A blow that takes advantage of the desperation of those who are unemployed has increased in Sao Paulo. The agencies promise jobs of work, but only for those who pay for a course.
And then people pay, they discover that the job does not exist. The Procon São Paulo recorded more than four thousand complaints this year about this type of scam.
The Procon recommends that, before hiring a course, the candidate should try to do a test class, talk to other students and refer complaints registrations. And strengthening: take the course can not be a prerequisite for getting the job.

Tips and care in hiring extracurricular courses
Before the contract is important to visit the site of the course, talk to other students and, if possible, take a class test before enrollment. Consult the registration Procon complaints and social networks to check for complaints against the school in question must also be measures to be taken at this stage.
The courses that promise "right job" after its conclusion deserve special attention, since schools do not have to ensure the placement of the student in the labor market. As well as offering free courses and only charge the material: if the contractor becomes cashes with the course will find it difficult to return the material and recover the money paid.
Consumers should only sign the contract after read it carefully and make sure that it contained all the offers made verbally. It is necessary to observe if there was no whitespace, since some schools await the formation of groups with a predetermined number of students and leave blank clauses which provide for hours, the course start date and day of the week it will occur. The completion of these items after signing the contract can hardly be proven. Thus, if the consumer disagrees with the changes later practiced by the company and decides to give up the course, this may require the consumer to pay the fine for termination.
For vocational courses and that should expedite the completion certificate with qualification is required to be enrolled and registered with the competent body (nursing course, security, etc.). It is therefore important that before hiring this data is checked.
Cancellation of contracts
The conditions for cancellation must be clearly laid out, especially if there is a cost and time. Not attend classes does not imply that the consumer can cancel your contract without having to pay a fine for termination. However, the contract must not only penalize the consumer for the termination, but must also establish how it will be repaid in the event of termination caused by the supplier. The early failure of a course by the supplier must ensure the consumer a refund of the amount paid to the value adjusted for inflation.
According to the Consumer Protection Code, the clause to cancel establish obligations placing the consumer at a disadvantage exaggerated or are inconsistent with good faith or the balance between the parties, it may be considered void.
To cancel a contract it is recommended to do so in writing, filed copy. Do not accept the argument that simply communicate its decision orally. Keep a filed copy of your order.
