Cereprotec now has an office address and a copy of a patent application on its website. Google does show an office block at that address so no comment on its veracity but there is no trace of the patent filed at the US Patent & Trademark Office. The law firm exists and has filed many patent applications but this isn't among them. The title is fishy too; I can't find any indication that glycolurils have been used in biological research let alone developed as potential medication.

I also checked out some of the companies listed on the Kriger website; all of the ones I looked at do their own recruiting. Neither could I find any sign of accreditation for education/training that is recognised by the US or Canada.

My condolences to those who fail for the scam. Including myself.  1500 bucks down the drain. I've been a CRA for 8 years now but no thanks to this scam.  If you have the money to pay, take courses offered by SOCRA or ACRP.

I am not the type to take the time to post anything anywhere, but I find this important if not amusing.  I recently came across EB while looking for other opportunities within industry.  After sending my CV to what seemed like a legitimate recruitment agency, my email box has started to fill with the same spam as mentioned above including the contact from Clinqua even the same HR rep.  Something did not smell right, so I did some looking and my next email is going to be to a friend of mine in the San Diego Attorney General?s office.  Not that much can be done, but maybe a call to the "HR Manager" will make this operation worry a little.     A few points of interest for the sake of helping others:*For what it is worth, I am a hiring manager within industry, I am certified CCRA, and I have some years of experience.  The first email from EB implied that I needed experience, certification, and more education (I have an MS/MBA).  First Flag  *I have outsourced to CROs for clinical studies; however, I have never heard of Clinqua until now.  After looking around on the internet, I cannot say for sure if the name Clinqua is a real CRO that somehow was drug into this, but it would seem that I would have heard of them before as my business address is XXXX La Jolla Village drive.  -Their office building should be down the street from mine.  Funny, I have never heard of a vendor that I should be going to lunch with.  Shame on their BD staff.  *To answer a few questions I have seen, yes, you can get hired as a CRA without a certification (I have done it).  It is not as easy, but I would hire an experienced CRA with a good resume over a less experienced CRA with all the degrees and certifications out there (experience = job).  The employer should agree to pay for any certification or at least assist with paying for it.  Look to ACRA and SOCRA for resources.  Other sources are out there, but do get hooked into being a victim.  Best of Luck

No one by the name Bruce Kriger lives in Ontario, Canada. I looked it up on 411.ca. However, Bruce kriger lives in San Diego California on 4370 La Jolla Village Drive San Diego, 92122-1249 the same address that is provided by Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc posing as a hiring company. BRUCE = KRIGER = ESPOIRBRIDGE = CLINQUA = FRAUD, COMPLETE SCAM

another comment"Never waste money and time with kreiger you will never see any CRA graduated from kreiger they are making money from you if you need to join ask them to give you field experience or internship and if they are willing to do so ask them in written, or pay once you get field internship. indeed kreiger reputation is not good"

This company has been calling me to sign up for their certification and says that they have jobs they will give out to those certified by their company. Is this true? are they registered with the BBB? what about clinqua clinical trials inc in san diego? does anyone have information on them? they are not registered with the BBB either.
