. A triple option strategy is used by scammers and is one of many which people fail to realize during a "interview". Scammers typically sound like a salesman. A salesman will always give you options which end up in some sort of transaction. These scammers obviously will not inflict any pressure because they do not have to. If you are there it is because you looked for them, therefore, once you pick from the options they are presenting to you, psychologically, you feel there helping you when in reality they are scamming you.

Hopefully this was helpful. Be sure to leave me a comment if you have questions or if you think you can add information that will be helpful to all. Thank you for visiting.

ASP-NYC

2013-06-03T21:02:00.001-07:00

These people use third party sources to reach an audience. Here is what their postings look like:

But remember www.careerbuilder.com, www.luckydogjobs.com, www.indeed.com, www.monster.com and many others that are not monitored by the government are usually not trust worthy!

Remember to sign up to www.usajobs.gov as you will be able to see official announces for jobs within government agencies.

BB Security Group LLC - Now Officially known as ASP-NYC

2013-06-03T20:46:00.000-07:00

What is ASP-NYC? (www.asp-nyc.com)

This is a make believe company that continues to hunt down vulnerable people like you and I trying to look for a job and be a normal citizen.

ASP stands for Adequate Security Preparation. NYC for New York City.

Already I can tell you a few red flags with this website: As BB Security Group LLC and Allianz Security Protection were both not on the BBB (Better Business bureau) ASP-NYC is also NOT in the BBB. Another red flag is that they do not have Facebook or Twitter or any social Media attached to its main screen. Red flag number three is the "Hi there" on their home page and that is not a professional website. A professional website would not want to be too friendly on its home page. They have one testimonial.

I will be posting pictures here of the INSIDE of their reality that you cannot see on their "professional" website. Here is what they want you to think about their place (Taken from their website at www.asp-nyc.com - I apologize for it being blurry)

These three pictures are the inside of the location. By the way they are still located at the same address!!
BB Security Group LLC's Location: 250 W 49th St, New York, NY 10019, USA

Hopefully this information has helped and increased your knowledge about these conniving people!

BB Security Group LLC AKA Allianz Security Protection AKA Imperial Security and Now AKA Asp-NYC

2012-12-02T17:09:00.000-08:00

These scammers were caught and arrested!! I must say the Manhattan DA did a great job. They had contacted me early 2012 and I was never told if anything resulted from this situation. Obviously, my contribution and the few on this blog and their story were of great help which allowed for the arrest of these conniving men.

However, we must continue to join our efforts and continue to stop them because apparently they are out on bail and doing it again!

For now that some justice has been served!

I wanted to share this link given to me by another person that was recently scammed. You should watch the video on here and then read the article by clicking this link: http://www.manhattanda.org/press-release/district-attorney-vance-announces-indictment-operators-sham-security-guard-training-sc

Something that is not mentioned is the fact that they have recently changed their name to ASP- NYC and their new scamming website is www.asp-nyc.com.

Continue to spread the word that BB Security Group AKA Allianz Security Protection and now ASP-NYC are all the same conniving people and are continuing to scam everyone they could in the Tri-State area.

Thankfully, Rosemond Bottex AKA Mr. Cook was arrested in late 2012 and charged for Scheme to defraud and Grand Larceny; Jerry Owens AKA Mr. Madison was also charged for Scheme to defraud and surprisingly was former corrections officer. These two men along with a few others cheated over 500 victims of $400- $1,300.

Remember: BB Security Group LLC AKA Allianz Security Protection AKA Imperial Security and Now AKA Asp-NYC

BB Security Group LLC Scam Review - The Beginning

2011-12-12T01:11:00.012-08:00

Help me by writing your experience here BB Security Group Scams Exposed

BB Security Group LLC Scam Review: B&B Security Group LLC, Credible or ~~Not~~?

I'm a former US Marine and National Guardsman, Jerry, who was looking for employment as a security guard. To leverage my efforts of obtaining employment I signed up through careerbuilder.com, fedshirevets.gov, usajobs.gov and many other sites in order for me to get job announcements; therefore, believing BB Security Group was legitimate and didn't lead me to question anything. This could be part of BB Security Group's tactic into luring innocent job seeking individuals like you and me, especially during this economy. Please let everyone know about this company whether or not you want to become a security guard in New York or not! I would appreciate your concern! Furthermore, I received BB Security Group recommendation through Careerbuilder.com. Here is a picture inside my email account and a picture of what it looked like when I clicked on the third link within my email: "DO YOU WANT TO EARN UP TO $750 PER WEEK AS A SECURITY OFFICER?".

The contact info on that email from Career Builder was Ms Porter (as you will see on the picture on the right - Ms Porter also happens to be the "HR" - "Human Resources" rep) with phone number 347-206-1925. I never thought a place like Careerbuilder.com would harbor such agencies. This is, BB Security Group Scam Review, a site dedicated to those who are simply looking to find a job as a security guard or simply wanting to become a security guard to make money part time as a college student. This Review will be exposing their scamming practices so you don't go through the troubles. The company's "name" is BB Security Group and their address is 250 West 49th Street and they are in suite 700 in Manhattan, New York - Train E gets there and stops right across the street so you can beware and know that we are in the same page here. There is another website that harbors their stupidity: Simplyhired.com - And I'm sure there are other websites that harbor them. But take a close look at this picture too please tell me that this doesn't look really suspicious to you? Aren't they supposed to be a security guard company? Why are they offering position as from desk attendants and other positions other than Security Officers?:

BB Security Group LLC Scam Review: Two Things I did Not Pick Up at First

Firstly, they do not have an official office number - all their contact numbers are cell phone numbers. For example, "Mr Cook" is a person/manager at BB Security who never mentioned his first name and is the person who interviewed me and his number is 347-893-1927 (you can test it out and ask that you would like to seek a security guard position and you'll see they will ask you to pay 80 dollars cash the same day you are to come in) This is the first sign I should have picked up this was all a scam. Secondly their website, which is supposed to be www.bbsecuritygroup.com, is parked on GoDaddy's registrar - this basically means someone owns this domain name; however, there is no information or details to display anything about security guard employment or operating business. If you were to go to www.bbsecuritygroup.com you will see GoDaddy's website not a security guard website. Please do your research before you make a decision on anything you do in life for this matter. Don't let this become a frustration as it did for me. Lastly, I would like you to keep in mind that I didn't bother to look this company up since I had been recommended it from Careerbuilder.com. Everything else seemed legit up to this point since I did pay 75 dollars to get my security guard license in 2005. I imagined that's why my renewal would cost which is why the 80 dollars made sense to me at the time. I hope this B&B Security Group Scam Review deters a lot of people from making the mistake I have done - please refer your friends and family about this, especially if you live in New York, Manhattan.

BB Security Group LLC Scam Review: Realizing the Breakdown was a Scam!

Not only did Mr Cook ever mentioned his first name but he was wearing a suit with sneakers on which I noticed after I had paid. Other known scammers Max with phone number 347-220-7452 and Ms Acosta 347-367-7172 and there many more than work there - at least a dozen. All "interviewers" are well trained to suck your money out of your wallet. I was strongly encouraged to create this B&B Security Group LLC Scam Review website because we are all upset on how these individuals went after our money using high pressure tactics. They show three different ways you can make 10-12 dollars an hour and 12-14 and 14-16 dollars an hour. "Mr Cook" explained to me that I needed to have 8 hours guard license 16 guard license and Fireguard License and a anti terrorism training if I wanted to get paid 14-16 dollars the price was $699. This was the highest of the three suggestions. This was the breakdown: The first package was to pay $399 for an hourly rate of 10-12/hr with basic 8 hour pre-assignment guard training and 16 OJT (on the job training), the second package was $499 which was for the 8 hour pre-assignment and 16 hour OJT and Fireguard for an hourly rate of 12-14/hr and of course I picked the $699 package with an hourly rate of 14-16/hr (supposedly), I fell right for it, since its better than getting 10-12 dollars - the logic is irrefutable. They also promise you'll have your uniform as soon as you're done training so you can start working the following Monday. November 28th 2011 I paid $699 and received my first training: the anti terrorism training on December 1st 2011 I received the fireguard training. After each training they give a test which is also phony because the instructor leaves the class setting leaving us to "take the test". The instructor comes back in and "corrects" the tests and miraculously we all passed and there was no failures. Naturally, there would be some that would fail but lets say that everyone did pass, great, BUT I was one of four students sitting in the front who saw that the instructor had NO answer key in which to correct our exams. Please keep in mind that both of these classes the instructor didn't have an answer key to correct the tests.

B&B Security Group LLC Scam Review: Condition of Location and Applicants

Suite 700 in 250 West 49th Street where B&B Security Group is located is generally empty. There are chairs in the "waiting" areas of the Suite. The applicants that come in ARE ALL "hired" because they are all going through training when the applicant pays into their lies. No applicant is turned away because they are only there to send people to "training" in order to get them "hired". They do not have much furniture; it seems as if they are set up so they can leave at any moments notice. All three rooms where they "interview" applicants also simply have a desk and nothing else. Again, I didn't expect to be recommended by Career Builder to a place like this. In the end it was very deceiving to have a "interviewing" and "hiring" and training process which is why I have created this B&B Security Group LLC Scam Review.

BB Security Group LLC Scam Review: After completion of all Training, the Surprises

This is why I wanted to expose this "company" in B&B Security Group LLC Scam Review because all I want to do is simply stop them from scamming others. They have, and are still, scamming by the dozens EVERY DAY from 100 dollars to 3000 dollars promising and guaranteeing employment as security guard only to find out that we can find jobs elsewhere on our own because they refer us, similar to what a friend does when he/she knows there is a place that is hiring. They claim to have connections with well known security companies BUT they don't. They simply refer people to security guard companies the same way a friend would - in other words they have no relationship with any companies and act on their own scamming people everyday for their hard earned money! Not to mention the least, the "contract" which clearly states Refund Policy says as following "For all courses that B&B Security Group LLC offers there is a $100 non-refundable training fee due at the time of registration and reservation of a class seat. This fee also includes all deposits made under $100. Student also understands and agrees that after the start of the training ALL monies paid are non refundable. Tuition refund requests must be made in person and in writing." In other words those of us to signed this "contract" took a leap of faith in order to obtain our jobs and were screwed because there will be no refunds once we have begun or completed our "training". The "contract" is not signed by Mr Cook, it is printed. After the fact, there was no job waiting at the end of training and no uniform as promised. They simply said we'll "you'll get your uniform when you get hired at the places we are going to tell you to go to" - Outraged, I immediately thought about how I officially have been scammed when others during "uniform" day felt and expressed the same way I did: deceived and robbed. Then as we went to "get hired" to the locations they some of us to go to, such as Cambridge Securities, International Protection services and Affinity, there was an application to fill out and these companies had NO clue who was B&B or why they sent us because they clearly stated they had no affiliation with B&B Security Group LLC or its applicants. Finally, I decided to call some other colleagues that went through the training and "hiring" process with me and they expressed they felt the same way. Currently I'm filing a dispute with my credit card company because I don't believe they should have not one sent of my money! You should do the same if you used a credit card. If you didn't use a credit card then I am deeply sorry, you have lost your money, especially if it was cash.
