Complaint about a California polygraph examiner

(No identifiers are listed. If you recognize yourself here, correct the situation for the future. Courtesy of Polygraph Examiners Of America, www.peoa.US )

Examiner told a potential client that 'the more you pay for an exam, the more accurate it will be'.
APA member: YES
Recent past complaints: YES
Examiner gender: F

Summary per Client: Other examiners that potential client talked to advised that her statement was a lie. Whether you pay a dollar for an exam or pay a thousand dollars for an exam, an exam follows Federal guidelines and is computerized. The equipment doesn't know how much was paid!

Note: There is no 'adjustment' to make results more accurate just because a client paid more.
