I am a Nigerian and need to find out if I can get justice for a scam carried out against me by a company based in US.
I was a naive Internet marketer who was contacted by Mr Nick Hill of this company on phone in my country and asked if I was interested in building a business online, though I was skeptical since I was not sure how they got my number but I was at a vulnerable point then when I needed to have something to do and needed help understanding what Internet Marketing was and so consented.
He then told me his company would help to train me till my business was set and asked how much I was willing to commit to the training and I told him then of my financial state but due to some pressure I agreed to find $3, 000 and told him where I was getting the money from that it was going to be a loan from my sister who I was not going to reveal exactly what I needed it for because my people are skeptical about the Internet and might not help me if I revealed it to her. We agreed for a day to make the payment.
While we where having our discussion I asked for an itinerary of what I would be taught and was told that I would get all this when I signed the contract. I was horded down to make payment and almost accused by them of wanting to scam them and had to scan my credit card to them before payment was effected.
To my dismay, immediately after the payment a contract was sent to me I did not get the itinerary but rather a contract that did not outline my training schedule but rather what the training was supposed to be.
I tried calling my contact Mr Nick Hill but from then on he proved elusive. I was then contacted by a member of their team a Mrs Deborah Jackson that she was to kick start my training which we started but I kept asking about my training schedule. It was then she told me that they were training consultants to the company and that I should call the company which I did with no response.
After some weeks in between that I had my holiday, we completed the initial program and I then asked what next but nobody had an answer for me.
After sending mails and not getting any response from them as to having an itinerary, I told them I would not continue unless I have an itinerary that I needed to also enable me plan myself, but still got no response. I then told them that I was calling off the contract and they should take their service charge and the cost of the training already given and refund me the balance. They then told me that my training money was not refundable but rather that they would give me more training time but I refused, because the issue of an itinerary was still not solved.
I have written, threatened and even told them I was going to write a book and expose them for who they are, but because they assume I am far away in my country Nigeria and can't get to them, up till this moment I have not gotten any response from them.
I am not just interest in justice but exposing this company to the world so that other people would not fall for their scams.
See the attached documents below to support my complait.

Mary,
I'm so sorry I have been extremely busy with other clients and have not forgotten about you. Your position like I said will not be given away until we talk in further detail. This campaign is hnot some thing that I can explain in email because it is built around what you need your business to do. Now as far as how fast you will recoup your investment, that will depend on how hard you work the business. I have seen it take weeks to months but all along the busness will pay for itself as long as you ask questions and follow instructions. The nature of this training is easier to explain by phone and it would be in the agreement that states you will be worked with until you recoup your investment. I will call you asap to further explain. I apalogise again for bing so busy. I have not forgotten you. I cannot give your position away unitl it is something we feel like you shouldn't do, can't or won't do.
Best Wishes,
Nick Hill

Dear Nick,
Please can you send me a mail detailing exactly what my package entails based on our initial discussion, for it seems my instructor is not clear on that and this is affecting my training and your clarification of this would enable us move forward.
This is why I am sceptical about all this, in the first place and you know the condition I gave and how I got the funds. So, I would appreciate your prompt reply, though I don't know why you don't like sending mails. Also, you need to speak to my instructor(s) on whatever your response is.
Hello Mary,
I'm so sorry that you thought our tone wasn't pleasant, we did not mean for that at all. We are confused about what is going on. If your expert isn't telling you what to do and how to do it then we need to know so we can fix this problem immediately. They are sent a copy of what you've received so you are right they should know and you shouldn't have to explain it to them, I just meant that you could look at your contract and know what you should be getting. I'm sorry to hear you have been sick, hopefully you will get feeling better.
Thanks,
Nick H.

Dear Nick,
You are getting my reply late because I have been down with sickness, and I am only a little better today, though not yet fully recovered.
I am not too happy with the tone of your mail, because I don't think it is in my place to tell my instructors what my package is all about. I think it is in you guy's place to discuss with my instructors and mine is to present myself for training. Presently, I am cut in the middle of what I don't know and it is not that the contract is detailed enough for me to understand. It is in your place to break it down for me to know what my contract entails, I signed the contract in good faith believing that you know my needs and you have something for me, but presently, I am believing that it is all about money and not after what I get or what I would get. How am I to know if my instructor is teaching me the right thing when you can give me any details.
Like I said in my last mail it is my fault for signing a contract in good faith. I have sent her the copy as you told me to all the same.
Thanks
Mary

Hi Nick,
This is a last reminder on the above subject matter, since you have refused to reply my mails you have only confirmed my worst fears of this been a scam. Thanks a lot, the only good thing that came out of this is my meeting a nice person in the name of Deborah Jackson.
You are free to ignore this mail as you ignored other mails that I have sent see extract of the last one below.
Do what you feel is right, I pray we will meet one day when I would have the opportunity to tell the world what you did to me.
I am not going to leave this industry, I am going to make a success of it, and won't be deterred by you.

MY LAST MAIL
"It is with great displeasure that I wish to cancel my contract agreement with you based on you not meeting most of the terms of our contract, and ask for a refund of the balance due after deduction of the course taken.
Since I signed with you in October with all the promises made to me, I have only had phone coaching sessions with Deborah Jackson which ended early last month and up till this moment I have not been contacted either by you to find out the status of my training or to be informed of the next line of action.
What is painful about the whole thing is your silence, after several mails. If you remember, I told you I was going to borrow the money to do this training and you promised that with the coaching you would provide I would be able to pay back or start paying back my loan, this is March, I have not set up my site nor even completed my training how am I earn to earn the money back.
I am highly disappointed because I had such great hopes about the program and I must confess, I have discovered that I made one of the greatest mistake of my life signing up with you, with my greatest gain been my sessions with Deborah. I have gained more from those who I did not pay a dime to than I have gained from you except again from my sessions with Deborah.
From the onset, I asked for a dairy of my training schedule and never got an answer. If you read the terms of the contract you would see that you have not met 1/10th of our agreement, is this fair.
You are free not to reply or treat as the babbling of an ignorant person, as my earlier mails have been treated, but I know that we will meet one day for I am determined to make a success of myself in this industry with the help of others, who have been teaching me a lot.
Regards

Hello Mary,
As I had informed you in my previous emails; you are past the time allotted for a cancellation / refund to be valid. The cancellation policy is stated in the contract in which you signed. You may refer to if you have any questions.
In your email you state that our company has refused to communicate with you, however your program file shows all communication and correspondence is which has occurred. Please make note, that any and all information regarding the program materials and tools are confidential.
You had also emailed regarding the hosting fee for your website, in which I have been informed that that account has been cancelled per your request and has not been charged since March. I'm sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with services, but want to ensure you that we strive to provide a quality product and service to all of our customers. You have been offered an additional two personal sessions as well as your other venues of support such as the live chat and email support. In March you had replied that you would like to decline that offer. However the status of your program has not changed, in which the offer still applies. As our warranty of service states, we will continue to work with you until you recoup your initial investment.
If you have any other concerns or inquiries, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Niki

Subject: REFUND OF MONEY (Attn: Nick Hill, Travis)
To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
Hi,
I am writing again for the last time on the above subject matter see below a copy of my last mail, and to intimate you of part of my next line of action which is including the writing of an eBook where the contract and copies of the mails between us will be used to inform unsuspecting victims like me about your business and also to inform you of my preparing a brief with my lawyer on taking legal action against you.
I have only asked what is legally mine and so this mail serves as a means of informing you of my next line of action, so you are free to treat this as usual as an empty threat or to take it seriously, the ball is in your court.
"I have waited since March to receive a refund of the money paid to you for my training which you did not carry out to my satisfaction necessitating my cancellation.
I am seeing this as my been scammed by you of my hard earned money and exploitation of my innocence. I am ready to get a lawyer to help seek a redress of this. I might be based in Nigeria, but I do know our contract is covered by international laws and also my grievance is the lustier attitude you have exhibited since you collected my money not only have you REFUSED to communicate with me but you have not bothered to respond to any of my mails.
I would do everything within my reach to seek redress and I know that one day I would get justice. It is very easy to assume that fraud is committed by those of us from third world countries, but your actions have shown that it his not the country but the person, for I related to you Nick and later Travis as a person of trust even without seeing you or having any testimony of your services, and you betrayed that trust.
I am attaching a copy of the contract you made me sign and let your conscience judge you if you have any to see if you carried out the terms of the contract. Like I said I am not interested in going on with the training for your actions have made me loose any confidence in you, all I want is a refund of my hard earned money which you Nick especially know about. "
If you feel justify take me to court.
