When he called, they said he would have to come to his interview with a $100 training fee, and this would not guarantee a job (they said he could "probably" get a job if he got the training and passed a drug and a credit check. Does this sound like a scam to you? Anyone else ever run into something like this?

considering the lack of information on what the job actually is, it certainly looks like one. Not a US person myself but we don't get charged for a Job interview in the UK thats for sure.

Over here we get CRB checks, thats if you get the job and the company itself pays for the checks

Sounds like a neat scam. You pay for training, which could be nothing more than a one hour talk, with no promise of a job, so it sounds like a legal method to scoop cash from a room full of people for little outlay.

Unless the offer is from an established company with a good reputation, I wouldn't bother.
