I noticed that more than one discussion forum on the subject of espoirbridge, cereprotec, kriger, etc, has mysteriously disappeared. A discussion on indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... c137e1e737d4204)
disappeared. Several pages of this discussion also disappeared.

I'd like to invite people to continue the talk at

I created the space so that this discussion can continue, even if this particular thread is taken down. Please bookmark it!

Hope to hear more from all of you.

Never mind.  Just looked back at previous messages and saw that Clinqua seems to be on the list of scammers.  Come to think of it, also received an email from Kriger with the same $600 special for CRA certification.Best to stick with the tried and true!

Regarding the emails asking us to call urgent for some jobs and as an answer to Bruce: I did  write a few emails to info @ cereprotec.com, as well as to s.stewart @ cereprotec.com with different inquiries regarding the company and this after i received the same urgent email that everybody else recieved and believe it or not i never got any answer( what a surprise). I think we should report this as a fraud, we all gave a lot of personal information to who knows...

First, I got an email from Espoirbridge asking to confirm email. Next,I got an email from a supposed recruiter Amanda Bale from Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc. After a few minutes,I got another email from Kriger offering training at a discounted price. I spoke to Amanda Bale she said I was the perfect candidate for the study except that the company needed CRA training which would be partly paid by the company.I asked her for the no of the training company and she gave me a no and asked me to speak to Angela or Julie.If a company is interested in you they provide the training. Also,when I asked her the location of the employment she said I'd be working from a home office. I spoke with Angela and she said that the discount price was 900 and I might have to pay 450 USD. All this info was suspicious and so I did the reverse look up on the address of the company,4370 La Jolla Village DriveSan Diego, 92122-1249; and it turned up 100 people, one of which was Bruce Kriger. I also did reverse lookup on the no of the company and guess what, it is a landline in Rancho Bernardo, California not Sandiego as the email claimed. So this whole thing is a scam. I looked up the better business bureau of San Diego and Clinqua is not registered. I was lucky enough not to pay a cent to these people and I hope that other people will run into this forum and not fall into their TRAP.

Thank you very much you guys.  Like all of your comments I also received a ton of e-mail regarding job position in my hometown seeking for CRA with a least 6 months experience.  I found about you guys by searching cereprotec website.  They also ask me to call for an interview but I didn't loose my time since you all warm me.  They now have a new scam company call Pharmalef.  The website looks legitimate. Ìf someone knows of a company call Pahrmalef please let us know.

This is what Kriger and Espoir Bridge won't tell you


"Hello All,
You do not need course work or additional degrees, costing thousands of dollars, in order to break into clinical monitoring. A four-year degree in anything science related will be fine. I have a Ph.D. and wanted to get away from the bench but still get 'credit' for having a higher scientific education. I applied online at the big job websites and called for advice to local research organizations until I got a call back from the HR department of one of the largest CROs in the world. I took a lower-paying job as a trial assistant in exchange for the large company training me on everything I needed to know. I was promoted in ~half the usual time to the CRA role, get multple pay increases per year as well as bonuses, and have been monitoring for nearly 2 years. The key is applying to a large company that can afford the money to train you, avoid signing contracts, and starting at the bottom position. Don't tell the recruiter you 'love to travel', just be clear that you have no problem traveling 3-4 days/wk. You are not applying to be a professional tourist. Read industry magazines to learn the acronyms (CRA, CRO, IRB, DCF, IND, etc). This industry is doing very well and expansion at the large CROs is booming."
