I have some friends out on a current protection gig and I was asked I have heard of these guys. I found them on the web but was wondering if anybody has actually worked for/with them.
Thank you.:confused:

Should I say "fly-by-night" security company?

First I wouldn't trust any company that uses cookie cutter templates ( I mean just take a
look at some of the pictures) and graphics, cannot space or format their text on their website correctly, no business address posted, no business licence posted, and with a John Doe owner hiding behind a few email addresses.

Somebody just decided to start a security company, he is recruiting and whatever happens happens. :rolleyes:

Imagine how many guards will send their personal info to this guy :rolleyes:

I'd have to say that there are major red-flags on their website. For starters the HR e-mail has "www." that a pretty big typo to me.
Why is the area code for the contact phone number is in Michigan yet the only testimonial listed is in CA? The "Public Relations & Marketing" E-mail is for a company with a @yahoo.com E-mail.
Under services they list "Kidnapping," how many security companies will work kidnappings?

I'm sure that's there Chinook. :rolleyes:

Those pictures seem very generic.

Hah what does an adult thumb in a baby's hand have to do with security? That was one of their pictures.

I'm working on a website for my dad's upcoming company; that website gave me some things to steer away from!

I would never apply or do business or hire from a company that has a virtual appearance such as that. A website is like one's online office. If it is dirty and unkempt, the company probably isn't the best choice out there.

How can they not be legit?

Under the Owner/Operator Bio section, he lists (among his other accomplishments) that he is a MACHINE GUN INSTRUCTOR for his police department...

Every department has one of those, right?

Citicop.

I don't know about you guys but we're packin' 240B's in the trunk! ;)

This puts even the "Nigerian" email scams to shame while the best part is when you click under their "Travel services" tab:

and then click on the "Testimonials" link:

“The cruise I booked through your agency was absolutely incredible (and very romantic)! I proposed to my girlfriend that week and she accepted.”

“My last minute business trip went smoothly thanks to your fantastic corporate travel department. Thanks for all the following up and getting me to exactly where I needed to be while saving money.”

I did some Googling and dug up Wolfpack Security Services (http://www.wpssss.com/main.htm).

It seems to be a Blackwater-esque company operating in the Middle East.

I can't say that its any more legit than the other site, but was it this instead of Protection Inc?

WSS is legit, had a friend who was working for them in Iraq running convoy security for the Marine Corp.

Legit does not equate eo reputable.

FWIW, I've been to Iraq AND Afghanistan, working pretty closely with the State DSepartment (who manages all those contracts) and I have NEVER heard of them in-theater.

Who says that means they work kidnappings, they might be on the other side of an investigation or two;)

What I mean by legit is that the company actually exsited. wheather they were reputable or not is another question.

Tell me, how many people here remember custards battles. Probably not alot. Thats because CB ended up losing all their contracts over there, because of poor management, poor equipment, poor vehicles, and poor operator selection. As a matter of fact, they were one of the very first company operating in Iraq. I heard a lot of horror stories about the company, like sending operators over, and then abandoning them to fend for themselves. Not having weapons for the employees.

I have worked several contracts in the middle east, and there were several companies I have never hear of. Most were fly-by-night companies, but never the less they were there.

Switchback, if you were over there working as a Deputy Marshal, then I sure you didnt mingle with all the contractors, Im sure you didnt have the time to.

As for wolfpack protection inc. they are surly a scam. I cant say much for how people interpet websites, but I can say, if someone reallys has the desire to got work over seas, and work as a security contractor, then why not just work for a more reputable company, and quit looking at these second hand companies that might send you to the middle east and just leave you there, and you end up with your head cutoff (no disrespect).

If those who are interested in working overseas, check out this website feraljundidotcom. The website does not offer jobs, but a place where one can network and find connections to other contract jobs.

custards battles

Custer Battles. :D

Well, don't be so sure. :rolleyes: I hung out with, and worked very closely with, State Department agents AND many contractors. As ANYONE who has been over there knows, ALL the contractors are under close scrutiny from the State Department. Also, intel meetings/distributions cover a great deal of good/bad operations, who's doing what, etc. In Iraq, I also worked very closely (and was close friends with) the top Air Force NCO, in charge of all security operations in the IZ. If you are invited and/or on such distribution lists and associate with the right people, you would be surprised what is monitored and distributed. ALL of the contracting companies have issues over there... ESPECIALLY THE FLY-BY-NIGHT TYPES.

Real companies will have at least one real name put up. While it looks a little like a real company site at first, read it and then read some others.

That web site is a joke.

Here are a couple of real companies. Notice anything different?

I'm certain that any company owned and operated by a guy known only as "Randy" - with SWAT training and undercover work with "a Federal Agency" to boot - has to be a reputable corporation.

Not as bad as the one in my town. There's a company (not naming names) that drives around in an old beat up hippie van (best color I can describe is rust) with a little amber light on top and a magnetic tag that says "Ranger Patrol". At work we always joke to watch out for the Ranger Patrol, some bad *** dudes! :cool: LOL! At least these guys are tryin (which is about all the credit I can give 'em!)

No, these appear to be two different companies.

Wolfpack Security Services I've heard of. Wolf Pack Protection... they're not doing themselves any favors with that website. For all I know, they may be the guys who kick Jack Bauer's butt every day of the week, but that site is all assed up.

We have something like that just north of you up in Maine.

I admittedly used to work for the owner, as his only guard in the company, at one of his only clients - in a parking garage. Husband a wife operation. He was a self appointed "Commander" and she was a "Major". What a joke, IMO. :rolleyes:

Just got off a 10 day gig with WPPI and I have to say it is a first class operation. All expenses and travel were paid upfront and hotels and air were first class. I am getting ready to do another gig with them in New York. I was paid seven days after the completion of the gig and look forward to working with them again.

Joined today, first post, no info in profile.

Well, if you say so, then they MUST be a "first class operation." :rolleyes:

I hate to be condescending, but no one knows you from Adam. Even if you were a Marine, as your username insinuates, that hardly qualifies you for much in that line of work... let alone in a top notch operation.

Here is an interesting Rolling Stone article. If this isn't the same company washed over, what a strange name to give your company.

They are sure flying under the radar. What kind of clearances are they requiring to work for them?

Edited to say: I just went and looked at their web site again. They don't even ask if applicants have clearances. In fact, they don't ask any of the questions you would expect a legitimate company to ask. I'm not buying it.

Most slanted, biased article that has ever been written.

The slant of the article isn't the point. It's Rolling Stone Magazine, not National Review.

From that web site, do they look like the company you'd like to go to Iraq or A-stan with?

I don't have a dog in this fight so it matters not either way.

I am smart enough to recognize a bull**** article when I read it though.;)

Same here.

Find me another reputable security company that puts their application online in a word format.

That application also asks how old you are, if under the age of 18. :rolleyes:
