There was no immediate comment from the New York City-based company.
The attorney general says he’s received more than 200 complaints about the company after it placed what he says were bogus ads for jobs on Craigslist and in New York City newspapers.
He says consumers responded to the ads and were told they were selected, but had to go through the company’s training first. The training cost $449 to $667.
